After working with his father and grandfather at the Killerton estate, James junior was sent to London to train with nurserymen there for two years.

  • James Veitch ( 24 de mayo de 1815 – septiembre 1869) fue el tercero de una larga dinastía de horticultores ingleses, quienes establecieron la renombrada empresa familiar . Veitch era hijo de James Veitch; y nieto de John Veitch. Luego de entrenarse con su padre y su abuelo en la "granja , James junior se fue a Londres para seguir estudiando con viveristas durante dos años. A su retorno a Devon, James junior utilizó sus nuevas habilidades, para ayudar a su padre, en mejorar y ampliar el "Vivero de Exeter", y en reconocimiento a su contribución, fue nombrado socio en la guardería en 1838. Ese mismo año, James Jr. se casó con Harriott Gould, hija de un granjero de . La familia se había trasladado ya a su villa especialmente encargado, "Gras Lawn", cerca de la "Guardería Monte Radford". Los tallos múltiples de Sequoiadendron que adornaba el jardín frente a la residencia Veitch aún pueden verse hoy en día, ya que se eleva sobre un nuevo desarrollo de Barrack Road, Exeter. James Jr. pronto se dio cuenta de que , con base en Devon, no podía competir eficazmente con los grandes viveros de Londres, y en 1853 adquirió la firma "Royal Exotic Nursery" de Knight & Perry en de Chelsea (Londres). James Jr. fue un empresario industrioso y astuto, un horticultor experto. Entre otras contribuciones, promovió la formación de la RHS Comités Florales y de Frutos. Bajo su dirección, el "Real Vivero de Exóticas" se convirtió en el más grande de su tipo en Europa, debido principalmente a su división de la guardería en 11 secciones: orquídeas, helechos, plantas nuevas, decorativas, tropicales, de madera blanda, dura, boscosas, vid, multiplicación, semillas, y vidrieras. Cada uno produjo una amplia gama de plantas de la más alta calidad y fue supervisado por expertos. Al ampliarse el negocio, el vivero adquirió nuevos sitios, en: Feltham, Langley, . Con el tiempo, se hizo inviable ejecutar ambos sitios de la empresa; y en 1863, Exeter y Londres se convirtieron en independientes. En Exeter, James senior fue sucedido por su hijo menor Robert (1823–1855), y su rama pasó a ser . La sucursal de Londres tomó el nombre y allí James junior fue sucedido por sus hijos John Gould (1839–1870), Harry James (1840–1924), and Arthur (1844–1880). (es)
  • James Veitch (24 May 1815 – September 1869) was the third in a long line of horticulturists who established the renowned family business Veitch Nurseries. Veitch was the son of James Veitch and grandson of John Veitch. After working with his father and grandfather at the Killerton estate, James junior was sent to London to train with nurserymen there for two years. On his return to Devon, James junior used his new-found skills to help his father improve and expand the Exeter nursery, and in recognition of his contribution, he was made a partner in the nursery in 1838. In 1838 James Jnr married a farmer's daughter from Poltimore called Harriott Gould. The family had by now moved into their specially-commissioned villa, Gras Lawn, close to the Mount Radford nursery. The multi-stemmed Sequoiadendron which graced the front garden of the Veitch residence can still be seen today as it towers above a new development off Barrack Road, Exeter. James junior soon realised that Veitch & Sons, being based in Devon, could not compete effectively with the large London nurseries, and in 1853 he acquired the Royal Exotic Nursery business of Knight and Perry on the Kings Road in Chelsea, London. James junior was an industrious and astute businessman, a skilled horticulturist, and from 1856 to 1864, an active member of the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society. Among other contributions, he instigated the formation of the RHS Fruit and Floral Committees; and the Veitch Memorial Medal was founded in his honour. Under his guidance, the Royal Exotic Nursery became the largest of its kind in Europe, due mostly to his division of the nursery into 11 sections: orchid, fern, new plant, decorative, tropical, soft-wooded, hard-wooded, vine, propagating, seed and glass. Each produced a vast range of the highest quality plants and was overseen by a skilled foreman. As business expanded, the nursery acquired sites at Feltham, Langley and Coombe Wood. Eventually it became unfeasible to run both businesses side by side and in 1863 Exeter and London became independent. In Exeter, James senior was succeeded by his younger son, Robert (1823–1885), and this branch became Robert Veitch & Sons. The London branch took the name James Veitch & Sons and here James junior was succeeded by his sons John Gould (1839–1870), Harry James (1840–1924), and Arthur (1844–1880). The standard author abbreviation J.J.Veitch is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name. (en)
