Description:
London: James Ridgway, 1821. Octavo, pp (ii), 528, slight age-toning but otherwise surprisingly clean internally, bound in a recent brown quarter calf and cloth, very slightly rubbed. Later editions of the book were published under the title 'A Hothouse and Greenhouse Manual, Or Botanical Cultivator', but this first edition is very scarce. [Sweet was a prominent botanist and gardener of his day. He published both expensive colour plate works and also practical manuals such as this. This is one of the earliest books to contain so much specific information on propagation.]. First Edition. Quarter calf and cloth. Very Good.
