| Gardener and horticultural writer, born in Co Down, SE Northern Ireland, UK. He worked as a gardener in Ireland, and in 1861 went to the Royal Botanic Society's gardens at Regent's Park, London. An exponent of natural rather than formal gardens, he published 18 books, including Gleanings from French Gardens (1868), Alpine Flowers for English Gardens (1870), and The English Flower Garden (1883), and founded and edited three horticultural journals: The Garden (1872), Gardening Illustrated (1879), and Flora and Sylva (1903). |
