"This book has been out of print for almost a decade, and in the intervening years many things have happened both in my own life and in the interwoven lives of my friends and colleagues, and gardens and their plants. I have also learnt more about the garden plants that we cultivate in Ireland. A new edition was required, and I have taken the opportunity to augment the original text. I have added a chapter on roses, based on my address to the ninth World Rose Convention held in Belfast during 1991, and I have drawn into this book, in edited form, a scattering of essays that were published elsewhere and the unpublished scripts for talks which I gave on Sunday Miscellany broadcast by Radio Telefis Eireann. I have also made corrections, and altered a few names to bring them up-to-date. In a few instances, the previously published history has been revised in the light of my more recent research" - Dr. E.C. Nelson..

The book is lavishly illustrated by Wendy Walsh, with 21 coloured plates (including ten new watercolours for this edition), 18 figures in Chinese inks and 9 vignettes in pencil.

The limited edition is specially bound in quarter green morocco on gold cloth boards, top edge gilt, head and tail bands and in a handsome slipcase. Signed by the author, illustrator and publisher in a numbered limited edition of 10 copies.

The general edition is handsomely bound in coloured pictorial boards, depicting the beautiful 'garland of flowers'.
