Large octavo illustrated with seven engraved plates and and a engraved portrait frontispiece pp xii 379 rather used and thumbed internally and becoming rather weak the front and rear hinges very cracked and loose the title page detached original cloth rather worn and blotched. The Syon Gardens copy with their stamps throughout. RARE. The extensive sketch of his life was written by his daughter. Knight was the brother of Payne Knight and the second President of the Royal Horticultural Society. Attention was first called to his work in 1795 by the publication of the results of his research into the propagation of fruit trees and the diseases prevalent among them. He used 10000 acres 4000 ha of land he inherited to conduct breeding of plants including strawberries cabbages and peas and built an extensive greenhouse. Knight performed basic physiological experiments on plants which work had been performed before only rarely. He elucidated the effects of gravity on seedlings and how decay in fruit trees was passed on by grafting. In many respects his work looked back to that of Rev. Stephen Hales. His goals were always strictly practical aiming to improve useful food plants by breeding for better qualities. The Downton strawberry was the ancestor of most important modern strawberries until recent times. It is not widely known that he studied variation in peas and found many of the same results as Mendel but he failed to make the same imaginative leap about how these changes took place. Knight intentionally shut himself off from outside scientific influences. He refused to read anyone else's scientific papers until Sir Joseph Banks with whom he had a voluminous correspondence persuaded him to do so. First Edition. Cloth. Fair.

1819016708London: Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown 1819. the title continues: "to which is now added the culture of the cucumber; the plan of a lately invented brick frame for forcing fruits flowers and esculent vegetables without the influence of fire-heat". Second edition. Illustrated with one folding plate a plan of a forcing frame small octavo pp xxxvi 428 errata leaf edges untrimmed original boards rubbed and a little worn recently re-backed with paper spine and label. There is offsetting from the plate to the opposite page of text and some foxing to the plate and occasionally throughout the book but this is not heavy. The section on vine cultivation has seven pages on which some instructions have been underlined in ink but this has been done so neatly that it almost looks as though it it part of the printing. Bound in at the front is a 12 page bookseller's catalogue. This is an uncut and unpressed copy and as close to its original state is is likely to be found. A great copy. Loudon referred to MacPhail as "an excellent grower of pines and melons" but it is perhaps for his culture of cucumbers that he is best remembered. His brick forcing frame illustrated in this work was described by Rogers 1839 as " an excellent invention that has certainly rendered the forcing of this vegetable more simple.there are few gentleman's gardens and few principal market gardens without them". He was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place Croydon for nearly twenty years. Second edition. Boards. Very Good. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown Hardcover

In October 1891 Veitch embarked on a tour of inspection of the great Botanic and Public Gardens maintained by governments in various countries as well as visiting many private horticultural establishments to decide whether the Veitch gardens and nurseries might be enriched by further additions. He set off by way of Rome and Naples to Ceylon thence overland from Tuticorin to Lahore. He continued to Calcutta and on to the Straits Settlements. In Penang he visited the Botanic Gardens whose curator Charles Curtis was formerly employed by James Veitch & Sons as a plant collector before moving on to Singapore where he visited the Botanic Gardens. He then visited Johore before returning to Singapore in February 1892 when he climbed Bukit Timah the highest point on the island with Walter Fox curator of the Gardens. He then travelled to Buitenzorg West Java where he visited the Botanical Gardens. He also explored the crater of Kawah Papandajan volcano and visited Lake Bagendit near Garoet. His travels then took him to Japan where he met Charles Sprague Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum and they undertook a joint plant collecting expedition including ascending the Hakkoda Mountains together. After visiting Korea he reached Australia in 1893. However he found Australia disappointing and wrote that it was easier to collect seed in Japan where there was cheap labour; in Australia "no one will help". He complained that the seeds of many plants "were so tiny he did not know if he was collecting seed or dust". He sent to Kew a collection of dried specimens of 250 species from Western Australia. Later he visited the North Island of New Zealand before returning to England in July 1893. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Cloth. Fair. Printed for Private Circulation Hardcover

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.

Sepp & zoon Contemporary red sprinkled paper wrappers with a printed paper title-label on the spine. 2 L 521 1 blank pp. First edition of this extensive work on the cultivation and multiplication of plants and trees accompanied by an introduction which explains the basics of horticulture. The work discusses hundreds of plants in alphabetical order and gives important facts about their growth and development. All mentioned plants were considered suitable for Dutch gardens. The work was very accessible and easy to read for the general public. According to Van Eeden it was so popular that the publisher still received inquiries for it in the 1860s. However since the information in it was no longer up-to-date by this time the work was edited and re-published in 1868 as Hortus Batavus. The present work however is the first edition.With a red ownership stamp "Ex Libris J. Visser Rotterdam" on the front wrapper and the title-page the printed price of the work on the title-page has been corrected by hand. The edges and corners of the wrappers are frayed and the spine is damaged with loss of material at the head and foot. The work is occasionally very slightly foxed and the edges are lightly browned.

First edition of the first notable horticultural work and nursery seed catalogue printed in the United States by this Irish-American nurseryman who corresponded and traded specimens with President Thomas Jefferson at Monticello as well as cultivated specimens collected during the Lewis & Clark expedition. McMahon before 1765-1816 immigrated from Ireland during political unrest and by 1802 had established his popular nurseries including greenhouses experimental gardens and hot houses near the Germantown Turnpike between Philadelphia and Nicetown. These contained useful and ornamental plants adapted to the American climate and in this detailed volume he outlines month-by-month the instructions for erecting and laying out the plants their cultivation and has incorporated as appendix detailed catalogues of 18 separate classes for available specimens. Eventually McMahon was able to cultivate and began selling a variety of plants collected from the Lewis & Clark Expedition including a fragrant currant Ribes odaritissimum and he also successfully cultivated Osage orange trees Maclura pomifera which were among the most celebrated specimens. The book became a classic work in the United States reprinted in 11 editions from 1806 to 1857 and urged American gardeners to incorporate indigenous species into their ornamental plantings.
