Leaves from Gerard's Herball - Marcus Woodward

This is a revised edition of John Gerrard’s 1597 horticultural handbook, “Gerard's Herball”. This edition has been rearranged so that the plants form a garden calendar, with each one grouped according to its flowering seasons. This extensive and profusely illustrated book will appeal to modern gardeners and horticulturalists alike, and is not to be missed by collectors of classic literature of this ilk. Contents Include: “The Herbal”, “The Seasons of the Year”, “Notes and Tables”, “Sundry Virtues”, “Alphabetical Table of Plants”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on growing plants.
