This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Germantown Gardens and Gardeners Garden is an open place reserved for plants, and a gardener is a person who helps a plant to grow. Upon this broad interpretation we set out. Before venturing to cross an unsurveyed country, it will be well for a traveller to fix the view points, for otherwise he may wander far astray. We, in essaying a rapid journey through trackless fields, may not linger, but must onward press, keeping in sight the land-mark upon the objective hill. For direction and distinctness we have divided Our subject into three parts; the Formative period extending from 1683 to i740, -during which German Towne was founded, when it became a village with its houses and business confined to a Pike, its interests being largely agricultural - the period Of development, extending from 1740 to 18 54, - during which the village expanded to the measure of a town, wherein farms gave way to estates, when pretentious gardens were prepared, and professional gardeners appeared; - and the modern period, extending from the year 18 54 to the year 191 I, - during which marked changes were made, elaborate gardens ourished, and wherein Germantown became an integral part Of the great city Of Philadelphia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare and long out-of-print treasure of garden literature, Gardens of Colony and State returns in a special reprint edition. Widely considered the best reference on garden-making in the colonies and the Republic, the handsome two-volume set is a lasting record of American gardens and gardeners before 1840. The landmark publication traces the development of a uniquely American garden design, exploring early garden literature and its effect on colonial craftsmen, as well as pre-1800 account books of nurseries and seed houses. Also included are fascinating stories of early horticulturists who inspired the establishment and patronage of botanical gardens for research, plant exploration, education, and public enjoyment. An impressive collection of early prints and photographs—of gates and statues, benches and pergolas, landscape designs and views—invites you to stroll through some of America's most exquisite homes and gardens, many of which have long vanished. Gardens of Colony and State is an important contribution to the historic horticulture of America, and a collector's item to be enjoyed for many years.
