Beschreibung

A fine example of this very scarce pamphlet regarding the propagation and cultivation of cape heaths in the winter months. Vanishingly rare in the original wraps. In the original yellow wraps, which have retained their brightness. Rare, last seen at auction in 1989. And the last copy with the original wraps as here (but in not as good condition) sold for $890 in 1980. Illustrated, with a hand-coloured plate of Erica Aristata. Cape heaths are an African species of heather. The author, William M'Nab discusses caring for the plants during climates that have cold winter, E.g Scotland. William M'Nab was superintendent of the Royal Botanic garden, Edinburgh. He was also an associate of the Linnaean and medico-botanical societies of London. A very scarce, informative work, which looks at the soil best suited, propagation of heaths and their general treatment. In the original yellow wraps. Externally, in an excellent condition with just some minor handling marks to the wraps. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with just the odd spots. Near Fine.
