III-XVI), 1834-1849. 16 volumes, 8 (230mm x 165mm.), 721 hand-coloured engraved and lithographed plates, including 26 folding, by F.W. Smith and S.and J. Holden, one plain engraved plate of the "Emperor Fountain" at Chatsworth in volume XI, some wood-engraved illustrations for gardens, cottages and ornaments (some plates with minor spotting mainly in the margins), contemporary green half calf (worn).
FIRST EDITION of this long-running botanical periodical. Stafleu and Cowan 7554 notes that "the copies do not always have all the plates: we are not certain that 723 is the exact number of plates issued." For this reason, this set, as usual, is sold as a periodical not subject to return. (16)
