Tropica by A.B. Graf is a lush first-edition reference that brings rare tropical and subtropical plants into sharp, colorful focus for gardeners, designers, and nature lovers. Every page pairs authoritative botanic notes with striking full-page illustrations, making identification and inspiration effortless.

This hefty hardcover, issued by Roehrs in its original 1960 run, doubles as a coffee-table showpiece and a reliable guide for humid-zone horticulture. First-edition collectors prize Tropica for its comprehensive scope and the vibrant accuracy of Graf’s painted plates.

The exterior shows honest shelf wear and the first few leaves carry the mellow spotting typical of older paper, yet the binding remains tight and the colors inside stay vivid. Light occasional foxing elsewhere does not obscure text or images, preserving the book’s practical value for daily garden consultation.

An essential addition to any gardening, botany, or illustrated-reference shelf, this used copy offers vintage charm alongside enduring plant wisdom—perfect for the eco-curious reader who appreciates character in both books and blooms.
