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.
