About This Item
B. T. Batsford, 1975. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. In very good condition with VG DJ. With the help of extensive lists of plants culled from contemporary magazines and nurserymen's catalogues, and making use of the published work of the great collectors and hybridists, Richard Gorer has written here the first detailed analysis of the horticultural development of the flower garden in England. In a style as elegant as it is precise, and with the help of generous illustrations, he starts by discussing the influx of exotics in Elizabethan and Jacobean gardens. Then, after considering the planting styles of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, he goes on to write of what he calls the 'floral explosion'. This is the prelude to three chapters on the nineteenth century and three on the twentieth the great periods of the English flower garden. Using his scholarship in an easy and graceful manner, Richard Gorer has produced a work which will be of consuming interest to all serious flower gardeners. Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, Richard Gorer has already written seven horticultural books, including works on trees, shrubs, climbing and house plants, as well as on flowers.
