Foreword of Jan Christiaan Smuts. 4to; original green cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; price-clipped pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 24 + [I-CCL] + vi; two hundred and fifty full-colour plates. Very slight bump to top fore-corner of upper board. Near fine condition. An outstanding copy. "I for one am truly grateful to Mrs. Garrett Rice for these exquisite floral paintings, and to the Botanical Society of South Africa for having made them available to the public. The paintings have the double merit of beauty and of scientific correctness. They will therefore be welcomed, not only by the lovers of our beautiful flowers, but also by students interested in their scientific aspects. From both points of view they are a valuable addition to our floral literature." - From the Foreword by the General J. C. Smuts.
