Antique 1916 The Garden Bluebook Perennial Manual Leicester Holland Color Chart:
$150.00
The Garden Bluebook: A Manual of the Perennial Garden by Leicester Bodine Holland, published by Doubleday, Page & Company in 1916 (copyright 1915). This antique gardening guide features a blue cloth hardcover with a decorative border and a central illustration of a stately brick home and garden. A unique highlight is the large, fold-out color chart stored in the back cover pocket, which maps out Latin names, common names, and periods of bloom for various perennials. The interior includes detailed botanical descriptions and black-and-white illustrations. The binding shows wear at the spine and corners, and there is some age-related toning and foxing to the pages, consistent with a century-old reference book.
