QUICK GUIDE TO UK AND RoI NURSERIES ……………………………………………….…62
The Quick Guide provides a guide to the span of years covered by the individual nurseries rather
than the exact dates as indicated in the main index. Undated catalogues are indicated by the
abbreviation - n.d

Most catalogues offer a wide range of flowers, plants, trees, etc., which comes under the heading of
General Catalogue. A quick scan down the other columns will provide an 'at a glance' indication
of focused content, e.g. Ferns or Aquatic plants
