EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, the Reverend Dean Samuel Roberts Hole (1819-1904) is depicted in his idyllic English countryside estate, proudly standing next to a magnificent Eremurus robustus, or Foxtail Lily. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, illuminating the verdant foliage and the rich colors of the flower. Dean Hole, who served as the Vicar of Caunton and the Dean of Rochester, was not only a man of the cloth but also a passionate sportsman, writer, and cultivator. His love for gardening was particularly noteworthy, with roses being one of his favorite blooms. The presence of the Foxtail Lily in this photograph underscores his broad horticultural knowledge and dedication to his garden. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the clergy held significant influence in their communities and maintained estates that reflected their diverse interests. Dean Hole's keen green fingers extended beyond his religious duties, allowing him to cultivate a beautiful and diverse garden that showcased his passion for nature. As the sun begins to set, the Reverend Dean Samuel Roberts Hole stands tall and proud, a testament to the harmony between his spiritual and earthly pursuits. The Foxtail Lily, a symbol of resilience and beauty, stands as a fitting companion to this remarkable man, who left an indelible mark on his community and the horticultural world.
