From the Publisher:

The dazzling possibilities of tint, tone, and hue are explored and depicted as never before for the garden using one vibrant color scheme.

From Booklist:

A cool and serene atmosphere best describes a garden dominated by blue-toned flowers. With the popularity of separate, defined spaces within a garden's total landscape, this volume, which highlights plants that fall within the shades of blue violet, true blue, and red violet, should inspire all gardeners anxious to try an individualized color scheme. The small format does not detract from the book's attractive layout; presented within its covers are color photographs and interesting suggestions for annuals and perennials, ground covers, bushes, and ornamental trees. A source list for the purchase of seeds, plants, and bulbs is included. Alice Joyce
