About this title

Synopsis

Paxton's Magazine Of Botany, And Register Of Flowering Plants by Sir Joseph Paxton is a nineteenth-century horticultural periodical that presents illustrated plates, botanical articles, and practical guidance for gardeners and plant collectors. This volume, the thirteenth, issued in London in 1846, combines descriptive plates (such as Hibiscus Jerroldianus, Erica Cavendishiana, Lelia Perrinii, Platyclodon Grandiflorum, and others) with English and Latin indices and extensive essays on cultivation, forcing, epiphytal growth, and landscape design. Throughout its pages it blends scientific observation with hands-on instruction, covering topics from heating systems for forcing houses, massing China roses for beds, pruning and training trees and shrubs, to the propagation of ornamental plants, the care of orchids, and the management of winter preservation. It also includes Floricultural Notices (descriptions of new or notable plants), guides to greenhouse and open-ground culture, and discussions on the congruity of landscape design. A practical reference for horticulturists of the era and a valuable historical record of Victorian plant culture.
