Exhibition of American Plants at the Royal Botanical Society's Gardens, Regent's-Park, [London], 1850. '...not less than from 6000 to 7000 persons were present...The object of the Royal Botanic Society in awarding so much prominence to the American flowers is to give an impetus to the sale of these plants, as being admirably adapted for ornamental lawns. Some of the plants are from forty to fifty years old...Among the objects which will, in the future exhibitions, excite the greatest attention, is the Viburnum which has just arrived from China. Messrs. Staudish and Noble, by whom it was conveyed to this country at great expense, are also about to bring from China, at an expense of not much less than £400, a magnificent tree of the ornamental fir kind, and which is to form part of the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park in 1851'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
