“ It is hard to imagine gardens without peonies, flowering peaches, camellias, gardenias, azaleas, wisteria, forsythia, crab-apples, and the host of other ornamentals that were introduced first in Chinesegardens.”                                          Mr. Peter Valder - Author of this book & Gardens in China.

The above book is available from the likes of Amazon.com & Timberpress.com.
