[From Tagebuch einer der Kultur und Industrie gewidmeten Reise, by Philipp Andreas Nemnich, Vol. 3, 1809, p. 204:] Vor ungefähr siebzig Jahren, hat Cornelis Stegerhoek in Noordwyk, eine Art erfunden, um verschiedene Grünigkeiten künstlich zu trocknen. Es ist daraus eine sehr beliebte und gangbare Waare geworden, die aus folgenden Artikeln besteht:...Endlich werden auch Hahnbutten (Roozebottels) getrocknet; sie werden halb durchschnitten, der Saamen herausgenommen, und dann auf den Ofen gelegt. Ausser dem einheimischen Verbrauch, wird vieles von diesen nüßlichen Artikeln, nach Rußland, und überhaupt nach dem Norden, wie auch nach Westindien etc. versandt. Das Geschäft wird von Cornelis Stegerhoek, dem Enkel des obigen, fortgesetzt.
[About seventy years ago, Cornelis Stegerhoek in Noordwyk invented a way to artificially dry various greens. It has become a very popular and viable product, which consists of the following items:...Finally, Rose hips are being dried; they are cut in half, the seeds taken out, and then placed on the stove. In addition to domestic consumption, many of these nutty articles are exported to Russia, and shipped generally to the North, as well as to the West Indies etc. The business is continued by Cornelis Stegerhoek, grandson of the above.]

[From Journal of a Horticultural Tour, 1823, p. 179-180:] ...the rose-gardens of Noordwyck are distinguished for their extent chiefly, and not for the number of varieties of rose-tree cultivated. The great object of the cultivators is the collecting of petals of the flowers, to be used in perfumery and in medicine....There are three extensive rose cultivators at Noordwyck; but the most distinguished is Mr. Cornelis Stegerhoek, who has, during the greater part of a long life, been engaged in this pleasing branch of rural economy...Mr. Stegerhoek has in his time raised many seedling rose-trees, and has selected from among them several which were remarkable for the variegation, beauty, or fulness of the flowers. These he at different times communicated to Messrs Lee and Kennedy of Hammersmith...
