Gardening
History Timeline from Ancient Times to 1700.
Garden and Forest
A Journal of Horticulture, Landscape Art, and Forestry (1888-1897) was
the first American journal devoted to horticulture, botany, landscape
design and preservation, national and urban park development, scientific
forestry, and the conservation of forest resources. The journal was
established by Charles Sprague Sargent (1841-1927), the founding
director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. The Preservation
Reformatting Division used LC preservation specifications to produce
this digital reproduction of all ten volumes, comprising 8,400 pages and
over 1,000 photographs and other illustrations.

Flora Danica is a collection of folio-sized pictures of all wild plants
in Denmark that was compiled between 1761 and 1874. Some 3,000 images
