"The Story of the Garden" provides a detailed history of the garden,
exploring its origins and development throughout the ages. Contents
include: "The Traditional Influence of Ancient Garden Lore", "The
Mediaeval Garden", "The Tudor Age", "Stuart Times", "French and Dutch
Influences", "The Georgian Period", "The Landscape School and the
Victorian and Edwardian Eras", "American Gardens", "List of Plants from

books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is
with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially
commissioned new introduction. This book was first published in 1932.
