"A garden is an essay in the tenancy of the earth," writes Elizabeth B. Kessler in introducing this first book to emphasize thee esthetic relationship between the modern garden and the natural landscape. And it is the contemporary feeling for interrelationships of man, land and plants, or artifacts and natural facts, that Mrs. Kessler explores in her text and in brilliantly annotated paragraphs. 104 pp.; 135 illus.
