Synopsis
Adorned with illustrations, this book documents an extensive horticultural expedition throughout southern Europe. The author's aim was to introduce unique and beautiful plants to the gardens of the United States. Spanning nine months and over 15,000 miles, the journey involved a meticulous survey of botanic gardens, private and experimental plantings, nurseries, and arboreta where species of potential horticultural value were collected. The author initiated an unprecedented reintroduction of rare plants, including elite clones and cultivars of familiar species, along with species and hybrids not previously cultivated. The detailed account of the journeys and the introduction of nearly 3000 plant specimens provides a rich resource for botanists, horticulturists, and garden enthusiasts alike, highlighting potential new additions to gardens around the world.
