NOTES
From his years of work in Western China in the early 1900s, Ernest Henry Wilson introduced numerous new plants to the gardens of Europe and North America. In this book the author describes expeditions on behalf of the famous nursery of Veitch & Sons to find and collect seeds, bulbs, plants and also herbarium material for Kew Gardens. He paints a vivid picture of the natural history of the region and of the culture and customs of the people.-Print ed
