Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 232, xxv pp. ; illustrated, 19 photographic plates, 3 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

Buckram. Zustand: Fair. German text, Volume I: xii, 210 pp., [1], frontispiece portrait, 5 wood engravings / Volume II: vii, 222 pp., 6 wood engravings, 1 folding map at rear, foxing throughout, translated from English by Johann Sporschil. The significance of Fraser's journey to Khorasan is to be found in its effect upon British policy and strategy in the Middle East. Fraser, like Burnes and Conolly, should be remembered not only as a traveller but also for his contribution to the Great Game in Asia. (Edward Ingram). In 1829 the Great Game in Asia began when the Persians were defeated by the Russians and had to sign a treaty that threatened Persian independence. For those interested in this explosive area this book by Fraser and his "Travels and Adventures in the Persian Provinces of the Southern Banks of the Caspian Sea" were the most recent descriptions of Persia and were read avidly by Lord Ellenborough, President of the Board of Control for India and a man eager to stop Russian expansion that would endanger the Indian Empire. #32449.…
