First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. "Plant Diseases" is a "very good" 1953 hardcover of 940 pp. with no jacket, followed by 30 pp. of color plates to help identify various plant diseases and infestations, covering nematodes, fungi, diseases of grasses and legumes, cotton, food and feed grains, vegetable and sugar crops, tobacco, fruits and nuts, flax, coffee, "Crown Gal, -- a Malignant Growth," "Oak Wilt, a New Threat", and some diseases and infestations of ornamentals. OUR SECOND OFFERING, "Plant Physiology," a 1947 eighth printing of a book originally published 1939, is a "good" jacketless hardcover of 696 pp. including Index, corners of the boards worn through from use, illustrated -- somewhat sparsely -- with B&W graphs and drawings. Two books on related topics combined into a lot to consolidate shipping, though -- as the two books combined weigh 6 lbs. (2.7 kilos) -- shipping "Priority" or outside the United States is still likely to prove costly. The pair now reduced from $17.
