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.
