The very first issue of America's pioneering journal of horticulture and forestry opens with a tribute to botanist Asa Gray. Its pages range from the forests of the White Mountains to a definition of landscape gardening and the latest in floriculture. A snapshot of American plant science and garden design in 1888. For the reader who loves the roots of horticultural writing.

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.
