[AGRICULTURE] THE SOUTHERN PLANTER AND FARMER DEVOTED TO AGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURE, AND RURAL AFFAIRS [12 ISSUES, 1878]

L. R. Dickinson (Editor and Proprietor)

Richmond, VA: 1878.

12 octavo issues in wrappers; there is some chipping and loss to the spines, but the issues are complete.~~One of the more important agricultural magazines in the South, The Southern Planter was begun in 1841 and ran until 1867 until it merged with The Farmer. With many pages of farming advertisements --mowers, pigs, guano, and the like. Single issues are uncommon -- to get an entire year’s run in the original wrappers is especially nice. A revealing picture of agrarian life in the South at the end of the Reconstruction period. With frontispiece portraits. (Haynes S17367).
