Treatise on the Culture of Lucerne.

• imprint_number: 1800.040
• title: A treatise on the culture of Lucerne.
• sequence_number: 40
• year: 1800
• place_issued: Richmond
• issuing_press: Thomas Nicolson
• author: Ambler, Jaquelin (1742-98).
• notes: Lucerne is an alternate name for Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), now archaic.
  Ambler's main text carries a caption title of "Notes on the culture of lucerne in and about Richmond' [p. 3-8]; and is followed by "Observations on Mr. Ambler’s notes on the culture of lucerne" [p. 7-9] signed: "R. Parker."
  Imprint lacks publication date; only known copy is held by the Library of Congress; that copy was part of a bound collection of 15 agricultural pamphlets owned by Thomas Jefferson, now disbound; from the marginalia in that collection and information in Jefferson's papers there, the Library assigned a date of 1800 to this title, so the report here as well.
  Title was not filmed by Early American Imprints Series because of the only copy's fragility.
