Extensive discourse on gardens from planting designs to tools to plants. Bookplate of the Rt. Honorable William Henry Smith (1825-1891) of England, located on the rear pastedown and inserted upside-down. Smith was instrumental in the family business of W.H. Smith as a book and newspaper seller. He was elected to Parliament in 1868 and promoted to First Lord of Admiralty without seafaring experience. It is said that he was possibly the model for the H.M.S. Pinafore operetta character, Sir Joseph Porter. He later served as Secretary of State for War, First Lord of the Treasury and Leader of the House of Commons. Smith's crest of a shield, with an extended arm holding oak leaves, appears on the bookplate with the title "Deo Non Fortuna Fretus" or loosely translated, "From God, not from Luck". Sold along with the publisher's dummy book.
