Eleven hundred vegetables, each described, cultured, and put to use. Fearing Burr's monumental catalog is the great nineteenth-century encyclopedia of American garden crops, from common beans to varieties long since lost. Directions for growing every one. An indispensable reference for the historian, the seed-saver, and the gardener who wants the whole story. The vegetable kingdom, mapped.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
