A century characterized by a growing interest in science, the opportunity for travel, and leisure for gardening furnishes the setting for Butler's book. The rise of landscape gardening in England is traced, and the origin and history of its most famous gardens are given. The close relation between England and America in the field of horticulture is also discussed.
