Abstract

OTHERS will have expressed their appreciation of Sir Arthur Hill's eminence as a botanist; I knew him best as a man and a gardener. What was most distinctive of him was the very wide circle of friends to whom he was “Arthur”. He had a gift for friendship and as his official position at Kew brought him into contact with the lovers of gardens and trees, not only in Great Britain but also all over the English–speaking world, these acquaintances ripened easily and at once into something warmer and more intimate.
