Gardens Past and Present K. L. Davidson

Originally published in the early 1900s, this book gives information on the origin of the garden as we know it today, its beginnings being linked to the Roman occupation of Britain and one Julius Agricola. The cultivation of land prospered as the Romans considered agriculture to be the only occupation, aside from war, worthy of men. This insightful book is accompanied by photographic plates to illustrate each type of garden covered.
