I had all my life been a theoretical rose-lover, but this labor of love for the rose impelled me to make my relationship practical. This increasingly pleasant rose contact has reached into every state and province of the United States and Canada, as well as across both oceans to all of Europe, to the Philippines, Japan and CHina, to Australia, Ceylon and New Zealand. It has made possible the assembling annually of a record of American rose progress, with side-lights from all the world.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 208, xx, [1] ; illustrated, 4 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. His wide-ranging achievements made a lasting impact on printing processes, horticulture, and environmental protection. During McFarland's early years, his father operated a nursery and a small weekly newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. McFarland worked in both of his father's businesses as a youth. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. [A unique, lovely, hand-painted book in a fine binding.] 28.5 x 25 cm. [No date, circa 1870-1880.] Bound in fine contemporary red morocco, with gilt lettering and decoration. Boards are heavily gilt ruled, with extra-gilt dentelle. Marbled end sheets. All edges gilt. Manuscript, calligraphic text of Aldrich's poem with hand-painted illustrations. "Painted by Mrs. John H. Van Antwerp, Albany New York." Calligraphic title and 25 botanical plates (many with the names of the flowers on the verso in Martha's hand), with tissue guards. Many of the plates also include lovely images of butterflies, moths, or various insects. Drawn on Reynolds' Bristol Board. The artist has matched the variety of flower with Aldrich's verse. (The artist, Martha Wiswall Van Antwerp died August 30, 1880, and drew this work on Reynolds' Bristolboard; and thus this work must have been created some time in the 1870s. Van Antwerp has signed the book in calligraphic initials on the title page and a small bookplate in the rear assigns this work to her.) Text of Aldrich's poem: "I like not lady-slippers, Nor yet the sweet-pea blossoms, Nor yet the flaky roses, Red, or white as snow; I like the chaliced lilies, The heavy Eastern lilies, The gorgeous tiger-lilies, That in our garden grow." This volume was bound by Martha Van Antwerp's brother-in-law, Daniel Lewis Van Antwerp [1828-1910], who began binding in Albany under his name in 1852, having previously worked for Anthony L. Harrison, whose business he assumed. [Binding Provenance provided to us by Mr. Steve Beare].
