Field and Garden Vegetables of America: Containing Full Descriptions of Nearly Eleven Hundred Species and Varieties; With Directions for Propagation, Culture, and Use (Applewood Books)

""Fearing Burr Jr.'s 1865 book is designed to help gardeners choose what varieties they wish to plant, rather than being a guide to cultivation. The work provides descriptions of a vast variety of vegetables grown in the United States, with reference to their size, form, color, quality, productiveness, season, and hardiness.""
