One of his uncles, CG van Tubergen Jr., had extensive farmland to grow ornamental plants, and founded a daycare. Later, that family businessman enjoyed his company, and he worked since 1882. And they became associated, achieving a certain notoriety through the commercialization of the lesser-known and difficult-to-grow varieties, and also tubers. Especially the species of the genera Tulipa, Iris , Muscari , Scilla , Allium , richly represented. Between the two world wars, the company with its plant collectors, who, thanks to the mediation of the consuls in distant countries, obtained botanical materials in particular from Iran, South America, South Africa.

JMC Hoog was the son of a minister who, after the family had returned from the East Indies, occupied ministerial positions in various rural congregations. In order to be able to attend secondary education in Haarlem, Hoog was given shelter in that city by her mother's family, who had lived in the Zwanenburg country estate on the Leidsevaart since October 1868. One of his uncles, Cornelis Gerrit van Tubergen jr., Had made the grounds of the country estate suitable for the cultivation of ornamentals and founded a nursery there. When Hoog was staying at 'Zwanenburg', the CG van Tubergen jr company already enjoyed some fame by marketing less known and difficult to grow bulbous and tuberous plants.

Soon Hoog started cultivating plants himself from a hobby. After passing the final exam of the trade school, he was allowed to work at his nursery from 1882 onwards. In the early years he devoted himself with great diligence to the culture and trade of flower bulbs. The area of ​​cultivated land was continuously expanded, while the company received a good reputation at home and abroad, partly due to the participation in important exhibitions, for which Hoog provided the entries.

With some envy, Hoog viewed the rich assortment of the then renowned Haarlem firm EH Krelage & Zoon. This prompted him to import flower bulbs himself. From the botanical literature he learned about the probable location of exotic bulbous plants that are hardly known in the Netherlands. Then he got the address of Paul Graeber, a tree grower in Tashkent, who was willing to collect tulip bulbs - which grow in the steppes of Central Asia - and send them to Haarlem. Furthermore, Hoog knew of the existence of German and Austrian scientific expeditions, which mainly collected material for herbaria and insect collections. They, as well as private individuals who lived in the vicinity of the sites, collected large quantities of unique bulbous and tuberous plants in Central and Asia Minor in the years 1897-1914 for the company CG van Tubergen jr. Species of the genera Tulipa, Iris, Muscari, Scilla and Allium were particularly well represented. Between the two world wars, the company once again had plant collectors, who, partly thanks to the mediation of consuls in distant countries, collected much special botanical material, including in Iran, South America and South Africa.

From 1890, Hoog's younger brother Thomas Marinus (born 26-4-1873) also worked at the nursery. This focused on the domestic retail trade of seeds and flower bulbs, while he later specialized in hybridizing the imported crops. In this way numerous cultivars ('cultivars') arose from about 1900. Among them were novelties, which gained worldwide fame, such as colored freesias, the iris regular cycle types, the Dutch irises, cultivars of darwin, breeder, cottage, lily-flowered, kaufmanniana and fosteriana tulips, herald, tubergenii and nanus gladiolus, St. Bavo anemones and the amaryllis belladonna varieties. From 'Zwanenburg', the collected non-native bulbous, tuberous and root crops as well as the resulting cultivars were crossed all over the world. The CG van Tubergen Jr. company has made a very important contribution to the broadening of the Sortiment. For this merit, JMC Hoog - especially in England - was honored with important honors and honorary memberships.

In 1905, the brothers Hoog were admitted to the trade nursery by their uncle - who had no successors as a bachelor - as co-partners. After the death of CG van Tubergen Jr. in January 1919, both cousins ​​continued the business. In 1928, the company was converted into a public limited company. JMC and Th.M. Both then became directors of 'NV CG van Tubergen's Flower Bulb and Seed Trade' in Haarlem. In this capacity they have expanded the case even further. After their deaths in 1950 and 1948 respectively, their sons and grandsons continued the business, initially in Haarlem and since 1979 in Lisse.

On behalf of Van Tubergen NV, JMC Hoog published a book in 1947, entitled New bulbous and tuberous rooted plants, in which he summarized the results of his work. In addition to his daily work, Hoog held several board positions in horticultural trade organizations. He was considered an expert in the field of plant nomenclature. In addition, he was a city councilor of Haarlem (1915-1921) for the Christian-Historical Kiesvereeniging. He was also very interested in art and history. In later years he was known as a passionate collector of old Dutch tin, old furniture and paintings, drawings and Japanese prints. In addition, he has built up an interesting library with valuable books on floriculture.

Mr, J. Hoog received the Veitch Memorial Medal in 1924 for his work in introducing so many fine plants to cultivation.
