Sweet peas, a long-time garden favorite, are the star of this antique gardening book. The slender volume has a decorative cover with a beautiful lithograph print of sweet peas. The cover is so pretty, you'll want to put it on display.
Written by H.H. Thomas (Harry Higgot Thomas), the legendary British gardener, prolific author, and editor of the prestigious publication, The Gardener, The Sweet Pea and How to Grow Them is one of his harder-to-find titles.
The book is in very condition. The cover is bright with some scuffing and evidence of wear around the edges. Pages are clean. The small book is illustrated with line drawings and photographs and has garden-related advertising on the endpapers. Overall, this is a lovely copy of a scarce title.
