GARDENS IN AMERICA, by Marion Cran. The story 

 of how American gardens looked to the English eyes 

 of the author. She made a fairly representative sur- 

 vey of "a great bewildering splendid country — exhil- 

 arating and rich with beauty beyond any I had ever 

 dreamed. 



"I saw the Spanish gardens of California, the date 

 gardens of the desert, the lovely forlorn lost gardens 

 of the South, the azaleas, cypress swamps and wis- 

 teria of South Carolina; the historic gardens of Vir- 

 ginia; the cherry blossoms of stately Washington, the 

 dogwood in Pennsylvania. ... I touched the splendors 

 of Long Island and Newport, the gardens of the 

 North Shore and New England, coming to rest at 

 last in the enchanted woods of Maine." 320 pages,
