fun fact: 


digital description: 


wall description: 
Robert Furber, one of the best-known plant dealers in London, published <em>Twelve Months of Flowers</em> and <em>Twelve Months of Fruit</em> in 1730 and 1732, respectively. These deluxe sales catalogues, the first ever produced in England, display some 400 flowers and 370 fruits arranged according to the months in which the flowers and fruit bloom or ripen. At least two dozen American plants are pictured, as the flora of the colonies quickly became available in Europe.
