Despite the title page, he is generally regarded as the sole author of this popular gardening manual, which originally appeared with Mawe, the gardener to the Duke of Leeds, listed as the author because of that worthy's greater reputation' (Johnston). The present copy was owned by one 'William Chartres' and used by him to record his employment as gardener to 'Lord Elcho [i.e.Francis Charteris was there a family connection?], South Warnbro Castle, Hampshire' in 1799, and subsequently to Sir John Eamer at Putney Heath in 1801. Eamer (17501823), an eminent grocer in the sugar trade, was Lord Mayor of London in 1801. His house at Putney Heath, known as Bowling Green House, was leased to the former Prime Minister William Pitt in 1804. The book then seems to have passed to Thomas Houghton, who records his service to Rev.Primatt Knapp of Shenley, starting 21 June 1805; and William Garrett of Leigh House, Hampshire, on 29 March 1808. Leigh House had been substantially remodelled by Garrett, and 'The gardens are planned with great judgement, and furnished with pinery, hot-house, green-houses and stoves, and surrounded with shrubberies and walks communicating in all directions' (Butler, Topographical Account of the Hundred of Bosmere, 1817). Thomas Houghton and his son John were later gardeners to Queely Shiell of Granard Lodge, Putney, and would be key witnesses in the case of the murder of Jane Jones by the coachman Daniel Good in 1842. One of these owners, or perhaps one of their children, seems to have decorated the calf of the covers with household tools, including a compass, and scraped the numerals 110 onto the front cover.
