Best source for photos of the pre-ANGC Berckman's Nursery?

« **on:** April 13, 2008, 12:59:51 AM »

Any ideas as to the best (book? other source?) for photos of the Pre-ANGC property?

Also, while websurfing, I found that there is a Berckman Gold Arborvitae. Is that a species that was developed out of the old Berckman Nursery pre-1930?

Found one with a little further searching on my own:

Chuck,
There are a few Berckman's Nursery pictures in:
Stan Byrdy's "The Augusta National Golf Club" includes picture from Ron Watt's collection you found.
Frank Christian's "Augusta National & The Masters" including Magnolia Lane from 1870's
David Owen's "The Making of the Masters"
I found no pictures in books by Clifford Roberts, Dawson Taylor, Steve Eubanks and Curt Sampson.
