About This Item
Portland, Oregon: Timber Press/Garden Club Of America Book. As New. Cloth. Revised Edition. Two volumes in quarto, cream linen covered boards with gilt cover decoration and gilt spine titles. Volume I unpaginated (approx. 350 pp.) Volume II, 363pp. Each with extensive appendices and indexes. Very generously illustrated throughout with brilliant full color photographs of each of the varieties of tree and shrub and detailed descriptions, sources and locations for arboreta, gardens and parks where the types can be found. This 75th anniversary celebration set of the Garden Club of America, is a response to the narrowing number of tree and shrub types dominating the field of landscape architecture in the United States and an attempt to gather, catalogue and promote the wide variety of species available in the US. Both volumes very tight, clean, fresh and unmarked in crisp, sharp, sparkling dust jackets. Fine in fine dust jackets. Virtually AS NEW..
