‎HOW TO GROW ROSES.‎

‎192p. + color Frontis. Illustrated with numerous full page color photographs, some in black and white. Numerous text drawings. ** J. Horace McFarland Company's copy with numerous penciled notations and text changes for the 1968 edition. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, decorated and lettered in black. This copy was used in the printing office of J. Horace McFarland (1859-1948). McFarland was one of the first Americans to sound the call for environmental and scenic protection. In 1878, at age nineteen, McFarland opened his printing business and began to publish gardening and seed catalogs. Realizing that woodcuts did not adequately represent the plants, he started to explore the use of photography. By 1894, he was experimenting with color photography and his company had become America's premier publisher of gardening catalogs, with what may have been the first color photographs produced in the US. The success of his publishing business provided McFarland with wealth and security, and freed him to engage extensively in the philanthropy and civic activism he loved. He was recognized as a master gardener whose books and photographs on roses, trees and other subjects were famous across the United States. He wrote more than a dozen books on roses and made the American Rose Society a world-renowned institution. As president, he established a method of rose identification and registration that is still in use today. He was widely known as "Mr. Rose" and was a founder and president of the American Rose Society, which had an international impact on the propagation of roses. His home and garden in the Bellevue Park section of Harrisburg was an internationally famous testing ground for hundreds of new plant species. It contained 5,000 plants including varieties of roses. Hardbound. Nice copy. Unique copy of showing numerous changes. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PLANTS W135‎

‎McKenney Thomas Lorraine 1785 1859‎

‎Sketches of a Tour to the Lakes of the Character and Customs of the Chippeway Indians. And of incidents connected with the Treaty of Fond du Lac. Also a Vocabulary of the Algic or Chippeway Language‎

‎viii-9-4931 pages with 6 of 29 plates three appendices: Copy of the Journal of the Proceedings under the treaty of Fond Du Lac as noted by the Secretary TREATY Between the United States of American and the Chippeway tribe of Indians; concluded August 5 1826 and Vocabulary of the Algic or Chippeway Language. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" bound in original blind stamped cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Hpwes: M132 Sabin 43407 Field 994 Pilling: 2383 First edition.<br /><br />Thomas McKenney started as a merchant. In 1815 he ran a commission store near the ferry wharf in Georgetown. He was also on the board of directors of the Bank of Columbia in Georgetown with John Cox John Threlkeld and Henry Foxall. In 1816 McKenney secured a Federal appointment as Superintendent of Indian Trade. In those days delegations of Indians that came to Washington generally stayed in hotel rooms; the beds had been removed to accommodate their preference for sleeping on the ground. Some of these representatives of southern and western tribes also visited Weston McKenney's farm on Georgetown Heights. In 1820 Sans Nerf a chief of the Great Osages and two companions were there. In the winter of 1821-22 a delegation of Pawnee Sauk Fox Menominee Miami Sioux and Chippewa Indians came to the farm and in 1824 Cherokee chief Elijah Hicks was there. The Factory System of government trading posts involved commodities as coffee sugar lead salt penknives northwest blankets calico and strouding coarse woolen cloth used in the Indian trade. What came back were furs. The Factory System ended in 1822 over opposition by the John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company and by manufacturers and merchants who resented McKenney and the Georgetown merchants he favored. One such merchant was John Cox importer and banker and later mayor of Georgetown. Cox loaned money to McKenney to buy Weston and McKenney bought from Cox for the Indian trade nearly to the exclusion of other merchants. From 1824 to 1830 McKenney served as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. While his upbringing as a merchant had no doubt prepared him for the earlier position supervising the Indian Trade his qualifications to be an architect of Indian policy are harder to picture. McKenney's transactions with the "civilized" southern tribes had at one time persuaded him that Indians might be able to adopt white values and McKenney made several experiments along these lines of his own albeit at government expense. In 1818 James Lawrence MacDonald son of a Choctaw woman and a white man raised by Baltimore Quakers came to Weston McKenney's farm on Georgetown Heights and worked for him at the War Department. In 1827 McKenney brought two Creek boys back to Washington to be educated. One was William Barnard son of Major Timpoochee Barnard an ally of Andrew Jackson in the Creek War. A boy named Lee Compere was William Barnard's companion. The boys remained with McKenney for three years. Finally in 1828 Dougherty Colbert age 15 the son of a Chickasaw chief came to live at Weston to attend school in Georgetown. Colbert was praised by McKenney for losing the Chickasaw language! Although these views would seem to conform to those generally ascribed to Andrew Jackson in 1830 McKenney was dismissed for not being in harmony with the Indian policy of the Jackson administration. At the same time President Jackson ordered the War Department to remove McKenney's Indian boys from school and return them to their people. The present volume describes the author's expedition to the Chippewa Winnegago and Menominee tribes and the signing of the treaty of Fond du Lac in 1827.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Six of 29 plates lacks all the colored plates and the frontispiece.
