hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

From the essay by John Wood: "There is a long tradition of flower painters, and from the beginning of photography there have been photographers of vegetables and flowers, but no other artist has ever looked at either quite the way DeCosse does or arranged them with such baroque flamboyance. DeCosse is a master at making some frozen moment ambered in photography's fixing gaze seem to be alive and vital with movement. Even his single, simple Onion is balletic in the grace of its gestures. Has anyone ever seen so elegant a piece of dried onion skin! The very idea of such an onion surprises us with the freshness of DeCosse's eye and approach. Or look at his Onion Flowers bending and undulating like dancers. His Radicchio Trevisano seems to be completing a gesture-just as a dancer might with her arms gracefully curved in front of her, one twisting over the other; the Fritillaria bends into a bow; his Sweet Peas are popping open; Fireworks are going off; the Rose Bouquet looks like an exploding star; and those masterpieces, the Queen of the Night and the King of the Night have burst not just into bloom but into booming, wondrous activity."

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 2nd Edition. 2nd ed., 2nd printing ; xii, 435 p. illus., map (on lining paper) plates (part col.) 26 cm. ; OCLC 1401770978 ; "An American Horticultural Society book."; orange cloth in photographic dustjacket ; owner presentation on half title ; "Under a "grand-fathering" clause, the names of J. B. Stevenson's Kurume introductions that were considered to have been available "in the trade" were registered in 1958 by the then International Registration Authority/Royal Horticultural Society (IRA/RHS) and were included in The International Rhododendron Register published in that year by the RHS. Whilst doubts have been expressed about the correctness of the spellings and transliteration of some plant names, what really matters is that the IRA/ RHS had the foresight to "put a stick in the sand" and record the names and details of what plants were thought to have been commercially available at a particular point in time. J. B. Stevenson and James Russell both supplied information at the time the 1958 edition was compiled, and the content of the IRA/ RHS records suggest they were based on this information, which, presumably, the RHS archived for future reference. Minor revisions were made to the names in the registration process where they did not accord with the expected format and spelling of Japanese epithets.(1) Frederic P. Lee in The Azalea Book, Second Edition, makes passing mention of Stevenson, but only names 28 of his introductions.(2) Irrespective of problems with the transliteration of Japanese names, Lee's flower details correctly replicate the details for Stevenson's introductions in Britain."--John M.
