Garden Plants of 1730

By Audrey Stallsmith

Furber calendar June

The following list of heirloom plants is taken from Robert Furber's 1730 catalog/calendar titled Twelve Months of Flowers. On the left of each equals sign is the plant as he described it. On the right of each equals sign is my guess at the plant's Latin name, with the modern nickname in parentheses-if it is different from the old one.

Where I have found more than one possibility I have inserted an "or" between the two. AKA means "also known as," and indicates that there are two different names for the same plant. Since there is often not enough information to indicate a specific variety, I often have to refer to types!

Capital letters indicate what was probably a cultivar. Since most of those are no longer available, I have often included a description of the color of the blooms, as shown in the catalog plate. (The word "striped" in the original description seems to have referred sometimes to flower hues and sometimes to variegated foliage.)

As you can see, "flamed" tulips, anemones, and auriculas were especially popular. Keep in mind that Furber was a British nurseryman, so some of these plants may not have been available in America at the time. But many others, judging from their nicknames, originated here.

If anyone can help me identify those plants for which I have only a question mark, please drop me a line. I have also included a question mark after my interpretation where the guess is very tentative! So any corrections would also be welcome.
