Author Not Indicated , Illustrated by: Chromolithograph Panes
Schreibers Kleiner Atlas Der Wichtigeren Heilpflanzen
Publisher: J.F. Schreiber Esslingen & München.
Stiff paper wraps with colorful chromolithograph pastedown of plants, including strawberry in fruit and bloom, in a circular vignette. No date (circa 1915-20). 16 pages of text (in German) plus an accordian-fold panel with 12 panes, about 7.5 x 5 inches, illustrated in bright chromolithograph. My German is somewhat wanting, but judging by the images this booklet concerns itself with wild plants, shrubs, ferns, flowers, and trees. Nice renderings, which include foliage, flower, fruit/seed, and roots/corms. There is a paste-over on plate 7, apparently a publisher's correction. Mild wear to cover edges, short splits in spine paper at top and bottom. Very faint toning to page edges opposite covers. The images are printed on one side only so that the entire panel can be displayed when unfolded. HORTICULTURE 3243 Edition Not Stated Paperbound Good Condition 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Horticulture

His book is dedicated to John Quincy Adams by permission.

Falconer, William , Illustrated by: B&W Illustrations
MUSHROOMS: How to Grow Them , a Practical Treatise
Publisher: Orange Judd Company, New York 1912.
Dark green cloth covered hardcover with gilt stamped titles. 169 + 6 [ads] pages. All about mushroom culture, where and how to grow them, manures, spawning, insects and diseases, etc. Includes a chapter on cooking and preserving mushrooms, with some awfully tasty-sounding recipes that were clearly written by someone who cared deeply about the texture and aroma as well as the taste! The recipes are, of course, for the commonly raised variety for commercial use, not wild fungi. In good condition with very light edgewear and one unfortunately spot on the front cover where something faded some of the color (about the size of a fifty-cent piece but faded splotchily). Hmmmm, do they still issue fifty-cent pieces? Let's say it's about 1.5 x 1 inch. Name and place written in pencil on front paste-down, there is also a larger spot here where something was rubbed out forcefully enough to abrade the paper suface and that left a dark area floating in a patch of white-out. The rest of the book is quite clean and sound. HORTICULTURE 3306 Later Edition No Dust Jacket Hard Cover Good Condition 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Horticulture

Willmott, E. A. (Ellen Ann), 1858-1934.
Warley Garden in Spring and Summer / by Ellen Willmott.
Publisher: London : Bernard Quaritch, 1909..
[1], 40 plates : illus., front. ; 42 cm. Miss Ellen Willmott was born in 1858. Independently wealthy, gardening became her passion. She bought Warley Place and when she finished re-modeling the gardens, she bought a château in France and a villa on the Italian Riviera. She filled those gardens, too. Miss Willmott died in 1934. Her home on Warley Place was demolished; her gardens became rampant with weeds. No money, or gardeners, or family remained after she was gone.She was a photographer-- all of the 40 very fine photos in this book are hers. She was also a book collector which may be reflected in Quaritch being the publisher. LdeP 021. Good+, wear at corners, images excellent / no dj.
