- STERN, SIR FREDERICK CLAUDE (1884–1967), British banker.
Stern was a partner in the London banking house of stern Brothers.
His father, James Stern, and his older brother, Sir Albert Stern,
devoted their energies during World War I to the
construction of the newly invented tank, while Frederick had a
distinguished career on active service, mainly on the Turkish front.
During World War I he came into contact with Lloyd George
and served temporarily as his secretary during the Versailles Peace
Conference. He was knighted in 1956. Outside his professional life he
was widely known as a skillful and enthusiastic gardener, particularly
as a breeder of lilies and daffodils. At his country mansion, Highdown
House, near Worthing, West Sussex, Stern created a famous garden which
has been the subject of several books. After his death, his widow left
the house and grounds to the Worthing Council. He wrote extensively on
botanic subjects and was prominent in the Linnean Society and the Royal
Horticultural Society and was master of the Drapers' Co., one of
London's ancient guilds. Among his writings are Study of Genus
Paeonia (1946) and Snowdrops and Snowflakes (1956), a
study of the general Galanthus and Leucojum.
