| Description | A 63 page catalogue with index and order form that details the various flowering trees and shrubs found on the Biltmore Estate in 1909 and available for sale to the public. The nursery at Biltmore Estate was established in 1889 and was developed to provide the estate with plants for its use. The public interest in the estate plantings resulted in the production of a large catalog of the estates flora and this catalog in 1909. At the time of the publication of this catalog, the estate had nearly three-hundred acres in cultivation with trees and shrubs and the greenhouses and cold-frames another seventy-five thousand square feet of seed beds and plantings. The alphabetical listing of the trees and shrubs describes each species and variant. Interspersed in the catalog are testimonies from happy customers of Biltmore Nursery. |
