Administrative History

Planting Fields Foundation came into custody of this Collection when William Robertson Coe,owner of the Collection, passed away in 1955.

Biographical Notes

The tenth of ten children, William Robertson was born on June 8, 1869 inEngland. He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1883. He began workingin the mail office of what would become Johnson and Higgins Insurance Company andworked his way up to President and then Chairman of the Board. He married three times,and unfortunately his first two wives passed away before their time. His first marriage,which was childless, was to Jane (Jeannie) Hutchinson Falligant, in 1893. On June 4,1900, Coe married Mai Huttleston Rogers. Their marriage produced four children andthe development of Planting Fields. He leased and eventually purchased the Byrneestate, on the same property of today’s Planting Fields. That house burned down and CoeHall was built in the same location. Mai died in 1924. In 1926, Coe married CarolineGraham Slaughter. At Planting Fields, W.R. Coe was actively involved with developingand improving the collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, and hibiscus. Coehad a particular liking for new plant varieties and modern growing techniques. In thisspirit, he deeded the estate to the State of New York in 1949. W.R. Coe died in hisrecently acquired home in Palm Beach, Florida, on March 15, 1955 from an asthmaattack.
