(Crossed out) Elder 162 A stylized drawing from an as yet unidentified herbal, which was the basis that Morris and Burne-Jones used for the trees that separated the Good Women in the design for the embroidery that was to have been for Ruskin. The projected series had been intended for the girls of the Winnington School to work under the supervision of Georgiana and Miss Bell. However the project was abandoned. A number of embroideries similar were made for the Red House for example: St Catherine (now held at Kelmscott Manor). At this stage Burne-Jones was as involved in designing plant forms for the backgrounds for their projects, as was Morris. According to Henry Phillips "Floral Emblems" (1825) the plants have the following symbolism 1. Cherry - Education 2. Pomegranate - Bitter experience 3. Orange - Generosity 4. Lemon - Zest 5. Apple - (not listed) 6. Mulberry - Wisdom 7. Olive - Peace 8. Damson - (Plum) Independence 9. Fig - Argument or debate 10. ? (Crossed out) Elder 162 - Zealousness It is possible that the trees were intended to be used symbolically to reflect character traits of the figures they were associated with.
