This anonymous work was probably compiled by the publishing entrepreneur Samuel Orchart Beeton (1831-77). Published in 1871, it provides a fascinating insight into the plants available to the Victorian gardener, the techniques for cultivating flowers, fruit and vegetables, and the then current trends in design and display.
