About this Item

Our first offering, "Landscape Design / A Practical Approach," is a large (7 X 9-1/2-inch) 8vo of 392 pp., with its original price of $35.50 rubber-stamped to the FFE, in a very good glossy color dust jacket. "From design analysis, study of land forms, and specialized business-landscaping analysis to environmental design and design of the landscape's hard elements -- this book covers the entire, rapidly growing field of landscape design, wirth the commercial designer/ salesperson especially in mind." "This book," author Hannebaum adds, "resulted from those frustrated attempts to secure a suitable text that was comprehensive enough for horticultural students yet detailed enough to make them awarer of the vast territory covered by the term 'landscape design,'" to include plantings designed to cool in the summer, allow the sun's warmth to heat in the winter, to block winds and control the drainage of surface water, while of course providing colors and fragrances for enjoyment. OUR SECOND OFFERING, a slightly smaller near-fine octavo of 374 pp., slightly soiled and bearing NO dust jacket, "Landscape for Living" is the 1972 Yearbook of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, photos mostly B&W but with a few introductory scenic photos in full color. Articles on flowering annuals and perennials, insect pests and what to do about them, selecting lawn grasses, using composts and mulches, plants that will attract birds, bees and butterflies, an essay on "Trees and Shrubs Can Curb Noise, but With Quite a Few Loud 'Ifs,'" etc. Two books on related topics combined into a lot to consolidate shipping. Combined weight will be 3-1/2 pounds. The pair now reduced from $15.
