Dealer Notes

FIRST EDITION, and apparently sole printing of this significant practical account of the home cook's cottage garden of the 18th Century. From the publication of his ever popular Complete gardener in 1767 Ambercrombie, a London publican, had assumed the role of gardener for the masses, and this highly practical work provided a succinct account of growing vegetables and fruit within a limited space.
