The gardeners dictionary : containing the best and newest methods of cultivating and improving the kitchen, fruit, flower garden, and nursery, as also for performing the practical parts of agriculture : including the management of vineyards, with the methods of making and preserving wine, according to the present practice of the most skilful vignerons in the several wine countries in Europe : together with directions for propagating and improving, for real practice and experience, all sorts of timber trees
The Gardeners Dictionary is an 1768 gardening and agriculture reference by Philip Miller, a London botanist and Chelsea Physic Garden curator, printed for the author and sold by the Rivington booksellers for gardeners and nurserymen. Its first picture is a plate of engraved flower dissections labelled with different sexual parts of flowers, drawn in fine pen-and-ink detail that a designer could use for botanical line motifs, while the second is a title page set in a restrained classical typographic hierarchy with centred lines and small caps.
