A reunion of trees : the discovery of exotic plants and their introduction into North American and European landscapes
Spongberg, Stephen A.1990
Books
More an adventure story than a catalogue. Spongberg (horticultural taxonomy, Arnold Arboretum) recounts the introduction of exotic ornamental trees into Europe during the 17th century, and the later systematic searching out and importing into North America. Very nicely illustrated. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
