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 · Theaceae |
