Quality Reprint of a 1910 Biltmore Hardy Garden Flowers Nursery Catalog. Many photos around Biltmore Estate and possibly George W Vanderbilt's Maine estate, Pointe D'Acadie. Very interesting 60 plus page book.
More than a century ago, George W. Vanderbilt transformed the sleepy crossroads settlement known as Best, or Asheville Junction, on the Swannanoa River into an idyllic model village near the entrance to his vast Biltmore Estate near Asheville. The initial concepts and design for Biltmore Village were the collaborative efforts of Vanderbilt, architect Richard Morris Hunt, and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The finished village included more than 40 residences, a business district, a church, a school, and a hospital. It was centrally located among the developing towns of Victoria, Kenilworth, South Biltmore, and later Biltmore Forest. It characterized the elegance and prosperity of the building booms that flourished in the south Asheville area before and after both world wars.
Reprint of a color Iris catalog from Biltmore Estate that was printed the first time in 1911 to sell the excess estate plants. Very pretty with many different varieties of Iris in color.
