A History of the Vegetable Kingdom by William Rhind was published in London by Blackie & Son, c1860.  The very talented Walter Hood Fitch, considered by many to be the greatest botanical artist of his time, supplied most of the illustrations for this work. These wonderful hand colored engravings depict a wide variety of plants including palms, ferns, trees, cactus, vegetables, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and many lovely flowers.
