“This book is intended primarily for flower arrangers who grow, or wish to grow, their own material and I hope very much that they won’t find it either presumptuous or didactic.  It is not in any sense, for those who with to learn about the art of flower arrangement itself.  Quite apart from the fact that so many excellent books are available in that particular field, flower arrangers nowadays know so much about the theory and are so highly skilled int eh practice of their art that I have no intention of rushing in among the angels here.” – (preface)
