Archive image from page 369 of Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising. Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofam04bail Year: 1900 1798 THORBURN seed store in New York, it was arranged that Inglis sliould grow seeds also. This was in 1805; and in that year Inglis, as an experiment, had grown a lot of seeds. Thorburn bought these seeds for $15; and thus arose the first regular seed store in New York, and one of the first in the United States. The eeds and plants continued to sell, and Thorburn was obliged to import seeds. In 1805 or 1806 he ob- tained a catalogue of William Malcolm & Co., London, the first plant catalogue he had ever seen, and he then published one of his own. This led to more pretentious writing, and 'The Gentleman and Gardener's Kalendar' was the first outcome. The third edition of this, in 1821. by 'Grant Thorburn, Seedsman and Florist, ' contains the advertisement of 'G. Thorburn & Son, ' dealers in seeds, implements and rural books. Grant Thorburn was a prolific writer for the current press on a variety of topics, under the nom de plume of Laurie Todd. He was a unique character, and his his- tory, â'mixed with much fiction, ' as he himself says, - was the basis of John Gait's tale in three volumes (London, 1830) of 'Lawrie Todd, or Settlers in the Woods.' Thorburn left a most interesting autobio- graphy, which was published in New Y'ork in 18.52. He died in New Haven, Conn., January 21, 1863, at the age of 90. The portrait in Plate XL is reproduced from his autobiography. L H. B. THOBN. See Crntwgns. Christ's T. is PaUurus Spina-Christi. Jerusalem T. is PaUurus Spinn- Christi; also Parkinsnnin aeuleata.
