Miles Hadfield
Gardening in Britain
London: Hutchinson, 1960.
First printing
With lovely dust jacket art by William McClaren and several photographic sections, this is a definitive history of British gardening, from earliest examples to the 1960s.
The influence of such figures as William Kent, Capability Brown, and Humphrey Repton is shown, with digressions on the introduction of foreign species and changing fashions.
