Review Quote:

“For the professional concerned with authentic landscape restorations, for the weekend gardener who owns an old building and wants the property to relate to its structure, and for the scholar interested in the historical development of landscape in America, this will be a useful and handy reference for historical trends, principles, and horticultural information.”—Landscape Architecture
