Modern library cloth.
1832 · New York
by Prince, William R - NURSERYMAN
New York: T & J Swords ...., 1832. Second Edition.. Modern library cloth.. Good; some spotting throughout that is heavy on several pages but not offensive; faint tide mark in the gutter of part II.. 8vo, viii, [9] - 200; xvi, [9] - 216 pp.
Full and accurate descriptions of fruit trees; omitting apples. This 'second edition' is actually the remainder sheets of the 1831 first edition but with a new title page. The text derives from many sources but still has enough of the esteemed nurseryman's experience (and that of colleagues) in evidence to question Hedrick's dismissal of the book. S & S #14371; Hedrick, p. 478. (Inventory #: 17130)
