All gardeners owe an infinite debt of gratitude to William
Robinson - founder of The Garden (1871-1927) and Flora and Sylva
(1903-05), and author of The English Flower Garden (1883, etc.) and other
works - who helped to break the tyranny of formal bedding and, like Ruskin, drew
attention to the beauties of the wild garden. … (Blunt & Stearn). The beautiful
colour-plates of The Garden, a popular horticultural publication, were
lithographed and printed by the Belgian firm G. Severeyns and its successor J.L.
Goffart, notable for their craftmanship.* Blunt & Stearn pp. 239-240; Nissen BBI 2264; B-P-H 391-10. www.meemelink.com · index · Convolvulaceae |
