New edition. 8vo. pp iv, 515 (1). Ten hand-coloured plates plus the engraved hand-coloured title (page dated 1845) and other illustrations as listed, contemporary dark half morocco on cloth boards, edges speckled. Printed title page is dated 1844. Occasionally foxing to illustrations, what appear to be splashes to pages 42-43, but overall a nice example of a justifiably famous work covering French, Italian, English and Dutch gardens as well as types of soil, growing from bulbs, and a great variety of plants including roses, in its original binding.
