Published in connection with an exhibition held at the Grolier Club May 15-July 27, 2013.
Since its founding in 1913, The Garden Club of America has maintained for its members a significant library of rare books on gardening. To mark its centenary, the GCA has published a lavishly illustrated survey of this little-known but remarkable collection of treasures, tracing the activities of the premier American gardening association over the course of a century through superb color plate books on natural history and floriculture, treatises on garden design and landscape architecture, and early photographic works on gardening. Forewords by Marian Weldon Hill and Eugene S. Flamm, essays, by Leslie K. Overstreet, Denise Otis, and Arete Warren, followed by detailed descriptions of 150 items from the collection.
Includes a bibliography, and an index. Designed by Linda Florio.
