Original full cloth binding, gold lettered. Original dust jacket, some loss. Hardbound. Fourth edition. ** Very nice copy from the J. Horace McFarland Company proof room. 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.

During the years 1455-1485, England was shaken by a series of dynastic civil wars fought between the House of Lancaster and the House of York, each side claiming the right to the English throne and willing to bathe the country in murder and mayhem in order to get it. The War of the Roses gleaned its name many years afterward from the supposed badges of the contending parties: The white rose of York and the red of Lancaster. Elizabeth Woodville, from the Lancastrian side, became a widow when her husband, John Grey, was killed at St. Albans in 1461. In a controversy over land with her mother-in-law, Elizabeth's two young sons were stripped of their inheritance, forcing Elizabeth to consider a meeting with the King in order to restore their estates. In a legendary scene, Elizabeth waits under the branches of an oak tree, her two young sons by her side, and bravely approaches the tall, youthful, warrior-king as he is returning from hunting. Her downcast looks and mournful beauty (or so we imagine) not only gain her suit, but the heart of the king. The union of King Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville is legend - their marriage antagonizes members of the King's family and tempers are further inflamed by Edward's generosity and favoritism extended to his queen's extensive and ambitious family. As a result, members of the House of York turn against the King and attempt to force him from the throne. Inevitably, the War of the Roses escalates, throwing the country into turmoil. Book
