bound in original brown cloth recently rebacked with black grained 
cloth. [4], xiv- xviii, [1], 20-139 pages. Illustrated with 11 
lithographed plates, one hand-colored and two tinted. This title is 
listed in Whitman Bennett's book on American color plate books (p. 106), 
but this copy is not colored except for the frontispiece. Hedrick, A 
HISTORY OF HORTICULTURE IN AMERICA: "The plates are rather horrifying 
examples of all the problems from insects which faced the fruit grower" 
(p. 529). Dampstaining to cloth and margins of many text pages and 
plates, heaviest to the title page and frontispiece. Good, used copy of 
this practical manual for orchardists. (#010569)        $150.00
