1802017638Fountain Well High Street Edinburgh: Oliver & Co 1802. The title continues "Likewise a new method of improving moss etc together with valuable receipts for destroying vermin on bushes hedges trees etc.". Small octavo pp xxviiii 228 a folding chart at the rear a little stained light age-toning and foxing with 7 woodcut chapter heads and tail-pieces the hinge at the title page cracking slightly but still perfectly sound bound in later green cloth. RARE. From the library of the nurseryman Will Ingwersen with his bookplate on the front endpaper. The folding chart lists the number of plants which can be grown in an acre either Scots or English. The title page states that Hall was late gardener and nurseryman to the Hon. Family of Cromarty. The letters V.D.M.E.D. appear after his name. Apart from that bleak information I can find nothing further on the author. The intriguing thing is that over half the book is devoted to catalogues of florists' flowers which is not mentioned in the title. These were obviously for sale but prices are not given. Nor are there descriptions but the extent of the lists makes them invaluable for cultivar names. Hyacinths Tulips Ranunculus Anenomes Bulbous Iris Auriculas Carnations Pinks finishing with evergreen and flowering shrubs and a few seeds. Hyacinths by no means the longest list contains over 300 cultivar names alone. Whilst it is perhaps not surprising that Harman Payne failed to spot this book for his Florist's Bibliography it is strange that it also evaded the eagle eye of Ray Desmond who fails to mentiong the author in his Dictionary. First Edition. Cloth. Good. Oliver & Co Hardcover
