Mary McMurtrie's Country Garden Flowers by Timothy Clark
ISBN: 9781870673600 PUBLISHER: Antique Collectors' Club Ltd FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 310 PUBLICATION DATE: 24.06.2009 DIMENSIONS: 282mmX220mmX25mm 1134grams
DESCRIPTION: This book, using the paintings that Mary McMurtrie left to illustrate an unpublished book on cottage garden flowers, records how she created the garden at Balbithan and used her nursery to distribute the double primroses and cottage garden plants which her husband, John McMurtrie, bequeathed to her. Mary McMurtrie belonged to the small band of enthusiasts, which included Margery Fish and Gladys Emmerson, who grew double primroses during the period after the Second World War. At a time when every fifth day a house of some architectural importance was being demolished, these enthusiasts, along with fellow gardeners, preserved many of the plants from our gardening heritage of the previous centuries. Gently proud of her Scots ancestry, Mary would have been delighted to know that one of her paintings was chosen as a gift for Prince Charles during a visit to The Gordon Highlander Regiment in 2006.
