The founder, publisher
and part-editor of this lavish Belgian periodical was Louis van Houtte,
the propietor of the largest nursery of its time on the continent. It
appeared monthly for almost 40 years and was published by his own printing
office in the middle of the gardens, the Horto van Houtteano. All the
plants shown were for sale in his nursery and include many exotics. The
work is notable for the craftmanship of the Belgian lithographers
Severeyns, Stroobant and De Pannemaker, who had mastered the art of
colour-printing from stone.
