"WASHINGTON BOOKPLATES" by Frederick Starr. Published in Seattle in 1927. 
This is numbered "No.95" of an unspecified limited edition. 'Six Articles 
Reprinted from the Town Crier, 1925-26.'  An informative little book on 
Washington-state bookplates, based on a series of articles. The bookplates 
were, for the most part, created by Washington designers for Washington 
bibliophiles.

preservation of the plant. 2d. An explanation of the process of extracting 
its sugar. Preceded by a few remarks on the origin and present state of the
