An excellent book which shows an historical progression to landscape

Blake sisters in their garden, Florence Yoch's Il Brolino, Bruce Porter's
Filoli, naturistic gardens such as Western Hills Nursery, Rosmini garden
in Los Angeles, Dennis Shaw's garden for the Slaters in Santa Barbara, cottage gardens such as Hamilton garden in Pasadena, Nancy Goslee Power's
garden in Santa Monica, Lotusland in Montecito, and the Newton garden in
St. Helena. Many good ideas in different styles are shown which effectively can be used in different parts of the United States.
