(2), 140 pp. Engraved frontispiece, illustrated with chapter-head wood engraved vignettes; some copies were issued in printed wrappers. Recipes, gardening instructions, etc. BAL 6815. Drake 4149. Rather widely held in institutional collections (40 locations for this issue or runs), oddly but one in South Carolina (Francis Marion, with all six annuals). Several signatures pulled, some interior soiled, but a good solid copy. Original cloth-backed printed boards (rubbed and very dull). (#8097). (Inventory #: 61001)
