1899 Large Vick’s Floral Guide Full of Colorful Flowers Very Good Condition

Description

James Vick catalogs are certainly scarce. Especially issues between 1892 to 1902, after his death
in 1891. This is a large 10 by 8 inch folio, loaded with all color flowers in the first 26 pages. The
illustrations are carried through with non colorized plant material and farm implements. This is not
only a seed and plant materials garden book, but a horticultural guide for the beginning novice or
a seasoned Landscape architect. The guide extends widely into pruning and pest maintenance to
watermelons. All packed into this 112 page reference book. I assure you, most of the horticultural
practices and methods of maintaining a garden apply to any project today. There is wear to the
exterior of the spine which is at least 85% tight. Small tears and nicks to cover edges. The interior
pages are excellent with a couple small imperfections.
James Vick was quite the businessman and
journalist during his days;  producing invaluable
floral and plant guides as far back as the late 1820s.
