[From The Garden, January 15, 1876, p. 72:] In the autumn of 1855, Mr. Stuart Low, then in America, bought all the young plants [of Picea parsoniana] which we were willing to spare.
[From The Garden, July 5, 1890, p. xii:] Mr. Stuart Henry Low, to whose memory we dedicate the Thirty-seventh Volume of THE GARDEN, was one of four sons of Mr. Hugh Low, the founder of the house, who died in 1863, aged seventy years. Only one brother now survives, viz., Sir Hugh Low, who was for many years British Resident at Perak, in the Straits Settlements. Mr. Stuart H. Low, who was born on January 4, 1826, in early life went to sea. On the death of his brother James, which took place about thirty-five years ago, he gave up seafaring life, and joined his father in business. His father was a man of considerable enterprise, but it was left to Stuart Low to render the Clapton Nurseries famous. His whole energy was thrown into the work, and travellers scoured all parts of the globe in search of new plants. Mexico and California were requisitioned for Conifers, which at one time were as important at Clapton as the Orchids. New Holland plants, which were at one time in great request, were also well taken care of. In 1862 and up till the present time travellers have been sent from the Clapton Nurseries to Borneo, Brazil, Mexico, the Philippine Islands, etc., to find new things. To Mr. Low we owe some of the most beautiful Orchids that to-day brighten our stoves and hothouses.
[From The American Florist, October 5, 1893, p. 189:] Mr. Hugh Low, of the famous Clapton Nursery, England, died suddenly from pneumonia September 17, aged 33 years. He was the oldest son of Mr. Stuart Low, and leaves a widow and two little daughters. He was a member of the committee of the Royal Gardeners' Orphan Fund, but otherwise took no active part in public horticultural affairs.
