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 a 1768 London horticultural reference by Philip Miller, published for the author and sold by the Rivingtons, covering kitchen and flower gardens, orchards, vineyards and timber trees. The plate shows rows of engraved botanical figures, with small seed vessels, leaves and sprigs drawn in fine line on a plain ground, which a designer could use as a source of dense, orderly natural pattern and specimen-style layout.
