Robert
Furber was a distinguished nurseryman particularly
in the area of fruit trees.
He published the following:
1. Fruits for every month of the year. 12
plates. There are prints of the "best kind of fruits
raised in the country." This publication is now
invaluable and copies can only be found in art museums
and other museums specializing in rare books.
2. The flower garden displayed containing about
four hundred representatives of the most beautiful
flower coloured to the life with the art of raising
flowers in the depth of winter. With 12 engravings of
the seasons. 1732
This book is now exceedingly expensive and the
single original copies of each of the 12 seasons bring
fabulous prices in antique stores.
