Thomas Gibbs of Ampthill in Bedfordshire, was seedman to the Board of Agriculture and had a nursery of six acres to the west, where Onslow Square was built. He established his nursery on the estate in 1800 and used it both for horticultural purposes and for experiments to produce improved crop seed.

Two items, both in fair condition, lightly aged and worn, but carelessly extracted from the volume in which they were previously bound up, so that Lindley's letter has suffered slight damage at the edge of both leaves, resulting in repair to one of the leaves, and the loss of a tiny strip of paper from the other, with the loss of a few letters of text (all easily supplied). ONE: Autograph Letter Signed from 'John Lindley | Vice Secretary' to 'John Hearne Esq | St. Domingo'. The letter begins: 'I am directed to transmit to you the Copy of a letter [i.e. Item Two below] which has been addressed by the Council of the Horticultural Society of London to Dr. Griffith, Superintendent of the Botanical Garden at Calcutta, and to other gentlemen who are interested in the matters of Botanical & Horticultural research in the East, and as some of the subjects therein discussed may have come under your observation and may be greatly elucidated by you, I have earnestly on the part of the Council to request your attention to them & to express an anxious desire that you may be led to favour the Society with such information as you may possess upon them or to pursue a similar train of enquiry.' Lindley also describes 'a secondary object': 'the communication between England & the West Indies, is now so greatly facilitated, that an intercourse in plants & productions, more extended than has hitherto prevailed, may possibly be established with advantage [] The rapidity of Steam Communication leads us to believe that means may be found of regularly supplying the markets of England with West Indian fruits. Pine apples have in fact already been imported in large quantities from Nassau, & although they arrived in bad condition & from their bad quality produced an inconsiderable price, yet the possibility of receiving them here is sufficiently proved by the experiment - & an attempt might be made with other kinds'. Although the 'funds of the Society will not permit any great outlay', it desires 'samples of the finest West Indian fruits & vegetables', and Lindley asks if Hearne could 'ascertain the expense of obtaining them occasionally and transmitting them by Steamers [] we should be willing to defray any moderate charge for the purpose of trying the experiment what fruits besides the pine apple, Mango, and Banana it may be practicable thus to transmit'. Lindley continues over the latter part of the letter to discuss 'the Experiment alluded to', putting forward in return for assistance the Society's offer to 'offer suggestions upon Horticultural subjects in which the West Indies are interested'. Referring to results in Calcutta, he states that 'our forcing houses may enable us to prepare the Vine, the Peach, the Strawberry, and similar fruits that they would yield one crop on their arrival in the West Indies'. Reference is also made to 'such vegetables as Asparagus, Sea Kale & Rhubarb'. TWO: Lithographed circular, in facsimile of handwriting, referred to by Lindley at the beginning of his letter. 4pp, folio, and 1p, 8vo. The final 8vo page is headed 'Enquiries concerning the Pine Apple, - for answers to which, as far as concerns [St. Domingo] the Horticultural Society will be much obliged.' (The words 'St. Domingo' are inserted in Lindley's autograph.) Consisting of twelve questions, the last of which reads: 'Are there any varieties of such peculiar excellence as to render it desirable that they should be imported into England.' The main body of the circular, covering four folio pages, begins: 'I am directed by the Council of the Horticultural Society, to inform you that, upon the proposition of the Earl of Auckland, you have been elected one of the Corresponding Members of the Society, and earnestly to request on your part the acceptance of this nomination, and the favor of such occasional communications from you as may tend to promote the interests of botany and horticulture, as well in this country as in that in which you are at present residing.' The text of the document is as Lindley has laid out in his letter, noting that 'from the improved & enlarged construction of hot houses in this country, a desire for the growth of tropical fruits increaases, & that already in the growth of the Banana or Plantain the success is complete, though the endeavours to produce the Leechee, the Mango, the Custard Apple, the Cherimoyer and others, have hitherto wholly or in great part failed'. Regarding the recipient see the announcement of his death in the Annual Register, 4 October 1849: 'In Montague-square, in his 54th year, John Hearne, esq. one of the oldest and most eminent merchants of Port-au-Prince, Hayti, and for many years Swedish and Norwegian consul to that republic.' And also Wetmore and Swales, 'Birds of Haiti and the Dominican Republic', 1931.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. The retir'd gardener. In six parts. The two first being dialogues between a gentleman and gardener. Containing the methods of making . and improving a fruit and kitchen-garden . The four last parts treat of the manner of . adorning gardens; explaining the art of making and disposing of parterres, arbours or greens, wood-works, arches, columns and other compartments proper for the most beautiful gardens and plantations. London, J. Tonson, 1717. 8vo. [16] + 432 + 8p. Engraved frontispiece by M. van der Gucht after L. Laguerre, 20 engraved plates, woodcuts in text. Contemporary decorative panelled calf; lower spine strengthened. A rich source of information on contemporary horticultural practice, and garden design much influenced by French models. London and Wise owned the celebrated Brompton Park nursery from circa 1688 to 1714, and supplied most of the large estates with plants and trees; the nursery was highly recommended by John Evelyn. Wise was 'master gardener'to Queen Anne, whilst London travelled the country giving advice on gardens including Chatsworth, Longleat and Castle Howard. The present work is advertised as a translation of two French works (those of François Gentil and Louis Liger) but with 'several alterations and additions proper for our English culture'. This second edition revised by Joseph Carpenter who became a partner in the nursery in 1714, gives more details of English practice, tree-planting schemes and fruit preferences than the first published 1706 edition, and is considered of more use to the real gardener. There is a list of fruits and catalogue of seeds available at the Brompton nursery. Among the attractive plates are several of parterres, allées and garden layouts with topiary and fountains; arbours and covered walks are illustrated in an elm-entwined portico and a 'gallery'of hornbeam (the text notes that the English would use lime). A handsome copy in contemporary binding, very faint toning only to one or two leaves. Henrey 990. See also David Green, Gardener to Queen Anne, 1958.

Over 50 printed and manuscript items. 4to. Early diced green calf, sunned, extremities rubbed, but interior clean and bright. London, 1804 - A handsome assortment of material concerning the establishment, and first twenty years, of what would become the Royal Horticultural Society. The album belonged to the noted surgeon and botanist Thomas Gery Cullum (1774-1831). He studied at Charterhouse, was apprenticed to the surgeon Richard Hayles, and later practised medicine in Bury St. Edmunds. In 1774 he published Florae Anglicae based on the Linnaean system. This album opens with the printed notice advising of his election to fellow of Horticultural Society as at 1 November 1814. However, the document following it, dated 2 May of the same year, already lists him among them. The idea of a horticultural society was first proposed by John Wedgwood, son of Josiah, in an 1801 letter to William Forsyth at the Royal Gardens, Kew. He notes In a postscript he asks Forsyth to sound out Sir Joseph Banks on the idea. Banks responded enthusiastically and asked to become one of the founding members. The Marquess of Lansdowne and a Mr Jervis of Staffordshire were soon added to the list but it was another two years before the society was officially founded. ?Not until Wednesday, 7 March 1804, was the Society's inaugural meeting held, in the house of the bookseller Mr. Hatchard . Apart from Wedgwood and Forsyth the meeting was attended by five others; the Rt Hon. Sir Joseph Banks, the Rt. Hon Charles Greville, Richard Anthony Salisbury, William Townsend Aiton, and James Dickson.? Fletcher continues, ?What manner of men were these who thus founded the Royal Horticultural Society? Four were amateur gardeners and one of the four an eminent botanist; two were professional gardeners; the other a nurseryman and seedsman; and with one possible exception they were all quite remarkable apart from their connection with the Society and their horticultural interests? (Fletcher). Dated, 7 March 1804, the first printed document of the Society includes the following: ?It is now proposed to institute a Society for the sole purpose of encouraging HORTICULTURE in its different branches; to form a Repository for all the knowledge which can be collected on this Subject, and to give stimulus to the exertions of individuals for its farther improvement.? A second meeting was held a week later, and an 'anniversary' meeting on 30 May by which time 97 members had been enrolled. That first document, the list of members, plus the ballot for electing council members, are all present here. The remainder of the album is a rich digest of material documenting the growth and administration of this vital organisation, which would naturally come to open its own garden and this volume includes material relating to that. The Society opened its garden in 1823. Provenance: Sir Thomas Gery Cullum, Bart. Fletcher, H.R., The Story of the Royal Horticultural Society, 1804-1968, (OUP, 1969), pp.22-23.
