The Abridgement of the Gardener's Dictionary

Britain's most eminent horticulturalist in the eighteenth century, Philip Miller (1691-1771) was appointed head gardener of the Chelsea Physic Garden by the Society of Apothecaries in 1722. Reissued here is the 1771 sixth edition of the abridged version of his most successful work, ranging widely from agriculture to winemaking.
