Cornelis Gerrit van Tubergen (23 Feb 1845–25 Jan 1919) was owner of the “Zwanenburg nurseries” in Haarlem, Holland. His company was oriented on the collection, cultivation and distribution of “bulbous and tuberous” ornamental plants. At the end of 1897 he recruited Anton Kronenburg to collect plants for him. Kronenburg was of German origin, born in Koblenz, Germany (but with an Austrian passport), and had already lived 20 years in Palestine when he was engaged by van Tubergen. Kronenburg undertook altogether four collecting trips (Eastern Turkey 1899, Caucasus 1901–1902, Tadjikistan 1903, Alai-Pamir 1904) (Van Tubergen 1947, J.A.C. Hoog in litt.). Van Tubergen used the material collected during Kronenburg’s expedition to eastern Turkey in the year 1899 to create five, probably not entirely identical exsiccate series.[2]
Later C. G. Van Tubergen Ltd., Zwanenburg Nurseries, Haarlem, Holland. Established about 1881. Bulb growers specializing in Daffodils, Tulips and Irises. Breeders of Regeliocyclus Irises. One of the most famous nurseries in the world, bringing into cultivation all sorts of rare plants and having such a remarkable collection that it has been known among the trade as "The Museum." Mr, J. Hoog received the Veitch Memorial Medal in 1924 for his work in introducing so many fine plants to cultivation[3]
He started Tubergen company in 1869.[4]
