Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Peter Henderson, Gardener Author Merchant: A Memoir In the preparatory announcement of this memoir, it was stated that it only professed to outline the magnitude of Peter Henderson´s services to American horticulture. Those familiar with my deceased fathers career, will quickly perceive that I have kept within the boundaries of that announcement. Further, I fully realize how much of his labors in many directions have not been touched upon at all. The original intention was to prepare a larger, and I had hoped a more thorough and careful record of his life. It was, however, suggested, that as such a volume from its size would preclude a large distribution, it would be more satisfactory at this time if an abridged sketch was prepared which could be placed in the hands of every one who had known him in any or all of his various relations to horticulture. I have, therefore, prepared this memoir on the lines suggested, and in begging your acceptance of it, I am conscious that the story has been but crudely told. At the same time I shall feel satisfied if I have succeeded in emphasizing the declaration made by one of his many eulogists that "Peter Henderson justly earned the honor, gratitude and respect of the greatest of nations."
