FIRST EDITION, frontispiece and 51 further illustrations, many full-page, original white cloth, lettered in gilt to upper board and backstrip, faint spot to cloth at foot of lower board, t.e.g., printed poem laid down to front pastedown, a couple of clippings laid in (including a review of a subsequent Keeble title), very good. Inscribed by the author on the flyleaf: 'To Lady Aberconway, with the author's kind regards, 11.5.27'. The recipient was the suffragist and horticulturalist Laura McLaren (née Pochin), Lady Aberconway - the clippings bear dates succeeding her death, and may have been laid in by their son, Henry, the 2nd Baron Aberconway - who inherited Bodnant Garden and continued in the horticultural pursuits of his mother. A faint pencil note beneath the inscription refers to p. 33, where the need to stake plants is emphasised. Keeble was educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge; he became Sherardian professor of botany at Oxford in 1920.
