Lacking also the engraved frontispiece.

A detailed calendar tracing a year in the life of a gardener; advising the reader on what to sow throughout the year, and how to properly care for your plants in order for them to flourish.

Written by Thomas Mawe, John Abercrombie, and other gardeners. Abercrombie, who also taught botany at the University of Cambridge, is best known for this work.
