FAVOURITE FLOWERS OF GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE
By
Edward Step
1896-1897
A scarce chromolithographic antique print
HARLEQUIN MONKEY FLOWER
Without exception the whole of the three hundred and sixteen plates illustrating this work have been drawn and coloured direct from nature; and we think we may justly claim for the artists engaged that they have succeeded admirably in giving not merely shape and colour, but expression also- the characteristic pose of each plant.
It is only necessary to add a few words to the responsibility to be attached to those to whose literary care this work has been intrusted. The original scheme was suggested by Mr. D. Bois’ Atlas des Plantes de Jardins, but the plan has been considerably amplified, to make it useful to English readers. Mr. E. Step has provided the text, including the lists of varieties and also the cultural directions; the latter have, however, been revised by Mr. W. Watson, assistant curator of the Royal Gardens, Kew.
