William Forsyth (1737-1804). Forsyth, who had been a pupil of Philip Miller, had a distinguished career as a gardener, becoming Royal gardener at Kensington and St. James in 1784. At Kensington he found the fruit-trees in an old worn-out state and began a system of renovation by heading down and renewing the soil, in which he was highly successful, and received a Parliamentary reward for discovering the ingredients of this composition with which he covered the wounds. The above work reached seven editions, in spite of having procured him the public animadversions of T.A. Knight, James McPhail, W. Pontey and others.
