The Popular Encyclopedia of Gardening - H.H. Thomas and Gordon Forsyth (eds) The Waverley Book Company. First edition 1954. pp 1088. Presented in original publisher's cardboard box (now in a very sorry disintegrating state), with address label pasted to the front face: the books were sent like this through the post. The box is franked, and dated August 1954; this is the only indication of a date. Three volumes in very good condition. All pages tanned. The boards are lightly shelf worn. The dust jackets are badly creased.
