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 · Rosaceae |
