1852WRCAM55573Dayton Oh.: Gazette Print 1852. Letterpress broadside 12 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches with ornamental border. Old folds minor foxing two ink spots in left margin. Very good. A seemingly-unrecorded broadside detailing instructions on the planting cultivating culturing pruning gathering and preserving of various fruit trees in Ohio in the middle of the 19th century. The nursery owners explain their reason for issuing the broadside: "Inasmuch as there are many persons though intelligent in other matters who are altogether unacquainted with the cultivation of Fruit Trees we the undersigned deem it our duty to furnish all our patrons with printed instructions on the subject." The broadside was produced by Heiks & Company of Dayton who provide guidance on proper procedures for care of apple trees peaches grapes and strawberries with brief mentions of gooseberries raspberries and currants. Whether this broadside was given out to customers along with their purchases or posted at the Heiks & Company nursery is unknown but likely the former. A taste of the instructions regarding apple trees reads: "Make your rows thirty-three feet apart each way dig holes fifteen inches deep and two feet square fill the hole before setting in the tree within ten inches of the surface with rich loam - set in your tree in an erect position and to support it drive in a stake and attach the tree to it with a band of straw or some soft material. The ground around the tree should be kept loose and free from grass. Cultivate the spaces between the trees in potatoes turnips or like crops. Pruning should be done in the months of June and July or September. Cutting large limbs injures the trees." <br> <br> Little is known of the issuing company Heiks & Co. other than they were a nursery in Dayton and possibly Troy for some time into the 20th century. We can locate no other copies of the broadside in trade auctions or on OCLC. This is perhaps a unique surviving example. Gazette Print unknown books

184938759Great Britain 1849. Approx. 60 pages. Bound into the rear of: William Forsyth. A Treatise on the Culture and Management of Fruit-Trees; in which a new method of pruning and training is fully described . The Fourth Edition. London: Printed for Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1806. xxviii 523pp. 13 engraved plates 11 folding. Contemporary calf rebacked to style. Provenance: unidentified armorial bookplate on verso of the title featuring a wolf rampant and the motto Vincit Veritas. Unusual early 19th century gardening diary of an English fruit grower.<br/> <br/>The manuscript records the efforts of a knowledgable gardener. Although unidentified a Liverpool stationeer's blindstamp in the rear and a reference to a Kirkdale gardener suggests a gardener from a Lancashire estate. The manuscript begins with an entry dated 21 Aug. 1812 in which the diarist records his efforts to save a damaged peach tree: "Finding a young tree which had been planted about four years from a two year old plant very much decayed apparently from rain having got into the grafting which had rotted nearly the whole upper part of the stock I tried the following method of cure. I cut away all the rotten part about nine inches in length . plentifully with tar and covered the mixture of cow dung and marl." He updates the entry several times recording prunings to the tree and notes in 1814 that "the tree have two peaches this year . the covering wound was become loose . the tree otherwise healthy." A 15 July 1813 entry records a visit to Mr. Farrer of Kirkdale "for the purpose of enquiring into the mode I had been informed he had adopted of destroying the Coceus or American Buglas in apple trees . he showed me a tree on which the experiment had been made last spring." He describes the method of using mercury in detail and refers to the experiments of Hales. Other entries record his planting pruning and grafting of vines as well as nectarines and apricots and recipes for destroying worms caterpillars slugs and other pests. The manuscript further transcribes extracts concerning the care of fruit trees from the Horticultural Society Transactions and other sources. Many of the later entries concern the hothouse cultivation of grapes; for example a 28 November 1848 inscription: "The hothouse has not had any artificial heat during this year. We cut 14 lbs of excellent grapes." This manuscript is bound into the rear of a copy of Forsyth's Treatise. The Treatise "ran through seven editions in twenty-two years the first three in only two years and two American adaptions of it were also published . Some readers thought the book greatly indebted to Thomas Hitt's Treatise of Fruit-Trees first published in 1755 but E.A. Bunyard. explains the lack of originality of 'the voluble Forsyth' by saying that 'the details of the culture had been well thrashed out by previous authors and little room for innovations was left" Oak Spring Pomona p.101. "William Forsyth was one of that legion of Scottish gardeners who spent their working lives south of the border. His career began at Chelsea Physic Garden and continued at Syon House until he returned to Chelsea in 1771 to take over the care of the garden from Philip Miller. In 1774 Forsyth constructed one of the earliest rock gardens . Ten years later he took charge of the royal gardens at St James's and Kensington. His eminence in the gardening world made him one of the founder members of the Royal Horticultural Society" op. cit.<br/> <br/>For Forsyth: Bradley Bibiliography III p.141; Pritzel 2985; cf.

TM 466ELEGANT MANUSCRIPT CONTAINING TWO WORKS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL EDIFICATION IN FRENCH TRANSLATION. Illuminated manuscript on parchment in French France after 1482 c. 1490. Dimensions 274 x 175 mm. 70 folios written in a Gothic <i>bâtarde</i> bookhand 18 large initials parti-colored in red and/or blue inserted leaf in first quire with FULL-PAGE HERALDIC COMPOSITION IN GOLD SILVER RED BLUE AND BLACK. BINDING: Bound in modern nineteenth-century blue velvet over wooden boards pink paper pastedowns and endleaves edges gilt. TEXT: Manuscript contains two works that reflect the spirituality of fifteenth-century Carthusians and their quest for the contemplative life. The first text <i>Sept fruits de la tribulation</i> is known in only five extant manuscript and is still unedited. A free French version probably dating from the fifteenth century of either the longer <i>Latin Tractatus de tribulacione</i> or an abridged adaptation of the French <i>Livre de tribulacion</i>. The second text<i> Miroir d'or de l'ame pecheresse</i> is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery sin especially lechery penance rejection of the world the vanity of human wishes death and hell and heaven. There is neither a modern critical edition of the second text nor a complete census of the existing manuscripts; the copy here was apparently made from an incunable edition of c. 1490. This manuscript begins with a remarkable added full-page illuminated frontispiece with the coat of arms and motto of Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century the abbot of Bonnevaux and Saint-Pierre de Vienne. PROVENANCE: Copied in France perhaps northeastern based on script and linguistic characteristics as well as internal evidence. It belonged to Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century. It then belonged Charles Chardin bibliophile. It was later a part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps 1792-1872 who has been described as the greatest private manuscript collector of all time. CONDITION: Gold slightly rubbed some off-setting from heraldic painted composition to opening text page slight staining in upper margin and into three lines of text ff. 68-69. Overall good condition. Full description and pictures available. TM 466 books
