Much more than botanizing goes into his book. A son in law of Alexander Graham Bell, he was in touch with interesting early developments in the field of invention, particulary aviation. As an expert cameraman, he has amassed an amazing store of photographs, and his book has more than 200 exceptional illustrations covering the entire garden of the world."
