About This Item
[8], 637 pp.The first and only edition of Van Eedens guide to domestic and foreign plants, flowers and trees from every corner all over the world: from China and Japan to Africa, Mexico and Greece. Van Eeden, an agronomist and botanist, says all these flowers are suitable for cultivating in Dutch gardens. Stafleu & Cowan indicate that it was first issued in parts, under the title Bloemkundig woordenboek. Although this work is quite learned due to the quantity of information and the Latin names of the plants, trees and flowers, it would have been very accessible and easy to read for the general public seeking information about different plants, flowers and trees they could sow in their garden.Front hinge cracked, stain on the back board, but still in a good condition.l Arnold Arboretum I, p. 225; Jackson, p. 439; Stafleu & Cowan 1626; for the author: Stafleu & Cowan, p. 725.
