Frank Albert Waugh (1869-1943) was one of the first practitioners to
conceive of a history of American landscape architecture. He was a
renowned teacher, horticulturalist, and author, and while his writings
were rooted in naturalistic nineteenth-century landscape gardening, his
theories promoted modern applications. The book includes photographs,
many taken by Waugh, depicting far-ranging landscapes from Europe and
Japan to diverse regions of the United States, along with plant lists
and an annotated bibliography.
