12. Where the Saint had dug his solitary garden, and on the site of his
cell a great Benedictine Priory was built in after years, where his
body was kept and did many wonders of healing, especially in the
cure of a certain fleshy tumour, which they called “le fie de St.
Fiacre.” After many years, in the beginning of the seventeenth
century, his body was removed to the Cathedral at Meaux.
So it may be seen for how good a cause he became known as
Patron of Gardeners, and it must now be shown why he is called the
Patron of Cab Drivers. In 1640 a man of the name of Sauvage
started an establishment in Paris from which he let out carriages for
hire. He took a house for this business in the Rue St. Martin, and the
house was known as the Hotel de St. Fiacre, and there was a figure
of the Saint over the doorway.
All the coaches plying from here began to be called, for short,
fiacres, and the drivers placed images of the Saint on their carriages,
and claimed him as their patron.
There is a Pardon of St. Fiacre in Brittany; and there are churches
and altars to him all over France.

EVELYN’S “SYLVA”
On my table, as I write, is the copy of “Sylva” that John Evelyn
himself gave to Sir Robert Morray, and in which he wrote in ink that
is now faded and brown, as are his own autograph corrections in the
text,
“—from his most humble servant, Evelyn.”
The title page runs thus:

16. A WOOD AT WOTTON, THE HOME OF JOHN EVELYN.
This book was the first ever printed for the Royal Society, and
contains, as may be seen, a practically complete record of
seventeenth century planting and gardening, thus having an unique
interest for all who follow the craft.
John Evelyn, from the day he began his lessons under the Friar in
the porch of Wotton Church, was a curious observer of men and
things, but especially was he devoted to all manners and styles of
gardening.
Nothing was too small, too trivial to escape his notice; from the
weather-cocks on the trees near Margate—put there on the days the
farmers feasted their servants, to the interest he found in watching
the first man he ever saw drink coffee.
17. The positions he held under Charles II. and James II. were many
and varied, yet he found time to collect samples in Venice, and travel
extensively, to write a Play, a treatise called: “Mundus Muliebris, or
the Ladies’ Dressing Room, Unlocked,” and a pamphlet, called
“Tyrannus, or the Mode,” in which he sought to make Charles II.
dress like a Persian, and succeeded in so doing.
But above all these things he held his chiefest pleasure in seeing and
talking of the arrangement of gardens, passing on this love to his
son John, who, when a boy of fifteen, at Trinity College, Oxford,
translated “Rapin, or Gardens,” the second book of which his father
included in his second edition of “Sylva.”
His Majesty Charles II., to whom the “Sylva” is dedicated, was a
monarch to whom justice has never been properly done. He is
represented by pious but inaccurate historians, those men who for
many years gave a false character of jovial good nature to that gross
thief and sacrilegious monster, Henry VIII., as a King who spent
most of his time in the Playhouse, or in talking trivialities with gay
ladies, and in making witty remarks to all and sundry in his Court.
The side of him that took interest in shipbuilding, navigation,
astronomy, in the founding of the Royal Society, in the advancement
of Art, in the minor matters of flower gardening and bee-keeping is
nearly always suppressed. It was largely through his interest in this
volume of Evelyn’s that the Royal forests were properly replanted;
and it was in a great measure due to Royal interest that the parks
and estates of the noblemen of England became famous in after
years for their beautiful timber.
In that part of the “Sylva” dealing with forest trees, there were a
hundred hints to all lovers of nature and of gardens, for your good
gardener is a man very near in his nature to a good strong tree, and
loves to observe the play of light and shade in the branches of those
that give shade to his garden walks.
Evelyn tells us how the Ash is the sweetest of forest fuelling, and the
fittest for Ladies’ Chambers, also for the building of Arbours, the
staking of Espaliers, and the making of Poles. The white rot of it
18. makes a ground for the Sweet-powder used by gallants. He tries to
introduce the Chestnut as food, saying how it is a good, lusty and
masculine food for Rustics; and commenting on the fact that the
best tables in France and Italy make them a service. He tells us how
the water in which Walnut husks and leaves are boiled poured on
the carpet of walks and bowling-greens infallibly kills the worms
without hurting the grass. That, by the way, is a matter for
discussion among gardeners, seeing that some say that the
movements of worms from below the surface to their cast on the
lawn lets air among the grass roots and is good for them.
He tells us how the Horn-beam makes the stateliest hedge for long
garden walks. He advises us how to make wine of the Birch, Ash,
Elder, Oak, Crab and Bramble. He praises the Service-Tree, and the
Eugh, and the Jasmine, saying of this last how one sorry tree in
Paris where they grow “has been worth to a poor woman, near
twenty shillings a year.”
All this and much besides of diverting and instructive reading, varied
with remarks on the gardens of his friends and acquaintances, as
when he “cannot but applaud the worthy Industry of old Sir Harbotle
Grimstone, who (I am told) from a very small Nursery of Acorns
which he sowed in the neglected corners of his ground, did draw
forth such numbers of Oaks of competent growth; as being planted
about his Fields in even and uniform rows, about one hundred foot
from the Hedges; bush’d and well water’d till they had sufficiently
fix’d themselves, did wonderfully improve both the beauty, and the
value of his Demeasnes,” for the honour and glory of filling England
with fine trees and gardens to improve, what he calls—the Landskip.
The exigencies of the present moment when Imperial Finance
threatens to tax all good parks and orchards out of existence, and to
make all fine flower gardens out of use, except to the enormously
wealthy, makes the “Gard’ners Calendar” all the more interesting as
showing what manner of flowers, fruits, and vegetables were in use
in the Seventeenth Century, and the means employed to grow and
preserve them.
19. Then, as now, there was a danger of over cultivation of certain
plants and flowers, so that a man might have more pride in the
number and curiosity of his flowers, than in the beauty and colour of
them. It is a certain fault in modern gardeners that they do not
study the grouping and massing of colours, but do, more generally,
take pride in over-large specimens, great collections, and rare
varieties. But this age and that are times of collecting, of
connoisseurship, ages that produce us great art of their own but
have an extraordinary knowledge of the arts and devices of the past.
Not that I would decry the friendly competitions of this and that man
to grow rare rock plants, or bloom exotics the one against another,
but I do most certainly prefer a rivalry in producing beautiful effects
of colour; and love better to see a great mass of Roses growing free
than to see one poor tree twisted into the semblance of a flowering
parasol as men now use in many of the small climbing Roses.
To the end that gardeners and lovers of gardens may know how
those past gardeners treated their fruits and flowers, I give the
whole of Evelyn’s “Gard’ners Calendar,” than which no more
complete account of gardens of that time exists.
It would be as well to note, before arriving at our Seventeenth
Century Calendar, how the art of gardening had grown in England
after the time of the Romans.
From the time that every sign of the Roman occupation had been
wiped out to the beginning of the thirteenth century, gardens as we
know them to-day did not exist. The first attempts at gardens within
castle walls were little plots of herbs and shrubs with a few trees of
Costard Apples. It appears that all those plants and flowers the
Romans cultivated had been lost, and that with the sterner
conditions of living all such arrangements as arbours of cut Yew
trees, or elaborate Box-edged paths had completely vanished.
Certainly they did have arbours for shade, but of a simple kind and
quite unlike the elaborate garden houses the Romans built.
There were vineyards and wine made from them as early as the
Eighth Century, and in the reign of Edward the Third wine was made
20. at Windsor Castle by Stephen of Bourdeaux. The Cherry trees
brought here by the Romans had quite died out and were not
recovered until Harris, Henry the Eighth’s Irish fruiterer, grew them
again at Sittingbourne. In the Twelfth Century flower gardening
again came in, and within the castle walls pleasant gardens were
laid out with little avenues of fruit trees, and neat beds of flowers.
Of the fruit trees there was the Costard Apple, the only Apple of that
time, from which great quantities of cider—that “good-natured and
potable liquor”—was made. There was the great Wardon Pear, from
which the celebrated Wardon pies were made; they were Winter
Pears from a stock originally cultivated by those great horticulturists
the Cistercian monks of Wardon in Bedfordshire. Then there was
also the Quince, called a Coyne, the Medlar, and I believe the
Mulberry, or More tree. In the borders, Strawberries, Raspberries,
Barberries and Currants were grown, that is in a well-stocked garden
such as the Earl of Lincoln had in Holborn in 1290. Then there was a
plot set aside as a Physic garden where herbs grew and salads of
Rocket, Lettuce, Mustard, Watercress, and Hops. In one place,
probably overlooking the pond or fountain which was the centre of
such gardens, was an arbour, and walks and smaller gardens were
screened off by wattle hedges. In that part of the garden devoted to
flowers were Roses, Lilies, Sunflowers, Violets, Poppies, Narcissi,
Pervinkes or Periwinkles. Lastly, and most important was the Clove
Pink, or Gilly-flower, a variety of Wallflower then called Bee-flower.
Add to this an apiary and you have a complete idea of the mediæval
garden.
Later, in the Fifteenth Century came a new feature into the garden, a
mound built in the centre for the view, made sometimes of earth,
but very often of wood raised up as a platform, and having gaily
carved and painted stairways. These, with butts for archery, and
bowling-greens, and a larger variety of the old kinds of flowers,
showed the principal difference.
We come now to the gardens of the Sixteen Century, when flower
gardening was extremely popular. Spenser and the other poets are
always describing the beauties of flowers, and from these and old
21. Herbals, from Bacon, Shakespeare and other writers of that time, we
are able to see how, slowly but surely, the art of flower growing had
advanced. The gardens were very exact and formal, and were
divided in geometrical patterns, and grew large “seats” of Violets,
Penny Royal, and Mint as well as other herbs. Above all, a new
addition to the mounds, archery butts and bowling-greens, was the
maze which had a place in every proper garden of the Elizabethans.
The first garden where flower growing was taken really seriously
belonged to John Parkinson, a London apothecary who had a garden
in Long Acre. Great importance was given to smell, as is highly
proper, and flower gardens were bordered with Thyme, Marjoram
and Lavender. Highly-scented flowers were the most prized, and for
this reason the prime favourite the Carnation, was more grown than
any other flower. Of this there were fifty distinct varieties of every
shape and size, including the famous large Clove Pink, the golden
coloured Sops-in-Wine.
With the increase in the variety of the Rose, of which about thirty
kinds were known, came the fashion, quickly universal, of keeping
potpourri of dried Rose leaves, many of which were imported from
the East, from whence, years before, had come quantities of Roses
to supply the demand in Winter in Rome.
As the fashion for growing flowers increased so, also, did the efforts
of gardeners to procure new and rare flowers from foreign countries,
and soon the Fritillary, Tulip and Iris were extensively cultivated, and
were treated with extraordinary care.
Following this came the rage for Anemones and Ranunculi, in which
people endeavoured to excel over their friends. And after that came
in small Chrysanthemums, Lilac or Blue Pipe tree, Lobelia, and the
Acacia tree.
It will be seen that within quite a short space of time the old garden
containing few flowers, and only those as a rule that had some
medicinal properties, vanished before a perfect orgy of colour and
wealth of varieties; and that gardening for pleasure gave the people
22. a new and fascinating occupation. The rage for Anemones and for
the different kinds of Ranunculus developed until in the late
Seventeenth Century the madness, for it was nothing else, for Tulip
collecting came in, to give place still later to the Rose, and in our day
only to be equalled by the collection of Chrysanthemums and
Orchids.
The best books previous to Evelyn’s “Sylva” are Gervase Markham’s
“Country House-Wife’s Garden,” (1617), and John Parkinson’s
“Paradisus in Sole” (1629).
One word more on the subject of flower mania. The rage for the
Tulip that attacked both English and Dutch in the late Seventeenth
Century is one of the most peculiar things in the history of
gardening. The Tulip is really a Persian flower, the shape of it
suggesting the name, thoulyban, a Persian turban. It was introduced
into England about 1577, by way of Germany, having been brought
there by the German Ambassador from Constantinople. By the
Seventeenth Century there had developed such a passion for this
flower that it led to wreck and ruin of rich men who paid fabulous
sums for the bulbs, a single bulb being sold for a fortune. One bulb
of the Semper Augustus was sold for four thousand six hundred
florins, a new carriage, a pair of grey horses, and complete harness.
So great did the business in Tulips become that every Dutch town
had special Tulip exchanges, and there speculators assembled and
bid away vast sums to acquire rare kinds. The mania lasted about
three years, and was only finally stopped by the Government.
29. JANUARY.
To be done
In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden.
Trench the ground, and make it ready for the Spring: prepare also
soil, and use it where you have occasion: Dig Borders, &c., uncover
as yet Roots of Trees, where Ablaqueation is requisite.
Plant Quick-Sets, and Transplant Fruit-trees, if not finished: Set
Vines; and begin to prune the old: Prune the branches of Orchard-
fruit-trees; Nail, and trim your Wall-fruit, and Espaliers.
Cleanse Trees of Moss, &c., the weather moist.
Gather Cyons for graffs before the buds sprout; and about the later
end, Graff them in the Stock: Set Beans, Pease, etc.
Sow also (if you please) for early Colly-flowers.
Sow Chevril, Lettuce, Radish, and other (more delicate) Saleting; if
you will raise in the Hot-bed.
In over wet, or hard weather, cleanse, mend, sharpen and prepare
garden-tools.
Turn up your Bee-hives, and sprinkle them with a little warm and
sweet Wort; do it dextrously.

JANUARY.
To be done
In the Parterre, and Flower Garden.
Set up your Traps for Vermin; especially in your Nurseries of Kernels
and Stones, and amongst your Bulbous-roots: About the middle of
this month, plant your Anemony-roots, which will be secure of,
without covering, or farther trouble: Preserve from too great and
continuing Rains (if they happen), Snow and Frost, your choicest
Anemonies, and Ranunculus’s sow’d in September, or October for
earlier Flowers: Also your Carnations, and such seeds as are in peril
of being wash’d out, or over chill’d and frozen; covering them with
Mats and shelter, and striking off the Snow where it lies too weighty;
for it certainly rots, and bursts your early-set Anemonies and
Ranunculus’s, etc., unless planted now in the Hot-bed; for now is the
Season, and they will flower even in London. Towards the end,
earth-up, with fresh and light mould, the Roots of those Auriculas
which the frosts may have uncovered; filling up the chinks about the
sides of the Pots where your choicest are set: but they need not be
hous’d; it is a hardy Plant.
31. Flowers in Prime, or Yet Lasting.
Winter Aconite, some Anemonies, Winter Cyclamen, Black Hellebor,
Beumal-Hyacinth, Oriental-Jacynth, Levantine-Narcissus, Hepatica,
Prime-Roses, Laurustinus, Mezereon, Praecoce Tulips, etc., especially

NOTE.
That both these Fruits and Flowers are more early, or tardy, both as
to their prime Seasons of eating, and perfection of blowing,
according as the soil, and situation, are qualified by Nature or
Accident.
NOTE ALSO
That in this Recension of Monethly Flowers, it is to be understood for
the whole period that any flower continues, from its first appearing,
to its final withering.
33. FEBRUARY.
To be done
In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden.
Prime Fruit-trees, and Vines, as yet. Remove graffs of former year
graffing. Cut and lay Quick-sets. Yet you may Prune some Wall-fruit
(not finish’d before) the most tender and delicate: But be
exceedingly careful of the now turgid buds and bearers; and trim up
your Palisade Hedges, and Espaliers. Plant Vines as yet, and the
Shrubs, Hops, etc.
Set all sorts of kernels and stony seeds. Also sow Beans, Pease,
Radish, Parsnips, Carrots, Onions, Garlick, etc., and Plant Potatoes in
your worst ground.
Now is your Season for Circumposition by Tubs, Baskets of Earth,
and for laying of Branches to take Root. You may plant forth your
Cabbage-plants.
Rub Moss off your Trees after a soaking Rain, and scrape and
cleanse them of Cankers, etc., draining away the wet (if need
require) from the too much moistened Roots, and earth up those
Roots of your Fruit-trees, if any were uncover’d. Cut off the webs of
Caterpillars, etc. (from the Tops of Twigs and Trees) to burn. Gather
Worms in the evenings after Rain.
Kitchen-Garden herbs may now be planted, as Parsly, Spinage, and
other hardy Pot-herbs. Towards the middle of later end of this
Moneth, till the Sap rises briskly, Graff in the Cleft, and so continue
till the last of March; they will hold Apples, Pears, Cherries, Plums,
34. etc. Now also plant out your Colly-flowers to have early; and begin
to make your Hot-bed for the first Melons and Cucumbers; but trust
not altogether to them. Sow Asparagus. Lastly,

and red. Yellow Violets with large leaves, early Daffodils, etc.
38. MARCH.
To be done
In the Orchard, and Olitory Garden.
Yet Stercoration is seasonable, and you may plant what trees are
left, though it be something of the latest, unless in very backward or
moist places.
Now is your chiefest and best time for raising on the Hot-bed
Melons, Cucumbers, Gourds, etc., which about the sixth, eighth or
tenth day will be ready for the seeds; and eight days after prick
them forth at distances, according to the method, etc.
If you have them later, begin again in ten or twelve days after the
first, and so a third time, to make Experiments.
Graff all this Moneth, unless the Spring prove extraordinary
forwards.
You may as yet cut Quick-sets, and cover such Tree-roots as you laid
bare in Autumn.
Slip and set Sage, Rosemary, Lavender, Thyme, etc.
Sow in the beginning Endive, Succory, Leeks, Radish, Beets, Chard-
Beet, Scorzonera, Parsnips, Skirrets, Parsley, Sorrel, Buglos, Borrage,
Chevril, Sellery, Smalladge, Alisanders, etc. Several of which
continue many years without renewing, and are most of them to be
blanch’d by laying them under litter and earthing up.
Sow also Lettuce, Onions, Garlick, Okach, Parslan, Turneps (to have
early) monethly, Pease, etc. these annually.
39. Transplant the Beet-chard which you sow’d in August to have most
ample Chards. Sow also Carrots, Cabbages, Cresses, Fennel,
Marjoram, Basil, Tobacco, etc. And transplant any sort of Medicinal
Hearbs.
Mid-March dress up and string your Strawberry-beds, and uncover
your Asparagus, spreading and loosening the Mould about them, for
their more easy penetrating. Also you may transplant Asparagus
roots to make new Beds.
By this time your Bees sit; keep them close Night and Morning, if the
weather prove ill. Turn your Fruit in the Room where it lies, but open
not yet the windows.
Fruits in Prime, or Yet Lasting.
APPLES.
Golden Duchess (Doucet), Pepins, Reineting, Loues Pearmain,
Winter Pearmain, John-Apple, etc.
PEARS.
Later Bon-crestien, Double Blossom Pear, etc.
MARCH.
To be done
In the Parterre, and Flower Garden.
Stake and binde up your weakest Plants and Flowers against the
Windes, before they come too fiercely, and in a moment prostrate a
whole year’s labour.
40. Plant Box, etc, in Parterres. Sow Pinks, Sweet Williams, and
Carnations, from the middle to the end of this Moneth. Sow Pine
kernels, Firr-seeds, Bays, Alatirnus, Phillyrea, and most perennial
Greens, etc. Or you may stay till somewhat later in the Moneth. Sow
Auricula seeds in pots or cases, in fine willow earth, a little loamy;
and place what you sow’d in October now in the shade and water it.
Plant some Anemony roots to bear late, and successively: especially
in, and about London, where the Smoak is anything tolerable; and if
the Season be very dry, water them well once in two or three days.
Fibrous roots may be transplanted about the middle of this Moneth;
such as Hepatica’s, Primeroses, Auricula’s, Camomile, Hyacinth,
Tuberose, Matricaria, Hellebor, and other Summer Flowers; and
towards the end Convolvulus, Spanish or ordinary Jasmine.
Towards the middle or latter end of March sow on the Hot-bed such
Plants as are late-bearing Flowers or Fruit in our Climate; as
Balsamine, and Balsamummas, Pomum Onions, Datura, Aethispic
Apples, some choice Amaranthmus, Dactyls, Geraniums, Hedysarum
Clipeatum, Humble, and Sensitive Plants, Lenticus, Myrtleberries
(steep’d awhile), Capsicum Indicum, Canna Indica, Flos Africanus,
Mirabile Peruvian, Nasturtium Ind., Indian Phaseoli, Volubilis, Myrrh,
Carrots, Manacoe, fine flos Passionis and the like rare and exotic
plants which are brought us from hot countries.
Note.—That the Nasturtium Ind., African Marygolds, Volubilis and
some others, will come (though not altogether so forwards) in the
Cold-bed without Art. But the rest require much and constant heat,
and therefore several Hot-beds, till the common earth be very warm
by the advance of the Sun, to bring them to a due stature, and
perfect their Seeds.
About the expiration of this Moneth carry into the shade such
Auriculas, Seedlings or Plants as are for their choiceness reserv’d in
Pots.
Transplant also Carnation seedlings, giving your layers fresh earth,
and setting them in the shade for a week, then likewise cut off all
41. the sick and infected leaves.
Now do the farewell-frosts, and Easterly-winds prejudice your
choicest Tulips, and spot them; therefore cover such with Mats or
Canvass to prevent freckles, and sometimes destruction. The same
care have of your most precious Anemonies, Auricula’s, Chamae-iris,
Brumal Jacynths, Early Cyclamen, etc. Wrap your shorn Cypress Tops
with Straw wisps, if the Eastern blasts prove very tedious. About the
end uncover some Plants, but with Caution; for the tail of the Frosts
yet continuing, and sharp winds, with the sudden darting heat of the
Sun, scorch and destroy them in a moment; and in such weather
neither sow nor transplant.
Sow Stock-gilly-flower seeds in the Fall to produce double flowers.
Now may you set your Oranges, Lemons, Myrtils, Oleanders,
Lentises, Dates, Aloes, Amonumus, and like tender trees and Plants
in the Portico, or with the windows and doors of the Green-houses
and Conservatories open for eight or ten days before April, or earlier,
if the Season invite, to acquaint them gradually with the Air; but
trust not the Nights, unless the weather be thoroughly settled.
Lastly, bring in materials for the Birds in the Aviary to build their
nests withal.
Flowers in Prime, or Yet Lasting.
Anemonies, Spring Cyclamen, Winter Aconite, Crocus, Bellis, white
and black Hellebor, single and double Hepatica, Leucoion, Chamae-
iris of all colours, Dens Caninus, Violets, Fritillaria, Chelidonium,
