A Shaker Gardener's Manual Containing Plain Instructions For The Selection , Preparation, And Management Of A Kitchen Garden, With Practical Directions For The Cultivation And Management Of Some Of The Most Useful Culinary Vegetables. First published in 1836 and later expanded upon in 1843, it was intended to be given out by dealers in Shaker  garden seed at a "trifling expense". Our delightful new hardcover facsimile edition, published in collaboration with Applewood Books, is reasonably, if not triflingly, priced at $12.95!
