"There have been printed of this edition of HISTORIC GARDENS OF VIRGINIA one thousand copies numbered 1 to 1000 No. 952"

"This is the only book which has undertaken to tell the stories which should possess deep significance for every American, as they have more than a mere local interest. And these stories have been collected by personal visits paid by the authors to the old gardens. Rare histories, valuable letters, garden records and personal reminiscences have been placed at our disposal with a gracious readiness, making of the task a sincere labor of love. The pilgrimage to each garden has been fraught with a pleasure which we hope, through these pages, to share with the reader.

A large part of this material has never before been made public. Many of the illustrations are entirely original and were made expressly for this book and all but four of the garden plans were drawn especially for it..." --Edith Dabney Tunis Sale, Tuckahoe, Virginia, March, 1923.
