What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

Third edition. An uncommon title. 

In the original cloth binding.

This practical guide offers hints on gardening for Bengal and Upper India, including laying out, seeds, pot-culture, planting and transplanting, pruning, culinary vegetables, trees, shrubs and more. The work was encouraged by the growing demand for such a guide, acknowledged as such by the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of India. 

Written by British artist Thomas A. C. Firminger (1812-1884). 

Illustrated with numerous full-page and in-text figures throughout.

Condition

In the original cloth binding. Externally, smart, with rubbing and bumping to the extremities, most notable to the spine head and tail. A few marks to the boards. Front hinge is starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with a few scattered spots concentrated to the first and last few leaves.

Very Good
