Klappentext First published in 1842, this monograph explores the period's most significant advances in the care and transportation of plants. Zusammenfassung In this 1842 monograph, botanist Nathaniel Bagshaw Ward (1791–1868) makes a simple observation: light is among the most important factors in plant growth. To improve the health of plants at home and at sea, he recommends the use of a glass case - a recommendation that soon revolutionised botany. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
