Notes: Bookseller's note: Interesting offering from a major firm, most listings with brief descriptions. Charles Hovey's nursery was on 35 acres located 2 miles west of Harvard Square. His catalogue introduction gives a schedule of seasonal displays there, inside and out. An attractive copy; loosely laid in are a slip offering the latest volume of Hovey's Magazine of Horticulture, and a portion of a prospectus for the first volume of his notable color plate work, The Fruits of America."
