Synopsis
Excerpt from How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man, Vol. 7
The clergyman in question was the Honorable and Reverend Dr. William Herbert, Dean of Manchester. His work was carried out in the early decades of the nineteenth century. He was a horticulturist of great skill, and he labored assiduously with many plants. And among those with which he attained conspicuous and striking results that seemed to belie the botanical beliefs of the period, was the plant now familiar in every garden as the gladiolus.
