Description
 
The Gardens of Winterthur

Among the wealth of details of this kind is the description of the unique method used in laying out new beds of daffodils, of the way native shrubs and flowers can be used to best advantage with exotics, how important architecture is to any garden

Long before Henry Francis du Pont began the incomparable collection of early American decorative arts which is now the Winterthur Museum in Deleware, he started designing and planting the sixty-odd acres of gardens described in this book.

This book, like the gardens themselves, is designed both for the lover of beauty and for the person planning and planting his own garden.

As the reader roams with the author along tanbark paths and grassy walks, he sees in vista and detail the plants growing in naturalistic settings, and is given practical information on how to grown them.

Among the wealth of details of this kind is the description of the unique method used in laying out new beds of daffodils, of the way native shrubs and flowers can be used to best advantage with exotics, how important architecture is to any garden, and how an old quarry was transformed into a blaze of bloom from April through September.

CONDITION: Hard Cover with Dust Jacket, light wear to DJ, we will add a mylar cover to protect your investment. Illustrated, 196 pages, color and b&w, 1968
