The British flower garden : containing coloured figures & descriptions of the most ornamental & curious hardy herbaceous plants ...
The British Flower Garden is a 1823 London botanical book of coloured plates and descriptions of hardy herbaceous garden plants, written by Robert Sweet and Edwin Dalton Smith for amateur gardeners. The pictures are finely drawn plant studies, some printed as pale blue-grey outlines and others hand-coloured, showing stems, leaves, flower spikes and dissected florets arranged on the page, which suggests strong botanical layouts for designers working on natural history or garden-themed pieces.
