Summary:

"This book is about the development of covered-garden horticulture in Europe, from the endevours of the Greeks and Romans to preserve foreign plants with the crude protection of talc, oil canvas or paper, to French and Dutch developments of housing, heating and cultivation techniques and above all to the great greenhouse and conservatory tradition of Victorian England; there is too a glimpse of the future with its scientfically controlled push-button techniques." --Front jacket flap.
