Synopsis

Planting And Rural Ornament. This late 18th- to early 19th-century horticultural reference catalogs ornamental trees and shrubs for English gardens, detailing morphology, native ranges, flowering and fruiting traits, and practical cultivation guidance. Entries are organized by genus and cover growth habit, typical height, leaves, bark, flowers, and fruit, with notes on winter appearance and ornamental value. The work emphasizes native regions and climate suitability and is rich in propagation methods—seeds, layering, cuttings, grafting, and related techniques—together with timing, soil and site preferences, frost protection, nursery handling, spacing, and management of suckers. It features a formal Classical Arrangement for landscape planning and an Appendix translating common English names to botanical names. Aimed at British gardeners, nurserymen, and estate managers, the text blends Linnaean taxonomy with practical cultivation practice for a wide range of ornamentals.
