- catalog abstract ""Reproducing a rare 1827 plant and seed catalogue, possibly the earliest existing catalogue of its kind in Canada, Early Canadian Gardening presents an extensive range of garden plants - trees, shrubs, fruits, and flowers - that were grown for food, medicines, and dyes as well as for beauty. Eileen Woodhead provides a detailed description and brief history of the cultivation and use of each plant in the catalogue. Most of the descriptions are accompanied by elegant line-drawings by the author, who found and grew many of the original plants." "The book provides a valuable account of the business of horticulture in the first decades of the nineteenth century - the practices of importers, merchants, farmers, and households - sites and botanical gardens in Ontario, as well as sources for heritage seeds." "Early Canadian Gardening will be invaluable to horticulturists and botanists, historians, and garden enthusiasts with an interest in heritage plants."--BOOK JACKET.".
