Alfred Chandler was a nurseryman in Vauxhall who bred camellias and Booth was a gardener and member of the Horticultural Society. Booth wrote the text, describing each variety and giving advice for the cultivation and maintenance, and the illustrations were based on Chandler's drawings. Chandler supplied camellias for the conservatory at Chiswick House.
A second volume was planned but never published.
