COLOR PLATE NURSERYMAN'S SAMPLE BOOK.      (Rochester; no date, ca   1910).          An untitled nursery salesman's sample book with over 125 color plates illustrating a broad variety of fruits. This copy is compiled from plates mostly published between 1890 and 1910, the majority of which were printed by Vredenburg & Co. of Rochester, although plates printed by United Litho and Printing Company are also present. As usual, the quality of the plates varies widely, but many of the early Vredenburg chromolithographs are vibrantly colorful and especially good examples of the Rochester color printing of this period.   8vo (23 x 15 cm); 164 leaves (some blank, as issued).            Original plain paper covers with cloth spine; an unusually clean and well-preserved copy. $400.00
