About this book
The volume includes numerous illustrations from photographs and reproductions of old wood cuts. The account describes Ralph Tuggie, or Tuggy, as keeping a fine show garden at Westminster, where he specialized in carnations and gilliflowers. The discussion says some wealthy London merchants and noblemen kept agents traveling to search for rare bulbs and plants, while explorers in the New World brought home new plants and flowers.
The account describes John Tradescant's own garden in South Lambeth, where he introduced acacia and lilac and, if Parkinson is to be believed, pomegranate. The discussion gives old flower names such as Sops-in-Wine, Frantic Foolish Cowslip and Love in Idleness.
