Remarks | “… educated at Loretto and Trinity College, Oxford … marrying in 1904 Gertrude Norman, daughter of Frederick Norman, of Moor Place, Hertfordshire, and sister of Montague Norman, Governor of the Bank of England … Keenly interested in arborculture, he contributed the chapter on Botany to this history, and his own collection of trees and shrubs is perhaps the most complete in Scotland. Dawyck is now, in the words of the late H. J. Elwes, 'a place of pilgrimage for all lovers of arboriculture.'” (vide J. W. Buchan and Rev. H. Paton. Published 1925-7., http://www.tweedie.org/434-445.htm). [collector note: China; A] |
