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. |
