1913017254Langport: Kelway 1913. Very well illustrated with many colour plates and hundreds of black and white images all from photographs quarto pp 4 352 rear hinge cracking front hinge weak and with the preliminary pages becoming loose fore-edge foxed otherwise clean internally ornate pictorial boards a little worn age-toned and marked cloth spine. RARE. One of the most lavish of nursery catalogues. This volume was dedicated to Gertrude Jekyll and contains a short printed preface by her. James Kelway was born in 1815 and became a gardener like his father William. At the age of 18 James was appointed as Head Gardener on the Dillington estate near Ilminster which was being revamped by its new owner James Lee Lee. Over the next 17 years James learned not only how to manage a large garden but also took advantage of the walled gardens and large greenhouses to develop his love of hybridising new varieties of plants. When he moved to Langport in 1851 he was already an experienced horticulturist. He started with a piece of land of less than two acres but over the next fifty years he built up a nursery business with over 200 acres of its own and many more leased from local farmers. He established Kelways with a world wide reputation for both vegetables and flowers. His first love was the gladiolus but he also worked on other herbaceous plants such as delphiniums pyrethrums and of course peonies which were to become Kelways flagship product. His son William and grandson James continued his work into the 20th century and although the business was hard hit by the two world wars it has survived and thrived to this day. Kelways issued their most impressive catalogues called Manuals of Horticulture between the 1890s and the outbreak of the First World War. These were like modern-day gardening encyclopedias full of horticultural advice articles from gardening publications photographs and of course their seeds and plants for sale. They were lavishly illustrated and took advantage of the emerging science of photography as much as they could. Cloth-backed boards. Fair. Kelway Hardcover
1892016586Albany New York: Weed Parsons & Company 1892. Illustrated with a frontispiece an allegorical plate and a facsimile letter from Victor Hugo small octavo pp xii 200 11 rather age-toned but otherwise very clean and tight original maroon pebble cloth slightly worn and rubbed. SCARCE. The title is about as direct as the rest of the book. The ramblings of this "crazy Frenchman at Albany" shed very little light on the actual events of his life but give an incredible sense of the energetic character of Louis Menand. There are exuberant paeans to his wife Adelaide whom he calls "Phanerogyne" meaning "remarkable woman" who died in 1890. There are rambling thoughts on the various revolutions and republics in France a scathing appraisal of his arrival in a free land "where slavery was flourishing as carnations" and tales of intrigues at flower exhibitions all told in the least linear style imaginable. He was the son of a gardener in Burgundy France. As early as he could remember he was fascinated by horticulture. "I was eight or nine years old" he later wrote "when I began to try to grow plants from cuttings. I have always been fond of cutting properly or figuratively speaking except cutting my fingers." Eventually Louis became an estate gardener in Paris and later in the Champagne region. In 1837 he came to New York and went to work at nurseries in Halett's Cove which would later become Astoria. There he met a young piano teacher from Albany named Adelaide Jackson. They fell in love and were married in her family home on Park Place in Albany and soon took up residence in what they called "the haunted house" on the Albany-Troy Road Broadway. Louis began selling plants. After a rough first year "more than modest that is to say meagre I might say miserable!!" things began to pick up. Menand had a fair collection of "hardy perennial plants" which had become pretty popular in the Albany/Troy area. Later he sold Norway spruces balsam firs and other popular trees and shrubs. In 1847 he was able to buy several acres of land on what is now Menand Road where Ganser-Smith Park is now located for his greenhouses and nursery. He cultivated plants that no doubt had never before been seen in this old Dutch town -- camellias palm ferns cacti and orchids among others. He was noted for importing exotic plants from Europe and commanded an impressive price for his best camellias: "a little plant four inches high would sell for $25." Menand won significant awards for his plants through the years and continued to grow. He bought 31 acres near the entrance to Albany Rural Cemetery where he set up his son with a half dozen hot houses devoted to growing cut flowers roses carnations pansies geraniums and "an almost endless variety of other species suitable for cemetery decoration." These included all manner of shrubs which no doubt still influence the scenery in the cemetery. His greenhouses were so popular that the Albany and Northern Railroad added a stop there in 1856 named "Menand's Crossing" which the succeeding Delaware and Hudson Railroad renamed "Menand's Station." .
