24p. Illustrated with cartoon like drawings. Front and rear pages foxed. Oblong 8vo. Original full paper binding illustrated with a cartoon drawing on front cover. Walter Huber (1886-1961) Sports Cartoonist for Philadelphia Inquirer and Bulletin and some Washington, D.C. newspapers, as well as the political cartoonist for the Harrisburg Patriot newspaper. He also served as the Art Director for J. Horace McFarland Co. This copy was used in the printing office of J. Horace McFarland (1859-1948). McFarland was one of the first Americans to sound the call for environmental and scenic protection. In 1878, at age nineteen, McFarland opened his printing business and began to publish gardening and seed catalogs. Realizing that woodcuts did not adequately represent the plants, he started to explore the use of photography. By 1894, he was experimenting with color photography and his company had become America's premier publisher of gardening catalogs, with what may have been the first color photographs produced in the US. The success of his publishing business provided McFarland with wealth and security, and freed him to engage extensively in the philanthropy and civic activism he loved. He was recognized as a master gardener whose books and photographs on roses, trees and other subjects were famous across the United States. He wrote more than a dozen books on roses and made the American Rose Society a world-renowned institution. As president, he established a method of rose identification and registration that is still in use today. He was widely known as "Mr. Rose" and was a founder and president of the American Rose Society, which had an international impact on the propagation of roses. His home and garden in the Bellevue Park section of Harrisburg was an internationally famous testing ground for hundreds of new plant species. It contained 5,000 plants including varieties of roses.

prima edizione, br. ed. 8vo, bandelle pp. 346, tavole a colori f.t., f.to 22x14, come, nuovo Collana: Biblioteca Adelphi n.261 Innumerevoli sono i libri sui giardini intorno a noi. E ancora più innumerevoli le persone che amano e curano giardini e piante. Ma, se dovessimo dire qual è il libro sul giardino, il vero livre de chevet per ogni «giardiniere appassionato», quello che accoglie l’idea di giardino in tutta la sua immensità (in fondo, scrive Borchardt, «dei sei giorni della creazione uno intero era stato dedicato a creare un giardino») e in tutta la sua leggerezza, sprofondando al tempo stesso nei minimi dettagli, tale libro sarebbe senz’altro Il giardiniere appassionato. Non vi è nulla di altrettanto minuzioso e severo (quale delizia sarà, per tutti, leggere in coda a queste pagine il prezioso «Catalogo delle piante misconosciute, nuove, perdute, rare, singolari»!), nulla di così ampio respiro, fra i libri sui giardini, come quest’opera goethiana per eccellenza, fondata sull’affinità elettiva tra la pianta e l’anima umana. Borchardt la scrisse alla fine della sua vita, negli ultimi anni Trenta, e non poté vederla stampata. La sua esperienza di giardiniere era maturata in decenni di vita italiana, soprattutto in ville della Lucchesia. Così questo libro non considera solo l’essenza universale del giardino, ma quella sua manifestazione specifica, incantevole e felice, che è il giardino in terra italiana. Il giardiniere appassionato fu scritto in Italia nell’estate del 1938 e pubblicato, postumo, nel 1951 a Zurigo in una edizione incompleta. Solo nel 1968 l’editore Ernst Klett di Stoccarda lo ha proposto integralmente.
8vo, hardcover in dj, Gary Paul Nabhan takes the reader on a vivid and far-ranging journey across time and space in this fascinating look at the relationship between the spice trade and culinary imperialism. Drawing on his own family?s history as spice traders, as well as travel narratives, historical accounts, and his expertise as an ethnobotanist, Nabhan describes the critical roles that Semitic peoples and desert floras had in setting the stage for globalized spice trade. Traveling along four prominent trade routes?the Silk Road, the Frankincense Trail, the Spice Route, and the Camino Real (for chiles and chocolate)?Nabhan follows the caravans of itinerant spice merchants from the frankincense-gathering grounds and ancient harbors of the Arabian Peninsula to the port of Zayton on the China Sea to Santa Fe in the southwest United States. His stories, recipes, and linguistic analyses of cultural diffusion routes reveal the extent to which aromatics such as cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and peppers became adopted worldwide as signature ingredients of diverse cuisines. Cumin, Camels, and Caravans demonstrates that two particular desert cultures often depicted in constant conflict?Arabs and Jews?have spent much of their history collaborating in the spice trade and suggests how a more virtuous multicultural globalized society may be achieved in the future.
