What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding
Volume VIII of 'The Floricultural Cabinet', for January to December 1840.
Illustrated with an engraved title page, and twelve hand-coloured plates. Collated, complete.
A botanical magazine, containing articles on many different aspects of flower cultivation, alongside information on the proceedings of horticultural societies, newly identified species, and more.
This magazine was published monthly from March 1833 until 1859, an incredibly popular low-priced publication which sold almost 60,000 copies in its first nine month. After 1859, it became a weekly publication, being renamed 'Gardener's Weekly Magazine and Floricultural Cabinet'.
Edited by Joseph Harrison, an important horticulturist.
