Cloth. Condition: Fair. First Edition. With signed presentation inscription to J. Hollingsworth (head gardener at Tredegar Park followed by Margam Park]. Illustrated with a large folding map frontispiece (with, as usual, tears and creases at the upper join, now neatly repaired), nine large full-page plates on heavy card. many small text images from photographs, quarto, pp 219, slight age-toning and marking, some inner joints rather cracked and weak, the last third of the book has rather damp-wrinkled pages, with light staining on the last few pages, original decorated cloth with paper inlay, bevelled edges, a bit rubbed and marked, the spine dull and age-toned andpulled at the head and tail, the upper cover slightly unevenly age-toned. [In October 1891 Veitch embarked on a tour of inspection of the great Botanic and Public Gardens maintained by governments in various countries as well as visiting many private horticultural establishments, to decide whether the Veitch gardens and nurseries might be enriched by further additions. He set off by way of Rome and Naples to Ceylon, thence overland from Tuticorin to Lahore. He continued to Calcutta and on to the Straits Settlements. In Penang he visited the Botanic Gardens, whose curator Charles Curtis was formerly employed by James Veitch & Sons as a plant collector, before moving on to Singapore where he visited the Botanic Gardens. He then visited Johore, before returning to Singapore in February 1892, when he climbed Bukit Timah (the highest point on the island) with Walter Fox, curator of the Gardens. He then travelled to Buitenzorg, West Java where he visited the Botanical Gardens. He also explored the crater of Kawah Papandajan (volcano), and visited Lake Bagendit near Garoet. His travels then took him to Japan, where he met Charles Sprague Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum, and they undertook a joint plant collecting expedition including ascending the Hakkoda Mountains together. After visiting Korea, he reached Australia in 1893. However he found Australia disappointing and wrote that it was easier to collect seed in Japan where there was cheap labour; in Australia "no one will help". He complained that the seeds of many plants "were so tiny he did not know if he was collecting seed or dust". He sent to Kew a collection of dried specimens of 250 species from Western Australia. Later he visited the North Island of New Zealand, before returning to England in July 1893. ]. Signed by Author.

First Edition
First and limited edition, one of an unstated number of copies "printed for private circulation only". This is a handsomely illustrated history of the most prominent 19th-century horticultural firm in Britain, with accounts of their most famous botanical collecting explorers and hybridists. It is an essential reference work on plants introduced to Britain during the Victorian era. The Veitch nursery empire was founded about 1800 by John Veitch (1752-1839) and was the first businesses to employ professional plant-hunters. The book "gives a detailed account of the family business and of the men that the firm sent to South America, Japan, China, and India during the period 1840-1906, including distinguished plant finders such as William Lobb, his brother Thomas, who first introduced various types of orchids from India to Britain for cultivation, and Richard Pearce, who brought back tuberous begonias from South America" (introduction to the Cambridge edition). Among the most famous collectors who travelled to China, the book mentions E. H. Wilson (1876-1930), "who coined the phrase 'China-mother of Gardens' and. introduced from four expeditions there between 1899 and 1911 over a thousand plants apparently new to the western world" (Lancaster, foreword). Also mentioned is Augustine Henry (1857-1930), whose "discoveries in the provinces of Hubei and Sichuan, particularly in the vicinity of the famous Yangtze Gorges, were responsible in large part for the renaissance of Chinese plant introductions to British gardens" (ibid.). Roy Lancaster, "Foreword", in Sue Shepard, ed., Seeds of Fortune. A Gardening Dynasty, 2012; James Herbert Veitch, Hortus Veitchii, Cambridge Library Collection, 2011. Folio. Original purple half morocco, spine lettered in gilt, marbled and gilt paper sides and endpapers, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Housed in the publisher's purple cloth solander box. With photogravure frontispiece and 49 similar plates, all with tissue guards, title page printed in red and black. Occasional spot of foxing to contents, otherwise clean. A near-fine copy in the somewhat rubbed and sunned solander box, with a couple of short splits, but sound.
