However, from 1902, William Watson, the respected Edwardian gardener, becomes associated with the book, and thereafter all editions are ascribed solely to him; his position of Curator at Kew and Associate of the Linnean Society allowing him to pull together the very best of the gardening scholarship and practical understanding of the time.
