"The American Flower Garden Directory: Containing Practical Directions for the Culture of Plants, in the Hot-House, Garden-House, Flower Garden and Rooms or Parlours, for Every Month in the Year" by Robert Buist was an essential manual and resource for people hoping to one day cultivate a flower garden of their own. It also allowed those interested in plant life the opportunity to learn about the different flowers that could be grown in garden houses, greenhouses, homes, and gardens throughout the year.

An illustrated history of flower design at the White House from 1960 to the present showcases arrangements created for a variety of state and other events and provides instructions for creating arrangements at home.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1907 Edition.

Flowers have long been an essential element in home decor, and Floral House takes a fresh approach to accenting the home with florals of all kinds. You'll see how easy it is to use simple decorative touches -- from fresh-cut flowers to floral throws to patterned china pieces -- to create elegant rooms that echo the beauty of nature. Arranged by palette, you'll find accents in Floral House to complement your own sense of style, whether you prefer soft shades, cool colors, sun-drenched hues, or deeper tones.
