John Rea's 1665 London gardening treatise Flora, seu, De florum cultura, printed for the bookseller Thomas Clarke, is a practical manual for florists covering flower cultivation, fruit growing and garden work. Its plates are engraved parterre and knot-garden patterns, interlaced and geometric, with strong figure-ground contrast that a designer could adapt for tiles, textiles or lattice motifs.
