Notes:
[From The Old Rose Advisor, by Brent Dickerson, p. 145:] Born February 11, 1825, at Bollendorf, a hamlet near la Sare on the border of Luxembourg, Mons Notting passed his youth in very modest circumstances. From his most tender years, he evinced a passion for flowers... In 1845, he settled in Luxembourg, and labored as friend and worker at Mons Wilhelm's establishment, where he worked until 1855.
