Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating chronicle of the pioneering work of the Veitch family, who for over three-quarters of a century transformed the face of horticulture in England. The author, with the help of family members, former employees, and prominent botanists, provides an intimate look at the lives and achievements of the Veitch family. You'll learn about the family's origins as nurserymen, their early forays into plant collecting in the 1830s and 1840s, and the dramatic expansion of their business in the mid-19th century, led by the charismatic James Veitch junior. The book takes us on a thrilling journey through exotic locales, tracing the footsteps of the Veitch collectors â₠“ William Lobb, Thomas Lobb, and Richard Pearce â₠“ as they sought out new and rare plants in South America, Java, Malaya, and California. Their daring expeditions brought back to England a wealth of plants, many of which are now commonplace in gardens around the world, including the dramatic Wellingtonia gigantea, the vibrant Lapageria rosea, and the enchanting Lilium auratum. We also meet the remarkable hybridists employed by the Veitch family â₠“ John Dominy, John Seden, and John Heal â₠“ who dedicated their lives to creating even more dazzling varieties of popular garden plants. Through their dedication and the expertise of the Veitch family, this book unveils a fascinating history of plant exploration and its impact on the development of our gardens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
