Caradoc Doy Dip. Hort. Horticulturist PO Box 28, Exeter, Devon EX3 0WY, United Kingdom Book Details Title: Hortus Veitchii, A History of the Rise and Progress of the Nurseries of Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Together with an Account of The Botanical Collectors and Hybridists Employed by Them and a List of The Most Remarkable of Their Introductions. Author: James H. Veitch. Description: Hortus Veitchii was originally published by the famous nursery firm of James Veitch & Sons, Chelsea, London in 1906 to commemorate the huge contribution made by this firm to western gardens in the introduction of new plants from around the world. This book is a study of the history of the botanical plant collecting explorers and hybridists, working for the nurseries of James Veitch and Son, Exeter and James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea during the period of 1840-1906. This includes chapters on the following; Lives of Travellers, Lives of Hybridists, Orchid Species, Orchid Hybrids, Stove and Greenhouse Plants, Insectivorous Plants, Exotic Ferns, Coniferous Trees, Trees and Shrubs and Climbing Plants, Herbaceous Plants, Bulbous Plants, Begonias, Hippeastrums, Orchid Hybridization, Nepenthes, Greenhouse Rhododendrons, Streptocarpus, Fruits and Vegetables. This facsimile edition of the classic work has been published in Great Britain in 2006 to mark the centenary of its original publication, with the objective that profits generated can be used to establish a permanent collection of plants introduced by the Veitch Nurseries. This will contain many plants which are now rare or endangered in the wild as well as many varieties well known to modern gardeners. Hortus Veitchii is a work of social and historical interest and has been produced with the intention of providing a reproduction of the original book as far as is possible. This has included careful hand scanning of each page, using quality materials of a similar nature and colour, reproducing the blocked foil lettering, block finishing to the cover as well as replicating the original dust jacket. About the author: James Herbert Veitch F.L.S., F.R.H.S. was born in 1869 into a family of successful nurserymen. He was the eldest son of John Gould Veitch and like his father was to become a botanist and plant collector for the family nursery firm of James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea. Following a tour to the Far East and Australasia during 1891-1893 he wrote A Traveller’s Notes which was published by James Veitch and Sons in 1896. He returned to England to become managing director of the firm in 1900, on the retirement of his uncle, Harry James Veitch (later Sir Harry). In November 1906, shortly after the publication of Hortus Veitchii, he retired from his duties due to ill health. This caused Harry Veitch to come out of retirement and return to lead the business until its eventual closure in 1914. James Herbert Veitch died in Exeter in November 1907, aged only 39.

Many of these landscapes cannot be isolated from the énclave as they are integral to and part of its cultural mosaic and character. Perhaps the most important are the Penang Hill hill-station landscape and the ‗Waterfall‘ Botanic Gardens. The latter is an under-valued ‗garden of the empire‘—a garden that significantly underpinned the development and historical and botanical stature of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This paper reviews the cultural significance of colonial botanic gardens as they were established around the world during the scientific explosion of the late 1800s.

246 Combined Proceedings International Plant Propagators’ Society, Volume 52, 2002 The Role of the Veitch Nursery of Exeter in 19th Century Plant Introductions 247 Among interesting perennials are the luxuriant Myosotidium hortensia, the Chatham Island forget-me-not; blue poppies such as Meconopsis betonicifolia, M. grandis and the hybrid ‘Lingholm’; and many members of the Iridaceae such as Dietes, Diplarrhena, Libertia, Orthrosanthus, and Watsonia. The very distinctive Arisaema do well here, as do an increasing number of plants in the Convallaria- ceae, including Disporum, Polygonatum, Smilacina, Tricyrtis, and Uvularia. PLANTING CONDITIONS The windy conditions discourage the planting of large specimens, though the shallow soil in some places makes this physically impossible, while the severe infes- tation of honey fungus, Armillaria sp., precludes the direct transplanting of woody plants, which eventually fall victim to the fungus. Lifted rhododendrons are potted into very wide, shallow containers for a year or two before being surface planted, a method which has become the rule without cultivated beds, by simply placing the rootball on the soil and mounding up with the chosen medium. This seems to encourage establishment and may slow the invading Armillaria. Where rhododen- drons are planted on mossy rocks or stumps, particular care has to be taken during dry periods as the lack of mains water or any distribution system makes watering practically impossible and establishment unlikely. The Role of the Veitch Nursery of Exeter in 19th Century Plant Introductions© Mike Squires 1 Feeber Cottage, Westwood, Broadclyst, Exeter, EX5 3DQ The story of the Veitch family of Exeter is more than the story of the British love of plants.

The Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library: Safeguarding Britain's Horticultural Heritage Transcript
The Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library: Safeguarding Britain's Horticultural Heritage Transcript Date: Wednesday, 22 May 2013 - 6:00PM Location: Museum of London 22 May 2013 The Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Library: Safeguarding Britain’s Horticultural Heritage Dr Brent Elliott The Royal Horticultural Society is the world’s largest horticultural society – membership passed the 400,000 mark this year – and it also has the world’s largest horticultural library. This would be the case even if we took only the principal branch, at the Society’s offices in London, into consideration; but there is also a major collection at the Society’s principal garden at Wisley, and smaller collections at its three other gardens. In 2011 the Lindley Library was given Designated status by the Museums and Libraries Association as a collection of national and international importance. 1. History Before I talk about the Library’s collections, I must give a brief history of the Society and its Library. The Society was originally known as the Horticultural Society of London; it was founded in 1804 by John Wedgwood and Sir Joseph Banks, and for its first two decades its primary purpose was to provide a forum where Fellows could read papers, the best of which were published in its Transactions, and display and comment on items of interest. By 1830, it had a garden at Chiswick, with a celebrated collection of fruit varieties; it was running a training programme for gardeners, among the graduates of which were Joseph Paxton, later to be knighted for his role in creating the Crystal Palace; and it was sending plant collectors to nearly every continent, and introducing many new plants into cultivation in Britain.
