Fletcher, of Whitton, near Jedburgh, recorded dates of sowing, germination, blossoming and places of origin of plants in his garden, and occasionally the agent from whom they were obtained. He checked his own varieties against a list of rare species, noted seeds that could be imported from the North American colonies, especially Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland, and from Spain and Aleppo, Syria.
