Publisher's Note
Industry Reviews The first edition (1977) is cited in Sheehy . An essential reference for anyone seeking information about the lives and achievements of botanists and gardeners in the British Isles and Ireland since medieval times. This revised and updated edition is expanded to include among its 13,000 entries flower painters and garden designers. Each entry gives, wherever possible, details of dates and places of birth and death, educational qualifications, professional posts, honors and awards, publications, location of plant collections, manuscripts, drawings, and portraits. Its main function, however, is to provide further biographical references in books and periodicals. Indexed by professions and activities, countries, and plant interests. Co-published with the Natural History Museum, London. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. SciTech Book News
