James Forbes crossed Germany, Belgium, and part of France to see how the great gardens grew, and came home cataloguing cacti by the hundred. His tour notes the globose and polyacanthous kinds, the collections and the growers, with an appendix a plantsman could work from. A traveling gardener's field diary. Ride along on a nineteenth-century plant hunt.

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.
