In October 1891 Veitch embarked on a tour of inspection of the great Botanic and Public Gardens maintained by governments in various countries as well as visiting many private horticultural establishments to decide whether the Veitch gardens and nurseries might be enriched by further additions. He set off by way of Rome and Naples to Ceylon thence overland from Tuticorin to Lahore. He continued to Calcutta and on to the Straits Settlements. In Penang he visited the Botanic Gardens whose curator Charles Curtis was formerly employed by James Veitch & Sons as a plant collector before moving on to Singapore where he visited the Botanic Gardens. He then visited Johore before returning to Singapore in February 1892 when he climbed Bukit Timah the highest point on the island with Walter Fox curator of the Gardens. He then travelled to Buitenzorg West Java where he visited the Botanical Gardens. He also explored the crater of Kawah Papandajan volcano and visited Lake Bagendit near Garoet. His travels then took him to Japan where he met Charles Sprague Sargent of the Arnold Arboretum and they undertook a joint plant collecting expedition including ascending the Hakkoda Mountains together. After visiting Korea he reached Australia in 1893. However he found Australia disappointing and wrote that it was easier to collect seed in Japan where there was cheap labour; in Australia "no one will help". He complained that the seeds of many plants "were so tiny he did not know if he was collecting seed or dust". He sent to Kew a collection of dried specimens of 250 species from Western Australia. Later he visited the North Island of New Zealand before returning to England in July 1893. . Signed by Author. First Edition. Cloth. Fair. Printed for Private Circulation Hardcover

McPhail was gardener to Lord Hawkesbury at Addiscombe Place in Surrey. The brick frame was of his own design and a notable feature of this book is the detailed weather observations covering a complete year together with the precise treatment given to the plants on each day. The frame proved immensely popular and within 40 years Rogers 1839 was to state " an excellent invention that has certainly rendered the forcing of this vegetable more simple.there are few gentleman's gardens and few principal market gardens without them". .
