320p. Each page illustrated with lovely color photographs. ** J. Horace McFarland Company's bookplate from their Art Department. Tall 8vo. Original full cloth binding, soiled. Hardbound. 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. First edition. Nice copy illustrating in color popular flowers grown in the 1930's. One of the most famous books to use McFarland's photographs. PLANTS W133

About The Book – In a country as rich in fascinating horticultural plants as is India, A number of books have been written on gardening, mostly by amateurs whose love for their hobby is apparent. Many of these works contain sections on fruit, but the main emphasis has been on ornamental gardening. The growing of fruit for the market has been left largely in the hands of poor and uneducated men who have been content to continue the practices of their ancestors, and where these have failed, to accept failure. The potential importance of the fruit industry, and its great value to the country, were largely overlooked. When the author started practising and teaching fruit growing in India, the lack of any satisfactory text-book, and the scarcity of scientific reports on the subject proved great difficulties. Scientific investigation of the problems of pomology has increased markedly in recent years, particularly under the stimulus of the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research. The present attempt to meet that need was begun earlier. The material has been gathered and organized a chapter or two at a time, and published unbound, primarily for the use of students of Allahabad Agricultural Institute. About The Author – W.B. Hayes works on Fruit growing method in India, specially in the present state of Uttar Pradesh at Allahabad Agricultural Institute.

12mo., Sixth Edition, on laid paper, with engraved frontispiece, some light offsetting to title; attractively bound in twentieth-century full polished calf, back with gilt bands, second compartment with red leather label lettered and ruled in gilt, a remarkably well-preserved, bright, crisp copy. Although attributed on title to Thomas Mawe, Gardener to the Duke of Leeds, this extraordinarily popular and influential work was actually written by the diffident John Abercrombie (1726-1806). The manuscript was duly submitted to Griffin, who asked his friend Mawe to read it. 'Mr. Mawes [sic] bore testimony to the merit of the production, and prefixed his name to the publication in order to give it that celebrity to which it was so justly entitled, for which he received a gratuity of twenty guineas' (Henrey p.363). The work was a tremendous success, continuing to be republished for over fifty years after the author's death, although his name did not appear on title until the seventh edition. It was heavily plagiarised, perhaps most notoriously as 'The Modern Gardener' (1771) by James Meader, who was subsequently sued, convicted and prevented from republication. Curiously, despite its immense popularity, EARLY EDITIONS ARE VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. See Henrey II, 358 et seq.
