Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908.","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.","Materials were arranged in chronological order and then placed in pH neutral folders and boxes. Damaged, fragile and high use items were placed in polyester sleeves.","Michael A. Spencer donated collections on Henry Nehrling to the University of Central Florida Libraries in 2006. The finding aid can be found  here .","The University of Central Florida Libraries purchased materials related to Henry Nehrling from the Mickler estate in 1999. The finding can be found  here .","Nehrling wrote several books that may be found by searching the UCF Libraries  online catalog .","Other materials about Henry Nehrling are held in repositories at  Rollins College ,  Winter Park Public Library ,  Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Library ,  Orange County Regional History Center  and the Koreshan Collection.","Early 1920s, Betty Nehrling returned to New York for a visit while Henry made a visit to the Koreshan Community. With his financial condition deteriorating, Nehrling decided to extend his time in South Florida. It is during this period of time, 1923-1929, that the bulk of the correspondence takes place. Seventeen of the letters are in Henry Nehrling's hand. They offer his wife an ever-hopeful view of his endeavors. Often addressing her as \"my dearest sweetheart,\" or its German equivalent. Henry Nehrling mentions that he has recently planted 50,000 caladiums, or that he had received an order for caladiums from Kenya. Collection also contains a few letters mention about visits from the Edisons, Colliers, or David Fairchild. Meanwhile, the letters from Betty plead for funds and make mention of problems in paying creditors. Other correspondence tells a similar tale. Clayton C. Townes, a mayor of Cleveland, Ohio and a financial backer of the gardens, writes to Betty Nehrling that when he visited Henry near Naples, he found him living in conditions \"not fit for a human being.\" A bank statement from June of 1928 included in the collection shows a balance of just 4 cents.","\nOther highlights in the collection include a portrait of Henry Nehrling (1915), a photograph labeled \"Dr. Nehrling at Naples after 10 weeks of typhoid and pneumonia\", a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell (Undated) mounted on board, and two copies of a group photograph taken in Miami of John Kunkel Small, H. H. Hume, Henry Nehrling, David Fairchild, and Theodore L. Mead, at the time Nehrling was presented with the Frank N. Meyer Medal for Plant Genetic Resources. A twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from the guest book belonging to \"Mrs. H. Nehrling / Palm Cottage Gardens\" (1925- ca. 1934). Number of the photographs in this album also record the freeze damage in 1916-17. Coincidentally, David Fairchild visited Nehrling in late March of 1917. At least ten of the photographs here were taken by Fairchild and bear typewritten descriptions of what he saw during his visit to the Gardens that winter.\nThe importance of this particular collection is that it provides insight into the familial and financial affairs of the Nehrling Gardens. It also offers a look at Henry Nehrling during the tumultuous years of Florida's boom and bust, and a glimpse of his failing physical and mental state while he sought refuge in a quiet communal colony in Southwest Florida.","\nThese papers are divided into four series by type of document:","\nSeries I: Writings, 1914-1929, consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence between Henry Nehrling and and his second wife Betty Pooler Mitchell Nehrling. Series also includes letters between individuals other than Nerhling, which were collected by Nehrling family.","\nSeries II: Business and Personal Documents, 1913-1932, consists of financial affairs of the Nehrling gardens in Gotha, Florida. Series holds correspondence and financial papers such as insurance bills, tax receipts, bank checks, and a lease agreement.","\nSeries III: Photographs, 1907-1934, Twenty-three pages of a photograph album called My Memory Book contains photographs, newsclippings, and three leaves from a guest book at Palm Cottage Gardens. Collection also includes postcards, a self-portrait of Betty Pooler Mitchell and a photograph of caladiums in Henry Nehrling's garden in Gotha, Florida.","\nSeries IV: Publications, 1855-1896, contains two books from Henry Nehrling's personal library; Reports of explorations and surveys to ascertain the most practicable and economic route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean (1855) and volume II of Our native birds of song and beauty (1896); inscribed by the author to his second wife, \"Betty P.

Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts. It was also during this period that he began submitting articles to The American Eagle, the newspaper of a communal colony near Fort Myers. The community itself was founded by a man as Cyrus Teed (1839-1908) who took the name \"Koresh\" in 1869. Sometime in that year, Teed believed he had been visited by a divine spirit who told him that he was the messiah. In his new incarnation, developed a variety of offbeat religious and scientific ideas that he called Koreshanity. Among the other things, he denounced the idea that the Earth revolved around the sun, and later on the beaches of West Florida, made measurements and calculations that \"proved\" his theory that human beings live on the inside of our planet, not the outside. Along with that theory - called Cellular Cosmogony - Koreshanity preached alchemy, reincarnation, immortality, celibacy, communism and a few other radical ideas. At its peak, 1905-1908, his community of followers at Estero numbered about 250. One of the interests of the Koreshan Community was in plants and horticulture. The colony's newspaper, The American Eagle, began publishing extensively in the field of tropical plants and gardenning, and Henry Nehrling became a regular contributor throughout the 1920s.","\nDue to financial problems, Henry Nehrling returned to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetary near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas.

Nehrling (1853-1929), a native of Wisconsin, whose interest in birds and natural history led him to become known as \"the Audubon of Wisconsin.\" It was his interest in exotic flora; however, that brought him to Florida, first of all for part-time experiments, and later as a full time resident. In the 1880s, Nehrling purchased acreage near the village of Gotha, in Central Florida, and began experimenting with tropical and subtropical plants. A few years later, in 1904, having vacated his position as director of the Public Museum of Milwaukee, Nehrling moved permanently to Florida. His garden there became a popular destination for many of Florida's early visitors and settlers. Soon Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Edison and David Fairchild, among others, had all found their way to Nehrling's Palm Cottage Gardens. The garden became Florida's first experimental botanical garden, where Dr. Nehrling tested over 3,000 new and rare plants for the United States Department of Agriculture. Of these, 3,000 new plants were introduced into Florida's landscape, including caladiums, hybrid amaryllis, and gloriosa lilies. These plants became the foundation to Florida's thriving nursery industry.\nFollowing the death of his first wife, Sophia, in 1911, Nehrling met Betty Pooler Mitchell during a visit to the small, mostly German-speaking village of DeKalb, in northwestern New York. The two were married in the town on June 7, 1916. Unfortunately for the newlyweds, the Florida winter of 1916-17 was one of the worst on record. Some locations in Florida recorded more than two weeks of temperatures below freezing and and as low as 16 degrees for a sustained period. The results at Palm Cottage Gardens were devastating.","\nDuring the next few years of rebuilding, Nehrling evidently incurred substantial debts.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor. In 1970, plans were made for a 20th Birthday celebration to be held in Southern California and hosted by the five Affiliates in the Los Angeles area. It was to feature an \"all bromeliad show\". This celebration led to future Bromeliad World Conferences. The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\"","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor. In 1970, plans were made for a 20th Birthday celebration to be held in Southern California and hosted by the five Affiliates in the Los Angeles area. It was to feature an \"all bromeliad show\". This celebration led to future Bromeliad World Conferences. The Bromeliad Society has sponsored and funded many exceptional improvements to the future of bromeliads, and strives to ever improve the knowledge and appreciation of bromeliads for its members and the general public.","List of past Bromeliad World Conferences:","\n1972 Houston, Texas - First acknowledged Bromeliad Conference","\n1975 25th Anniversary Celebration, Buena Park, California","\n1977 New Orleans, Louisiana","\n1980 Orlando, Florida - 30th Birthday celebration","\n1982 Corpus Christi, Texas - \"Bromeliaceae Ole\"","\n1984 Los Angeles, California - \"Bromelympics\"","\n1986 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"One Mo' Time\"","\n1988 Miami, Florida - \"Miami Magic\"","\n1990 Houston, Texas - Bromeliads in Space\"","\n1992 Tampa, Florida - \"Bromeliad Safari\"","\n1994 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n1996 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '96\"","\n1998 Houston, Texas - \"Bromeliad Roundup\"","\n2000 San Francisco, California - \"50th Birthday Celebration\"","\n2002 St. Petersburg, Florida - \"Bromeliad Beach Party\"","\n2004 Chicago, Illinois","\n2006 San Diego, California - \"Bromeliads on the Border\"","\n2008 Cairns, Australia - \"Bromeliads Down Under\"","\n2010 New Orleans, Louisiana - \"Bromeliads in the Big Easy\"","2012 Orlando, Florida - \"Orlandiana '12\"","\n2014 Honolulu, Hawaii - \"Bromeliads in Paradise\"","\n2018 San Diego, California - \"Fiesta de las Bromelias\"","Collection processed by Suphi Burak Ogreten; finding aid prepared by Suphi Burak Ogreten.

Each took advantage of what the other had to offer. Bromeliad history tells us that Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and bumped into a new world. With his boat filled with goodies from the tropics, Columbus sailed the ocean again and managed to bump into his homeland, Spain. His Queen sent him back to the new world, and on his return trip he took a vicious looking plant with long, spiny leaves and a luscious sweet fruit growing from the center of the leaves. Christopher brought his Queen a pineapple. The first bromeliad to leave the new world.","Other adventures and explorers followed and returned to their homeland with wonders never seen before. Some of the wonders were tropical plants and many of them became known as bromeliads. Thus, the Bromeliacea family was described; and slowly over the years, its popularity invaded the United States. Bromeliad Society began in 1948 when Mr. Joseph Schneider of San Gabrial, California asked the organizer of Round Robins for the Flower Grower if she could get a group together who were interested in bromeliads. She placed a call for members of her Round Robin which brought an immediate response from Miss Victoria Padilla and Mrs. Sue Hutchinson who were soon followed by seven others, and they in turn brought four more. This group formed a Round Robin, exchanging their experiences with bromeliads by correspondence with one another for approximately two years. In the spring of 1950, a call was sent out to all members of the Round Robin, and others interested in bromeliads to attend a pot luck dinner at the home of Mrs. Doroth Behrends in Los Angeles, California on May 21st to discuss the suggestion made by Mr. Schneider that a Bromeliad Society be organized. There were fourteen enthusiastic bromeliad people in attendance. The meeting was called to order by Victoria Padilla. It was decided to hold an organizational meeting the following September.","The September 17, 1950 meeting was held on a Sunday afternoon in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Overton in Glendale, California. Twenty one prospective members attended, with a surprise guest, Mr. Mulford Foster of Orlando, Florida. This group organized not just a local society, but an international society for the benefit of bromeliad enthusiasts all over the world. The first officers elected were: President, Mulford Foster; First Vice President, David Barry, Jr.; Second Vice President, Russell J. Seibert; Secretary, Victoria Padilla, and Treasurer, Frank H. Overton. In addition to the officers, Lyman B. Smith, H. B. Trau, Elmer J. Lorenz and Morris Schick were asked to serve on the Board of Directors. A Board of Honorary Trustees was elected, all of them from different countries.","This meeting was a fire of enthusiasm. In a very short time, the membership grew from less than thirty local Californians to an international group of nearly 100 charter members, representing the following countries; Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Canal Zone, Costa Rica, France, Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States. First year was used to establish By-laws, goals, to build a membership and a treasury. The first Life Member of this new Society was Franklin M. DeVoe of Gulf Hammock, Florida. In January 1951, less than a year later, President Mulford Foster because editor of the The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, a bi-monthly publication to be sent to all members. Annual dues for membership remained $3.50 until March-April 1963 when the dues were increased to $4.00.","In November 1951, a local group organized The Southern California Bromeliad Society and became the first Affiliate of The Bromeliad Society. Early in 1953, The Bromeliad Society announced that it had been duly incorporated under the laws of the State of California as a non-profit organization. The March-April 1954 issue of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin announced that The Louisiana Bromeliad Society had applied for affiliation with The Bromeliad Society. December 1955 Bulletin, acknowledged the third affiliate, The Florida West Coast Bromeliad Society, and in the May-June 1959 Bulletin, The South Florida Bromeliad Society was established with Nat DeLeon President.","In the ten year period, The Bromeliad Society had grown to a membership of over 400, 100 of which were members living in countries other than the United States. In the United States, three states led in membership and activity: Florida (90 members), California (80 members) and Louisiana (30 members). There were four Affiliates, 2 in Florida, one in California, and one in Louisiana.","In the ensuing years The Bromeliad Society followed the rugged path of progress. Victoria Padilla became Editor of The Bromeliad Society Bulletin, and color pictures were introduced in 1960. In 1964, all cover pictures of the Bulletin were presented in color. In 1971, The Bromeliad Society Bulletin was given a new name, Journal of the Bromeliad Society. Victoria Padilla continued as Editor.

While his Father was in the navy, George's family lived at Pearl Harbor, and he witnessed the 1941 attack. George himself served in the navy for more than three years as a weather forecaster; for part of the time he was on the USS Bairoko. After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in meteorology in 1955, George Millay worked for a stockbroking firm until 1960. He married Anne Real in 1963; they eventually had three sons and a daughter.","\nIn 1958, Millay opened the Reef restaurant in Los Angeles with David Tallichet. He planned to create a submarine bar there so that customers could view sea creatures while enjoying cocktails. The plan failed because the water in the harbor was too cloudy. However, his interest in marine life introduced him to Dr. Kenneth Norris, curator at Marineland. Together with Milton Shedd and David DeMott, they organized the Marine Park Corporation to create a marine park in San Diego. Sea World opened in 1964 and expanded in 1970 with a park in Ohio followed by the Orlando park in 1972. Sea World Inc. opened an amusement park in Valencia California on 29th May 1971 in partnership with Newhall Land and Farming. Officially named \"Magic Mountain\", the park was designated \"Tragic Mountain\" by a reporter who was injured there. Sea World did not make a profit on the venture and sold out to its partner late in 1971.

His walks to and from a Lutheran parochial school several miles from his home gave him an opportunity to develop a passionate interest in birds and plants. He completed a teacher education program at the Lutheran Teacher's Seminary in Addison, Illinois and taught in Illinois, Missouri and Texas. Nehrling married Sophia Schoff of Oak Park, Illinois on July 20, 1874 and they had nine children. Their eldest son, Walter, became a professor of Botany at Illinois State Normal School. Henry Nehrling was an original member of the American Ornithologist's Union formed in 1883.","\nWhile living in Houston, Texas from 1879, Nehrling first had the opportunity of growing tropical plants. In 1887, he was appointed deputy collector and inspector of customs at the port of Milwaukee where he remained for three years until he accepted the post of Custodian of the Public Museum in Milwaukee where he collected plant specimens for their greenhouse. He purchased land in Gotha, Florida in 1884, but did not visit the property until 1886. Slowly, as his finances allowed, he developed the property into an ornamental garden. At the Columbian Exposition of 1893, Nehrling had the opportunity of examining many tropical plants and trees and became fascinated with the fancy-leafed caladium. Through a South American horticulturist, Adolph Lietz, Nehrling acquired hundreds of Brazilian caladium specimens. These were first housed in his greenhouse in Milwaukee but were later moved to Gotha. Nehrling created new hybrid caladiums which he named in honor of his wife, the \"Mrs. Sophie Nehrling,\" his son the \"Arno Nehrling\" and his daughter-in-law \"Mrs. Arno Nehrling.\"","\nNehrling lost his position with the Public Museum of Milwaukee and permanently settled in Gotha in 1904. where he also began to experiment with the colorful annual flowering Amaryllis. He grew, hybridized, and popularized many unusual and exotic plants for the general public. Caladiums, palms, bamboo, and amaryllis were all introduced to the United States by way of his Palm Cottage Gardens. Nehrling collaborated with the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction, which was part of what was then called the Bureau of Plant Industry. Through this connection, Nehrling was able to expand his international contacts and gather information, plants and seeds from tropical horticulturists around the world. Nehrling's garden became so well known that people like John Burroughs, Thomas Edison, and Theodore Roosevelt came to visit and learn gardening tips. Nehrling's wife, Sophia, died on November 11, 1911, and on June 7, 1916 he married Betty P. Mitchell. A freeze in 1917 killed many of his most valuable plants; to avoid a recurrence, he purchased property in Naples, Florida where he could safely grow tropical species. He settled there in 1922 and by 1925, Nehrling had over three thousand species of tropical plants. Financial problems forced him to return to Gotha where he died on November 22, 1929 and was buried in Woodlawn cemetery near Gotha. His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.","\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908.","Collection processed by Judith Beale; finding aid prepared by Judith Beale, Dannie Helm, and Blair Jackson.\t ","Materials were arranged in pH neutral folders and boxes.

His garden in Naples was preserved as the Jungle Larry's Caribbean Gardens and some efforts have been made to preserve his Palm Cottage Gardens in Gotha.","\nNehrling always wrote about his interests; he wrote articles on birds for the Nuttall Ornithological Club in Texas. In 1922, he began writing columns for The American Eagle, a weekly newspaper published in Estero, Florida. His first book Orchids in South Florida was published in 1890 and was followed a year later by Die Nordamerikanische Vogelwelt (North American Bird Life). Two volumes of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty were published in 1893 and 1896 respectively. His next work, Die Amaryllis oder Rittersterne (Hippeastrum) (The Amaryllis), was published in 1908."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHenry Nehrling Papers, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Henry Nehrling Papers, Special Collections and University Archives, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCollection processed by Judith Beale; finding aid prepared by Judith Beale, Dannie Helm, and Blair Jackson.\t \u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eMaterials were arranged in pH neutral folders and boxes.
