Hunnewell Horatio Hollis Hunnewell (July 27, 1810 – May 20, 1902), was a railroad financier, philanthropist, amateur botanist, and one of the most prominent horticulturists in America in the nineteenth century. Mr. Hunnewell was a partner in the private banking firm of Welles & Co. Paris, France controlled by his in-laws which specialized in trade finance between the two countries. Practicing horticulture for nearly six decades on his estate in Wellesley, Massachusetts, he was perhaps the first person to cultivate and popularize rhododendrons in the United States. ==Biography==

Hunnewell was a director of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1862-1871, railroad entrepreneur in Kansas beginning in the 1860s, and president of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad and Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern Railroad around 1880. He died at home in Wellesley on May 20, 1902, at age 91. Hunnewell was buried in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts, among his family. He married Isabella Pratt Welles and together they had nine children.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=H.H. Hunnewell, Railroad Baron and Garden Nut )〕
