Sažetak
Horticulture in the 19th century was marked by great progress in terms of advanced technologies of heated greenhouses that allowed the cultivation and propagation of allochthonous or exotic ornamental species, but also vegetable and fruit crops for which there was great interest at the time as a result of the physiocratic idea earlier in the 18th century. The aim of this research is to inventory useful horticultural taxa that were grown on the island of Lokrum during the reign of Archduke, later Mexican Emperor Ferdinand Maximilian Habsburg (1832-1867), within the ornamental Lokrum gardens that are protected as a special reserve of forest vegetation. The method of research of original archival documents (written and graphic) was used. A total of 36 fruit taxa were inventoried, of which 13 were autochthonous, 23 allochthonous, and 9 allochthonous vegetable crops and cereals. Maximilian applied the concept of "usefulness and comfort" in Lokrum gardens, according to the ferme ornée concept. His idea was to grow on the Island culture Saccharum x sinense. Of the fruit crops introduced for the first time in this part of the Adriatic are: Ananas comosus, Musa x paradisiaca, Musa acuminata and Citrus reticulata 'Avana'. As early as 1863, a large plantation of Solanum tuberosum and Fagopyrum esculentum was planted on Lokrum, an olive grove with 5 autochthonous varieties and a vineyard with variety of Malvasia from Madeira, Vitis vinifera 'Malvasia Fina’. This research of Maximilian's useful gardens can serve as a starting point for the restoration process that awaits these gardens.
