Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 3rd Edition. Small 4to. 402pp + (10)pp adverts. With hand-coloured engraved frontispiece, title-page, and 7 colour plates from drawings by H. Briscoe, numerous wood-engravings in text (many full-page), some signed, by F. Lydon, Justyrre or E. Whymper, each text page framed by border design of slender branches. Publisher's decorative pictorial gilt cloth, all edges gilt; lightly worn at edges. The third, greatly enlarged, edition of this encyclopaedic volume often seen as the epitome of books on the Victorian town garden. Contents cover the indoor garden, aquarium, fern case, balcony and window garden, floral ornaments, the miniature hothouse, and aviary for exotic birds. For outdoors, Hibberd gives details of design and layout for the conservatory, apiary, pleasure and flower garden, the rockery and wilderness, garden ornaments and constructions (the summer-house as temple, Moorish pavilion, thatched cottage or creeper-covered bower). Shirley James Hibberd (1825-90) was one of the most energetic and prolific of Victorian gardening writers with a broad range of interests; he was a vegetarian, and passionate grower of flowers, fruit and vegetables, so much so that he was continually moving further out of London in order to have space to research and experiment; he is also considered one of the most acutely observant social historians of his time. His books stand out particularly for the excellence of their production (possibly because he was apprenticed to a bookseller in his youth), the present volume with his publication, The Ivy , being the finest. This edition contains splendid illustrations of Hibberd's own fern house at Stoke Newington (p217), his mixed border with bulbs and evergreens illustrating the plunging system and the huge geranium pyramid in the flower garden. An exceptionally attractive as well as informative work. Nissen 876.
