About This Item
London England: T. C. & E. C. Jack, 1937. Hardback. First Edition. The Present-Day Rock Garden. Foxing to end inside covers. Slight wear to top and bottom edge of spine and corners of cloth. Green cloth with gilt lettering. Wherever possible the living plant has been the first source of information, and my thanks are due to the numerous enthusiasts whose gardens and nurseries have provided me with data. But many plants are still quite unknown to cultivation, so that herbariusm speciments have had to be interpreted, and, as a last resort, other people's conceptions, laid down in monography and flora; this book would have been impossible but for the generous facilities extended to me by various institutions, especially the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh and Kew. 681 pp. Hand cut pages. pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback.
