Thomas Andrew Knight
Founder of the Royal Horticultural
Society
N. B. Bagenal
Thomas Andrew Knight , who died a hundred years ago last month, is one of the fathers of English horticulture. He was a Herefordshire man, bred cherries and other fruits, and also farm animals. An experimenter all his life in every kind of subject connected with plant and animal life, he read in 1795 his first recorded paper to the Royal Society on the grafting of fruit trees. In 1805 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and in 1806 was awarded the Copley Medal for his papers on vegetable physiology. For twenty-seven years, from 1811 to his death in 1838, he was President of the Royal Horticultural Society, of which he was one of the founders. His memory is still cherished in the Society by the Knightian medals which are distributed for excellence in the arts which he adorned.
Mr. Bagenal, who is to give this talk, is on the staff of the East Mailing Research Station, belonging to the Kent Incorporated Society for promoting experiments in horticulture.
