THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
FORESHADOWED RETIREMENT OF SIR HARRY J. 
VEITCH 
Sir Harry Vcitch, now that he has passed the age of three 
seore years and ten, reeognizes that he must soon give up 
some of his more strenuous duties in conneetion with his 
firm’s nursery business. The approaehing expiration of the 
lease of the Coombe Wood Nurser^^ has provided the oppor¬ 
tunity for determining what shall be the fate of the nurseries 
when Sir Harry ean no longer direct their management, and 
it has been decided to dispose of them by sale, though this 
may take some little time. Sir Harry has received many 
honours, one of the more recent being the knighthood con¬ 
ferred upon him by the King on the occasion of the Inter¬ 
national Exhibition at Chelsea last year. He has always 
exhibited the highest qualities, both in business and private 
life, and he enjoys the confidence and affectionate respect of 
every horticulturist .—Journal of Horticulture. 
Glenview, Ill., June 25, 1913. 
Your paper is indispensable to the nursery manager, and is always 
read from cover to cover, all ads included. From it have learned the 
greater part of the little I have found out about the business.
