About This Book
A horticultural travel journal records visits to prominent nurseries and royal gardens across Germany, Belgium, and France, offering practical descriptions of plant collections, greenhouse and hothouse designs, and propagation practices. It compares continental methods with those used in England, highlights extensive succulent and cactus collections, and discusses palms, orchids, and nursery layout. Day-by-day entries mix travel observations with technical notes, while an appended catalogue lists the cactus species cultivated at Woburn Abbey. Practical recommendations for gardeners and remarks on landscape ornaments, architecture, and exchange of plants conclude the account.
