Bedford Park, a development in West London considered to be the world's first garden suburb, was begun in 1875. De Morgan supplied tiles to many of the properties in the development, and Bedford Park Daisy and Bedford Park Anemone were patterns which he designed specifically for this purpose. De Morgan produced these patterns in various colours including yellow, blue and manganese. They were very popular and were produced over a period of 35 years.
