Inscribed by the author on the flyleaf: 'To Lady Aberconway, with the author's kind regards, 11.5.27'. The recipient was the suffragist and horticulturalist Laura McLaren (ne Pochin), Lady Aberconway - the clippings bear dates succeeding her death, and may have been laid in by their son, Henry, the 2nd Baron Aberconway - who inherited Bodnant Garden and continued in the horticultural pursuits of his mother. A faint pencil note beneath the inscription refers to p. 33, where the need to stake plants is emphasised.Keeble was educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge; he became Sherardian professor of botany at Oxford in 1920.
