Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an extensive catalog of tree and shrub species selected and cultivated by the Harrison family from the mid-19th century onwards. Referencing its almost century-long legacy of development, the catalog showcases a wide variety of flora cultivated during the formative decades of modern American horticulture. The author began operations in 1884 as a nursery in Maryland and has continued to grow under four generations of family stewardship. The text is divided into categories of trees and shrubs, many of which have been mainstays of American gardening for generations, reflecting the crucial role the Harrisons have played in the horticultural industry. Specific varieties, such as the popular Norway Maple and the fragrant Japanese Quince, are included, providing gardeners with a wealth of information about cultivation, color, and blooming times. Beyond its practical value, the catalog offers a glimpse into the historical development of horticulture, with some species, like the American Elm, representing a direct link to the natural heritage of the United States.
