1938 book The World was my Garden -travels of a plant explorer -FAIRCHILD HB +DJ

Description: This is The World Was My Garden - Travels of a Plant Explorer by David Fairchild, published in 1938 by Charles Scribner's Sons. Hardcover with dust jacket, 494 pages, original edition. Many black-and-white photos. "As a horticulturalist I found this book sheer joy and I couldn't put it down. It is very well written and follows the adventures of David Fairchild as he works traveling around the world to obtain new plant introductions for the US in the 1890's thru the 1930's. If you are a serious 'plant-nerd' you will love this book ... " "The many period pictures are excellent. Fairchild's travels and his plant discoveries/introductions are incredible. His entire life story is a real botanical trip. This 481 page memoir definately deserves to be re-published. If you are a "plant person" & interested in the history of how many of our presently taken -for- granted plants arrived in the U.S. this book is a must read treasure..." Please see photos for more on contents and condition. Dust jacket is a bit rough with wear and some loss at the edges. Jacket is price-clipped and is now protected in mylar. Boards and pages are clean, starting to tone, with tight binding.Thanks for looking !r192-AE
