A very charming popular account of the most recent discoveries in the physiology of plants.

All our food comes through plants. They are the link between the animal and mineral kingdoms. they are able to  take from the earth and the air the inorganic substances they required, and to build them into organized material on which animals can live. Directly, through the use of the plants themselves, and indirectly, through animals which have been nourished by plants we get all our food through the vegetable kingdom. - Via Origin of Cultivated Plants

This is a very rare and early book. Originally written in 1889. This has a grayish cloth cover with burgundy or brown lettering. Adorned with numerous outstanding Botanical illustrations. The covers are soiled and show bumped corners, mostly at upper right edge and length but not bad. The interior is showing no writings and slightly toned pages. Very nice for its years.

A perfect gift for your gardening friend or to add to your own library.

Please let me know if you have any questions prior to purchase. Thanks for stopping in!
