About This Item
London: G. Kearsley, at Johnson's Head in Fleet Street, 1789. Fourth edition. 12mo, (measires 168mm x 105mm), pp xii, 5 - 164, uncut and unopened, hinge at pages 32/33 cracked but sound, otherwise extremely clean internally, original grey paper covers, slightly marked and soiled. An outstanding copy - unpressed and in its original state - of a very scarce book. As this was a book designed solely for almost daily use by working gardeners, a copy in this condition is a remarkable survival. [Blanche Henrey 1489. "Weston appears to have had an excellent knowledge of nursery gardening and nurseryman's sales catalogues. The book was originally written as the result of Weston being requested by a seedsman of London to write a few short directions for the proper time of sowing seeds, which could be given to customers".]. Paperback. Very Good.
