The Arnold Arboretum's place among the world's great botanical gardens is in large part due to the skill and determination of its first director, Charles Sprague Sargent. In 1872, when Sargent was given the responsibility of creating an arboretum for Harvard, there were no American arboreta he could use as models. Yet the plan of development he established for the Arboretum was so sound that subsequent directors have adhered to it with few variations. This book, commissioned by the Arboretum to celebrate its hundredth anniversary, is both a biography of Sargent and a history of the institution's growth.

Excerpt from The Trees at Mount Vernon: Report of Charles Sprague Sargent, Director of the Arnold Arboretum, to the Council of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union The largest trees, which border the Bowling Green, were probably planted from 1783 to 1785, for it was in these years following the end of the Revolutionary War and preceding his election to the Presidency that Washington was most actively engaged in the improvement of Mount Vernon, and it was at this time that the Bowling Green and the adjoining gardens were laid out. A few of the trees planted by Washington, in spite of the poor soil at Mount Vernon, have grown to a large size. Among the Live Oaks and Pecans planted in Louisiana after Washington's time there are larger trees than any now at Mount Vernon, and some of the Elm-trees planted in front of New England farmhouses after the middle of the eighteenth century have thicker trunks and broader heads of foliage. Larger planted trees exist in Europe, and in Japan many Cryptomeria-trees, some of them planted six or seven centuries ago, surpass in size and grandeur all other planted trees; but no trees planted by man have the human interest of the Mount Vernon trees. They belong to the nation and are one of its precious possessions. No care should be spared to preserve them, and as they pass away they should be replaced with trees of the same kinds, that Mount Vernon may be kept for all time as near as possible in the condition in which Washington left it.
