17834555Paris Chez Lamy 1783 Nouvelle édition. Il s'agit apparemment d'une "édition bon marché" d'une édition de 1750. Couvertures en papier souple avec un motif ligné bleu (collé sur une ancienne feuille de papier imprimé). Le papier est noirci et ébréché sur les bords. Le dos en papier est également fendu. La reliure tient toujours. A l'intérieur de la couverture se trouve une étiquette collée de la Bibliothèque de Nancy de Vincenot. Le livre lui-même est en bon état, mais avec un peu d'usure et d'écaillage sur les bords. L'ouvrage est composé de deux parties principales, un calendrier qui traite du travail requis mois par mois pour un jardin potager. Il y a ensuite un deuxième compte-rendu mensuel pour les "plantes étrangères" et les jardins de fleurs / serres. Deux parties plus courtes traitent de la culture des ananas et de celle des asperges. Bien que le titre indique "avec figures", celles-ci semblent être les décorations des têtes de chapitres. Il ne manque aucune planche et aucune n'est mentionnée dans la liste de l'OCLC. 183 pages. 190 x 110 mm (7œ x 4Œ pouces). Conforme à FirstSearch / Worldcat OCLC : 258623413. Rare.
