Golly. Giant killer gardens stalking the Appalachians?


Ah, he's advertising his own book! I wonder if the book is full of
similar hilarious typos!


Yeah, that's pretty embarassing. I noticed that typo right after I hit

typos. :-)

But it is fascinating to see Robert Allerton's changing taste from the
turn of the century to the 1930s and 1940s. He went from much more
traditional, Old World feel, right into Art Deco and Art Moderne. Both
in his decoration and treatment of the home, as well as the layout and
embellishments for the gardens.
