In July 1973 Holly Gate Nurseries started the journal
Ashingtonia to supplement the Reference Collection that is still today
maintained at the nursery. The journal was aimed at the enthusiastic but
discerning grower of xerophytic plants and was edited by John Donald.
Between that date and the last issue, published in 1979, three volumes of the
journal appeared containing a wealth of information including 37 new
descriptions and combinations from some of the most authoritative botanists of
the day, complete reviews of 6 genera, together with a host of brief articles
featuring particular species, all illustrated with magnificent colour
photographs.
We have recently discovered a limited supply of this
unique journal that can be ordered on the order form on a first come - first
served basis.
