About This Item
Canberra: Mulini Press, 1998. New, reprint ed.. Paperback trade, very good condition, card covers, stapled pamphlet, pictorial cover, black & white drawings, staples little rusted. 16 pp. This booklet was published originally by George Howe in his 'New South Pocket Almanack and Colonial Remembrancer' in 1806. The writer of this first Australian gardening guide was not recorded. The guide deals with the planting of vegetables, with some reference to fruit trees. The seasons are set out as they were then. Mulini Press (Victor Crittenden) has reprinted this booklet as an historic document from which the gardening literature of Australia descends. (No 3 in the series 'Foundation of the Australian Garden History Society Commemoration'.).
