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 · Cannaceae |
