The Gardeners Dictionary is a 1768 London horticultural reference by Philip Miller, published for the author and sold by the Rivingtons, covering kitchen and flower gardens, orchards, vineyards and timber trees. The plate shows rows of engraved botanical figures, with small seed vessels, leaves and sprigs drawn in fine line on a plain ground, which a designer could use as a source of dense, orderly natural pattern and specimen-style layout.
