First printing thus, near fine hardcover shows touch of bumping at corners, light age toning to pages, and odd bit of toning along cloth edge of papers, in near fine dust jacket (price at flap) showing toning to flaps and same odd toning along panels where cloth meets paper on covers. 213 pages with illustrations. Still an attractive copy of these popular garden reminiscences.
