Veitch Catalogues For Sale

Some of the Veitch catalogues held in my collection are very rare and possibly unique and this is partly why I have decided to start the process of reprinting them for wider circulation. It is hoped that they will be a useful aid for those interested in garden history and the development of plant introductions particularly during the Victorian period.

Please note that ALL plants are only despatched within the UK
of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
