Blanche Henrey 1000. RARE - a good wide-margined copy. [Second edition of the work which brought MacPhail's forcing frame and controversial method of cultivation to the public view. McPhail was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place in Surrey. The brick frame was of his own design, and a notable feature of this book is the detailed weather observations covering a complete year, together with the precise treatment given to the plants on each day. The frame proved immensely popular, and within 40 years Rogers (1839) was to state " an excellent invention that has certainly rendered the forcing of this vegetable more simple.there are few gentleman's gardens and few principal market gardens without them". ].
