DONATION BIKES GIVEN TO FAMILIES By Millie Seiber Many years ago I bought a book titled "The Plant Hunters" by Tyler Whittle. It opened new doors to me as a plant person. Somebody went out to a forest, a jungle, a desert, or a mountain and bought back either an in- teresting plant they found or seeds that could be grown. I guess my imagina- tion caught fire as I read about their feats of endur- ance. Collecting plants and seeds, whether in the midst of some other ob- jective — such as being a missionary, a trader or some other occupation — was not an easy task. Most of the early plant hunters were cold, hun- gry, in danger, and even sometimes lost while they were following a trail in pursuit of a particular plant. Having done a bit of collecting in other coun- tries myself over the years I can empathize with these previous collectors with regard to the diffi- culties which can arise, although I can't say I had that many difficul- ties. Most of my collect- ing was of cacti and the other succulents, a lot of it in Mexico and some in South America and South Africa. There have been any number of plant hunt- ers, starting with Queen Hatsepsut of Egypt, who wanted Frankincense, the gum of a tree named Boswellia. While not ex- actly a plant hunter herself, she did send five ships sailing south which returned with quantities of seeds and plants — many Boswell- ias and other living trees. Thirty-one of the trees were established in the Queen's gardens at Karnak where an official record was carved on the walls to mark the success of the expedition. There are many names of plant hunters that stand out, such as Bar- tram, Dahl, Hooker, Banks, Collinson — the list goes on, but some re- alty got my attention. One of these is Ernest H. Wil- son. China Wilson, as he be- came known, was an Eng- lishman who was inter- ested in plants from an early age. He was rec- ommended to the Veitch nursery firm and received a thorough grounding in all the knowledge a plant collector needed to know starting with plant rec- ognition, stowing and transport of specimens, and the use of a camera. He proved to be an excel- lent photographer but in- sisted on always using a full-plate camera, which proved to be a great deal of a trial to use in some circumstances. His first trip for Veitch sent him to collect seeds and trees of Davidia invo- lucrata, sometimes called the Dove tree because its blooms looked like white doves in the tree. On this first expedition to China in 1890 he not only found and brought back Da- vidia involucrata but two other varieties of Da- vidia. While he was in the area he spent some time with another bota- nist in China, Dr. Augus- tine Henry, who was able to help him with local knowledge. Wilson concentrated so much on his work that he typically ignored what was going on around him politically. While he was taking pictures of Davidia there was a lot of mur- dering and looting taking place known as the Boxer Rebellion. All this meant to Wilson was he had to keep within a certain area. During this time he collected the seeds of 305 other plants, 35 Wardian cases of tubers, corms, bulbs, rhyzomes and root- stocks and the dried, pressed herbarium mate- rial of 906 plant species. He had a long and il- lustrious career as a plant hunter and was finally awarded with the posi- tion of Keeper at he Ar- nold Arboretum. The one story of his many exploits that has stuck in my mind from the first is when he almost gave his life for a regal lily which he intro- duced to the West from a single desolate valley high in the Chinese prov- ince of Szechwan. He and his coolies were re- turning from the valley through wild hill country when a boulder suddenly dropped from the hillside above them and broke his leg in two places. He was in a bad situation: suffering from the frac- tures, still many days from the nearest medi- cal help and attended by coolies who would have deserted him if they had thought it worth their while. They fixed him up RED BLUFF GARDEN CLUB Myheroes–theplanthunters GARDEN » PAGE 7 Frank Wolf was arrested Thursday afternoon for dis- turbing the peace. He was arraigned before Justice of the Peace E. F. Lennon and his bail was fixed at $100, which he immediately fur- nished. Wolf showed the effect of drink and had been quar- reling with several people which led to his arrest. His first quarrel was with D. E. Masterson on Main street relative to certain money matters. After this quarrel was subdued, Wolf started for his home and when he reached G. G. Stice's place of business began to quar- rel with Stice. Wolf became boisterous and made quite a scene. Stice phoned Marshal Gosneyandsworeoutawar- rant for Wolf's arrest. Marshal Gosney on going to Wolf's home was told that Wolf was not there. It later developed that he had gone to his ranch west of town. Sheriff Boyd was then noti- fied to make the arrest. Boyd telephoned Wolf and Wolf came to town and submit- ted to the officers. No date has yet been set for his trial. —Jan.7,1916 100 YEARS AGO...
