	ASHMORE A C S [COMPILED BY] Newnes Household Encyclopaedia Newnes, U.K. 1931. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A Complete Up-To-Date Book Of Cookery And Household Management. An Exhaustive Medical And Toilet Directory. A Guide To Etiquette And Gardening. And Hints And Recipes For Every Day And Everything. Alphabetically Arranged: Simply And Clearly Explained. A Handy All-In-One Book Of Household Reference For Everybody. 426 pages, size 7.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' This Encyclopaedia is intended as a handy book of reference for the average household, and will be found of inestimable value to every housewife. The compilers, while endeavouring to include all that necessary and useful information which the housewife will require, have yet been limited to the scope of a single volume, so that the reader must bear in mind that only such information has been included as is likely to be required in the management of the average household. Each subject, however, has been dealt with in a manner that will enable the reader to turn with confidence to the work for assistance in any ordinary difficulty or emergency. The alphabetical arrangement of the subject matter will be found particularly simple and attractive, eliminating as it does the necessity for a separate index or the classification of the subjects dealt with under separate sections '.

Contents, light browning to the endpapers, otherwise clean, bright and tightly bound. A fascinating look into how the wife back in the 1930's ran her household. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

	DOUGLAS, SHOLTO Hydroponics ; Bengal System Oxford University Press, UK, 1959. Third Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Very Good/Near Very Good. Size: 7.5 inches tall by 5 inches. x, 144 pages with an index. ‘Hydroponics – the soilless cultivation of plants provides a possible solution to some of the vital food problems which face the world today. Given the basic desideratum of a minimum supply of water this is a science which can be practised successfully, producing impressive crop yields on roof-tops, in city gardens and back-yards, in village fields and in barren areas where orthodox soil culture has proved unfruitful or uneconomic. The author is the originator of the Bengal system of hydroponics, and this book gives instructions for the setting up of apparatus, the choice of aggregate and formulae, and the general technique of soilless culture. The system has proved highly successful in many areas in India and other countries ; and both the amateur gardener and the large commercial grower will find this book of invaluable assistance in raising crops of rice, vegetables, fruits, and other foodstuffs. It also contains useful information on the growing of flowers without soil. Cultivation' conducted according to the Bengal System of hydroponics can not only give India and the world all the extra food they need but, introduced on a commercial basis, it will provide lucrative employment to thousands.’ Book - in Very Good green boards with black lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme ends of the spine.

	GILMOUR JOHN AND WALTERS MAX Wild Flowers : Botanising In Britain Collins, U.K. 1954. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Very Good/Near Very Good. New Naturalist Series Number 5. xiv, 242 pages with an index. with 45 colour photographs, 27 photographs in black and white and 3 line drawings. 'Enthusiasm is a quality that all true scientists possess, but not all express. Yet without the magic of enthusiasm the natural history movement could never have captured the heads and hearts of the British people-made scientists of amateurs and amateurs of scientists. One of the many agreeable qualities of Wild Flowers is the way in which it retains the freshness and sense of wonder of the beginner. Dr. Gilmour is the botanical editor of this series, and we are fortunate that both he and Mr. Walters, his able and learned colleague at Cambridge, have not forgotten their first excitements, difficulties, mistakes and triumphs. Indeed, the purpose of the book is to supply an introduction to British wild flowers for those who (though keen and interested) may feel in need of guidance. Readers will also find that Wild Flowers succeeds in far more than this, since, with its accent on history, ecology and the communities of plants, it makes a really important contribution to the understanding of our flora, not only by the general naturalist but by those working in other fields of natural history. The writers also lay great stress on the part that amateurs can play in building up the scientific knowledge of our plants. In addition, their account of the history of British field botany is probably the best of its kind yet written and there are numerous and apposite quotations from the poets, a surprising number of whom appear to have also been botanists. Wild Flowers will help many to take a broader and deeper view of what is meant by the subtitle " Botanising in Britain." No longer is botany a remote and mysterious science protected from the intelligent public by a stuffy network of private language.'

	HARVEY JOHN Mediaeval Gardens Batsford, U.K. 1981. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. xvi, 199 pages, size 10 inches tall by 7.5 inches with an index. 'Beginning with the legacy of classical gardening left by the Romans in Britain and Western Europe, and tracing its development to the early Tudor period, John Harvey has written a detailed, well- documented account of gardening in mediaeval times. The book demonstrates with the aid of illustrations that from the eleventh century at least, plants were grown and gardens laid out for their beauty as well as for their usefulness, and that gardening was linked to the planting of orchards and the formation of parks. The idea that before the Italian Renaissance gardening was purely utilitarian is shown to be ill-founded. While the main emphasis of the book is on English gardens, chapters deal with the influence of Southern Europe, notably Spain and Italy, and with the gradual introduction of foreign plants - trees, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Appendices include studies of the English royal gardeners, and of the work of Friar Henry Daniel, the fourteenth-century herbalist whose manuscript provides the first direct account of English gardening. An outstanding feature is the list of over 250 species of plants, showing the dates at which they occur in English and Continental sources; this should prove of particular value to those undertaking the restoration of mediaeval gardens. With over 100 illustrations, many of them strikingly beautiful, taken from manuscripts, paintings, stained-glass windows and other sources, Mediaeval Gardens offers the reader an account of a neglected period in garden history, with unexpected insights into the social history of the time .'

Illustrated with black and white plates and diagrams. INTRODUCTION. Within the last few years, there have been quite a number of books published dealing with the construction and operation of model railways. Almost without exception, these have been exclusively concerned with indoor lines, or, if they have referred to out-of-doors railways at all, the reference has been very brief and has hardly broken the ice on the subject. That garden railways do require specialised treatment when compared with indoor lines is obvious, and I feel that many model enthusiasts have shrunk from building such a line because they have felt that equipment out of doors rapidly deteriorates and they have not been prepared to risk money on its construction without some prior knowledge of what and what not to do to ensure that the line will stand up to the elements. I have now had a gauge " 0 " garden railway in use for more than ten years. It was laid down in a substantial but quite inexpensive manner and has been in position throughout the war with very little maintenance. It is still as sound and efficient as it was when it was built and I hope that the contents of the following pages, which are mainly based on my own experiments, will prow useful to others who are contemplating the construction of a railway in the garden but are chary of starting operations until they know a little more of what they are up against.

	WILLIS PETER [EDITED] Furor Hortensis: Essays on the History of the English Landscape Garden in Memory of H. F. Clark Elysium Press, U.K. 1974. First Edition of 1000 Copies, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Glassine Wrapper Very Good. With An Introduction By Sir Robert H Matthew And Biographical Memoirs Br Patrick Nuttgens And Geoffrey Jellicoe. 107 (8.5 x 11.5 inch) pages + 32 pages of plates/photographs, with list of Subscribers & extensive Index. The Editor's Preface reads - This book of essays is the outcome of the decision of a group of the late H. F. Clark's friends and pupils to express in tangible form their gratitude to him. From the start it was agreed that the essays should concentrate upon the history of the English Landscape Garden, that manifestation of the furor hortensis (or 'horticultural frenzy') which gripped eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England. It was a topic which Mr Clark felt to be significant both for the history of ideas and for the contemporary practice of landscape architecture. His own researches on the subject bore fruit in several papers and in his book The English Landscape Garden of 1948, based on his celebrated article 'Eighteenth-Century Elysiums' which first appeared in the Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes through the auspices of Professor Rudolf Wittkower. There is no doubt that Mr Clark regarded Wittkower as his academic mentor. When it came to photography, Mr. Clark turned to the superbly evocative work of Mr Edwin Smith, and it therefore seemed appropriate that we should include photographs by Mr Smith in any memorial publication.

	ASHMORE A C S [COMPILED BY] Newnes Household Encyclopaedia Newnes, U.K. 1931. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. A Complete Up-To-Date Book Of Cookery And Household Management.

A Handy All-In-One Book Of Household Reference For Everybody. 426 pages, size 7.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. ' This Encyclopaedia is intended as a handy book of reference for the average household, and will be found of inestimable value to every housewife. The compilers, while endeavouring to include all that necessary and useful information which the housewife will require, have yet been limited to the scope of a single volume, so that the reader must bear in mind that only such information has been included as is likely to be required in the management of the average household. Each subject, however, has been dealt with in a manner that will enable the reader to turn with confidence to the work for assistance in any ordinary difficulty or emergency. The alphabetical arrangement of the subject matter will be found particularly simple and attractive, eliminating as it does the necessity for a separate index or the classification of the subjects dealt with under separate sections '.

	DOUGLAS, SHOLTO Hydroponics ; Bengal System Oxford University Press, UK, 1959. Third Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Very Good/Near Very Good. Size: 7.5 inches tall by 5 inches. x, 144 pages with an index. ‘Hydroponics – the soilless cultivation of plants provides a possible solution to some of the vital food problems which face the world today. Given the basic desideratum of a minimum supply of water this is a science which can be practised successfully, producing impressive crop yields on roof-tops, in city gardens and back-yards, in village fields and in barren areas where orthodox soil culture has proved unfruitful or uneconomic. The author is the originator of the Bengal system of hydroponics, and this book gives instructions for the setting up of apparatus, the choice of aggregate and formulae, and the general technique of soilless culture. The system has proved highly successful in many areas in India and other countries ; and both the amateur gardener and the large commercial grower will find this book of invaluable assistance in raising crops of rice, vegetables, fruits, and other foodstuffs. It also contains useful information on the growing of flowers without soil. Cultivation' conducted according to the Bengal System of hydroponics can not only give India and the world all the extra food they need but, introduced on a commercial basis, it will provide lucrative employment to thousands.’ Book - in Very Good green boards with black lettering - just a touch bumped to the extreme ends of the spine.

	GILMOUR JOHN AND WALTERS MAX Wild Flowers : Botanising In Britain Collins, U.K. 1954. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Very Good/Near Very Good. New Naturalist Series Number 5. xiv, 242 pages with an index. with 45 colour photographs, 27 photographs in black and white and 3 line drawings. 'Enthusiasm is a quality that all true scientists possess, but not all express. Yet without the magic of enthusiasm the natural history movement could never have captured the heads and hearts of the British people-made scientists of amateurs and amateurs of scientists. One of the many agreeable qualities of Wild Flowers is the way in which it retains the freshness and sense of wonder of the beginner. Dr. Gilmour is the botanical editor of this series, and we are fortunate that both he and Mr. Walters, his able and learned colleague at Cambridge, have not forgotten their first excitements, difficulties, mistakes and triumphs. Indeed, the purpose of the book is to supply an introduction to British wild flowers for those who (though keen and interested) may feel in need of guidance. Readers will also find that Wild Flowers succeeds in far more than this, since, with its accent on history, ecology and the communities of plants, it makes a really important contribution to the understanding of our flora, not only by the general naturalist but by those working in other fields of natural history. The writers also lay great stress on the part that amateurs can play in building up the scientific knowledge of our plants. In addition, their account of the history of British field botany is probably the best of its kind yet written and there are numerous and apposite quotations from the poets, a surprising number of whom appear to have also been botanists. Wild Flowers will help many to take a broader and deeper view of what is meant by the subtitle " Botanising in Britain." No longer is botany a remote and mysterious science protected from the intelligent public by a stuffy network of private language.'

	HARVEY JOHN Mediaeval Gardens Batsford, U.K. 1981. First Edition, Hard Cover. Fine/Near Fine. xvi, 199 pages, size 10 inches tall by 7.5 inches with an index. 'Beginning with the legacy of classical gardening left by the Romans in Britain and Western Europe, and tracing its development to the early Tudor period, John Harvey has written a detailed, well- documented account of gardening in mediaeval times. The book demonstrates with the aid of illustrations that from the eleventh century at least, plants were grown and gardens laid out for their beauty as well as for their usefulness, and that gardening was linked to the planting of orchards and the formation of parks. The idea that before the Italian Renaissance gardening was purely utilitarian is shown to be ill-founded. While the main emphasis of the book is on English gardens, chapters deal with the influence of Southern Europe, notably Spain and Italy, and with the gradual introduction of foreign plants - trees, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Appendices include studies of the English royal gardeners, and of the work of Friar Henry Daniel, the fourteenth-century herbalist whose manuscript provides the first direct account of English gardening. An outstanding feature is the list of over 250 species of plants, showing the dates at which they occur in English and Continental sources; this should prove of particular value to those undertaking the restoration of mediaeval gardens. With over 100 illustrations, many of them strikingly beautiful, taken from manuscripts, paintings, stained-glass windows and other sources, Mediaeval Gardens offers the reader an account of a neglected period in garden history, with unexpected insights into the social history of the time .'

Illustrated with black and white plates and diagrams. INTRODUCTION. Within the last few years, there have been quite a number of books published dealing with the construction and operation of model railways. Almost without exception, these have been exclusively concerned with indoor lines, or, if they have referred to out-of-doors railways at all, the reference has been very brief and has hardly broken the ice on the subject. That garden railways do require specialised treatment when compared with indoor lines is obvious, and I feel that many model enthusiasts have shrunk from building such a line because they have felt that equipment out of doors rapidly deteriorates and they have not been prepared to risk money on its construction without some prior knowledge of what and what not to do to ensure that the line will stand up to the elements. I have now had a gauge " 0 " garden railway in use for more than ten years. It was laid down in a substantial but quite inexpensive manner and has been in position throughout the war with very little maintenance. It is still as sound and efficient as it was when it was built and I hope that the contents of the following pages, which are mainly based on my own experiments, will prow useful to others who are contemplating the construction of a railway in the garden but are chary of starting operations until they know a little more of what they are up against.
