GOLDEN AGE OF PLANT HUNTERS (EX LIBRARY) by Kenneth Lemmon. The author, who is a horticultural writer of distinction, has concentrated on the period 1760-1860 in his account of man in search of new plants and seeds. That one-century span was especially significant in botanical history because many plants were discovered, but relatively few were brought back safely due to their inability to survive a long and rigorous sea voyage. B&W and colour plates. Hardback with plastic covered dust jacket, used condition.
