Default FA 1890s Victorian Gardening Equipment rustic Catalogue

The Gardeners and Poultry Keepers catalogue Illustrated,Goods
Manufactured & Supplied by William Cooper Old Kent
Road,London,undated,but I would guess at 1890s or earlier.some wear to
extremities,yellowing to pages,otherwise a good solid copy. 638
pages.
This really is a splendid catalogue with a good deal of advice on what
were ,at the time modern gardening methods.Packed with pictures/
description/some plans of mostly gardening and estate equipment with a
small amount of other products,chicken keeping
equipment,lights,billiard room goods etc. Lots of old garden buildings/
Rustic ware/sheds/conservatories/greenhouses/deck chairs/hammocks/
benches/ garden umbrellas /barrows trugs/pavillions etc. A real gem
for the garden designer or collector.
