A SELECTION FROM THE LIBRARY

OF

LODDIGES OF HACKNEY

"The death a short time ago of Mr. C. Loddiges, of Hackney, and the sale auction this week by Messrs. Puttick & Simpson of his fine botanical and miscellane library, may be said to terminate a long, honourable, and highly interesting pha in the history of Hackney. What Gerarde was to Holborn, Tradescant to Lambet Lee to Hammersmith, Curtis to Brompton, and Rollison to Tooting, the Loddig were to Hackney. But the Loddiges were greater benefactors to horticultural scith than all their prototypes and rivals put together. For very many years they w both in enterprise and in the extent of their business, far and away the leading fir of English nurserymen and plant introducers. It would be an exaggeration to that they revolutionized English gardening; but they developed it in a very remarkab nanner. W. R.”—The Athenæum, February, 1899.
