Author Switzer, Stephen, 1682?-1745.

Title A compendious method for the raising of the Italian brocoli, Spanish cardoon, celeriac, finochi, and other foreign kitchen-vegetables [microform] : as also an account of the La Lucerne, St. Foyne, clover, and other grass-seeds ; with the method of burning clay, for the improvement of land, made very perfect and compleat from the last summer's experience ... ; to which is added, a farther account of the burning of clay, lately communicated to the author by a person of worth and honour of North-Britain, who has greatly experienced the same ; by which it appears, that burnt clay is not only the cheapest but the best discovery for the improvement of land (especially that which is cold and poor) ever yet produced / by Stephen Switzer, author of The practical fruit and kitchen-gardener.

Imprint London : Printed for Thomas Astley, 1729.
