Flower Garden Directory and Descriptive Price -List of Seeds, Bulbs, &c by [Curtis, D. T.] D. T. Curtis & Co

Boston: D. T. Curtis, 1876. The twenty-third edition (88 pp.) in soft wraps, illustrated with engravings of various flowers and garden implements (brass garden syringes), descriptions of French and German flower varieties as well as more usual contemporary seeds and bulbs. The slightest flaking top and bottom spine of an otherwise remarkably fine copy without the damage and wear usually associated with such an ephemeral document of mid-nineteenth century horticulture.
