From Publisher:

Cleveland, Ohio is a city of great cultural and educational resources. The collection of rare herbal, botanical, and horticultural books in Cleveland comprise an especially rich treasure from the past. in their pages lie a golden trove of pictures and words that unlock a story of discovery. Some tell the story of botanizing in foreign lands; others of using plants for medicine, of designing beautiful landscapes, and of creating portraits of flowers. The books were originally brought together for different reasons. Some were part of the working libraries of scientists and physicians. Others were assembled by dedicated and passionate collectors. In time, the collection became part of the libraries of the Holden Arboretum, the Cleveland Botanical Garden, and the Cleveland Medical Library Association. Today, Cleveland is home to an impressive array -- one of the finest in the nation -- of rare herbals and early botanical works. We invite you to sample them and learn their story.
