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.
