Our Cover Picture 
William Robinson, the leading protagon- 
ist in the battle which took place in the late 
Victorian and early Edwardian ere between 
the advocates for formal and informal gard- 
ening respectively, made himself a garden 
in Sussex which for many years stood as the 
prototype of the finest developement of Eng- 
lish gardening. The wide, undulating acres 
which surrounded the gaunt manor of Gra- 
vetye, a stone masion built by an iron-master 
in the days when Sussex was a center of the 
primitive iron industry, were transformed by 
this master hand into a paradise of informal 
beauty. 
The photograph on the cover of this issue 
depicts a house on the estate, Moat Cottage, 
at one time the residence of Ernest Mark- 
ham, gardener for many years to William 
Robinson, and scarcely less famous than 
his illustrious employer. Markham was a 
man of wide knowledge and great gardening 
skill, and his work amongst Clematis stilt 
stand pre-eminent. 
Moat Cottage is a late fifteenth century 
dwelling, built in oak timber and plastered 
walls, with a roof of stone slabs. Its pict- 
uresque walls form the perfect setting for 
the many beautiful flowering climbers which 
have been trained over them and the garden 
in the forefront has been allowed to riot 
into the colorful abandon of a typical Eng- 
lish cottage garden, owing much to artifice, 
yet seeming to be a medley of naturally 
blended color with little apparent evidence 
of the gardeners hand. 
This scene will be familiar to those who 
have made the pilgrimage to Gravetye, at
