This page is taken from 'The Flower Garden Display'd', a volume illustrating 'in above four hundred curious representations of the most beautiful flowers; regularly disposed in the respective months of their blossom, curiously engraved on copper-plates from the designs of Mr. Furber and Others, and coloured to the life.
With the description and history of each plant and the method of their culture; whether in stoves, green-houses, hot-beds, glass-cases, open borders or against walls.
Very useful not only for the curious in gardening, but the Prints likewise for painters, carvers, Japaners, & c. also for the ladies as patterns for working, and painting in watercolours; or furniture for the closet'.
