Subject: [CHAT] Cmas present


Bought myself a present this year, which just arrived. It's Philip Miller's "The Gardeners Kalendar; Directing what Works are necessary to be done every month in the Kitchen, Fruit, and Pleasure-Gardens, as also in the Conservatory and Nursery." 11th edition; 1757. It's a bit worse for wear but quite legible. Calfskin binding and good rag paper. Altogether, it's in pretty good shape for being 250 years old.
