John Weathers

John Weathers was a British gardening author and editor born in 1867. The sources I found consistently connect him with horticultural writing rather than fiction, and his surviving books show a strong focus on practical instruction for gardeners and growers.

His published works include Beautiful Bulbous Plants for the Open Air and Commercial Gardening, and booksellers and library records also link his name with other garden reference works. That pattern suggests he wrote for readers who wanted dependable, experience-based guidance on cultivation, planting, and garden management.

I wasn’t able to confirm enough biographical detail from the available sources to safely add more about his personal life or career. What does come through clearly is his place in an older tradition of straightforward gardening books meant to be useful first and decorative second.
