Simmers' annual autumn catalogue of bulbs, plants, seeds, etc
This is a 1913 seed and bulb trade catalogue issued by J.A. Simmers Limited of Toronto, offering bulbs, plants and seeds to Canadian gardeners and dealers. The pictures are plain black-and-white engravings of flowers and vegetables: crocus-like blooms, carrots and cabbages, trumpet lilies and double tulips, drawn with dense hatching that gives each form its volume and shadow, a useful model for botanical line work with strong tonal modelling.
