Ian,
where is that garden: near Budapest, Hungary or probably in Pruhonice,
Czech Republic, too not very long from Budapest?
If it is second it is great well known collection of Dr. Milan Blazek,
which list is now in my hand.
It is about 120 samples of species, european bearded principal;
about 800 TB cultivar: 60 before 1927, 105 from 1927-1940, 150 from 1941
-1951;..
Many medians, dwarfs and siberians.
