An interesting, well-researched story of Baron von Ludwig and his life in Cape Town. Professor H. Brian Rycroft wrote in the foreword to this book: 'Not only has he given us the story of the Baron, most interesting as it it, but he has also told us about the Cape Town of more than 100 years ago ... His efforts to show the importance of the Baron's horticultural introductions have been most successful and will accord Von Ludwig his correct place in Cape Botanical and horticultural history.' 16 illustrations, portraits and photographs. An appendix showing some of the horticultural introductions of Baron von Ludwig. Pages [i-iv]v-xii pp 1-124.
