were in one album from which it is
believed that at least one set of flower
crests may have been published. The album
which also had a set of birds and animals

the imprint of a New York publisher. It
may be that the sets were produced for
the American market. |
| The Royal Gardens were
so named as they were in royal ownership

and have an international reputation. |

The
Royal Botanic Garden at Edinburgh,
Scotland, was founded in the seventeenth

three other locations in Scotland. |
