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

1876017838London: Longmans Green & Co. 1876. Third edition. Illustrated with a stunning tinted lithograph frontispiece two folding plates of ring growth octavo pp x 235 24 page publisher's catalogue edges uncut slight age-toning but otherwise very clean internally the front hi nge is slightly weak and is exposed for about 40mm at the top original green cloth with only slight signs of wear the spine head slightly pulled. A work that seems little-known as indeed is the author within horticultural circles. Greenwood had an estate in Hampshire at Brookwood Brockwood House near Bramdean. The tree-lifter was the Colonels invention for transplanting trees up to 30 feet in height with their ball of earth intact a feat the apparatus apparently made possible for a single individual to do at a rate of one tree per day. The somewhat aptly-named Colonel Greenwood was very enthusiastic about the importance of trees to the landscape and the first edition was published in 1844. Colonel Greenwood is said to have excavated local archaeological sites and was a keen geologist referred to as the father of subaerialism ascribing the greater inequalities in the earths surface to atmospheric influences. He published a further book in 1857 entitled Rain and Rivers. His main thesis was the supremacy of rainwash as an agent of land sculpture and the realtive unimportance of streams and rivers. It was said in his obituary that 'had he fallen amongst geologists in early life instead of amongst thoroughbreds he would doubtless have occupied a leading place among men of science'. He does not appear in Hadfield's History of British Gardening nor more surprisingly in Desmond's Dictionary. Third edition. Cloth. Good. Longmans Green & Co. Hardcover
