The Weekly Florists' Review. 



NOVEMBER 24, 1898. 



BERLIN, ONT. 



DAYTON, O. 



Mr. J. B. Heiss was j-ecently vic- 

 timized by the palm swindler. The 

 method was about the same that has 

 been successfully worked in other 

 cities. The swindler ordered a load of 

 palms delivered to the residence of a 

 well known citizen. He met the de- 

 livery wagon at the gate and helped 

 carry the palms icto the yard, having 

 previously obtained permission from 

 the people of the house to leave the 

 palms there for a short time. After 

 the delivery wagon left he sold the 

 plants at cut rates to the people in 

 the neighborhood and then left for 

 parts unknown. 



Death of James Lockie. 



It is with much regret that I have 

 to report the death ot as true a lover 

 -of flowers as ever lived — Mr. James 

 Lockie, of Waterloo — well known as 

 an insurance inspector all over Can- 

 ada. He lived at Waterloo, about 

 two miles from this town, and was 

 President of the Horticultural Socie- 

 ty there, which he was successful in 

 making one of the few flourishing 

 horticultural bodies in the country: 

 it contained over 160 members, all 

 amateurs, and held an annual show 

 at which no prizes were given, but 

 which all the same brought out lots | 

 of good exhibits, and created a deal | 

 of interest and enthusiasm, not only 

 amongst its members, but also 

 amongst the citizens generally. Mr. 

 Lockie, being one of those good na- 

 tured souls, who are willing to do all 

 the work in a society on account of 

 the thorough interest they take in it, 

 will be much missed, and it seems al- 

 most impossible that his place can be 

 filled. He was one of nature's true 

 gentlemen, who are, alas! only too 

 scarce in this world. 



The writer went down to Toronto 

 with him in the morning to visit the 

 chrysanthemum show, and discussed 

 with him the merits and demerits of 

 the various exhibits; in the evening. 

 at the meeting of the Hospital Board 

 (another good work), Mr. Lockie was 

 suddenly taken ill and died shortly 

 after. He was also a potting shed 

 gossip, and would come over to the 

 writer's every Sunday afternoon, read 

 the horticultural papers, magazines, 

 catalogues, and chat interestingly on 

 horticultural subjects and men until 

 dark. I have written thus at length 

 concerning him, feeling that he de- 

 served it, and that I shall seldom be 

 called on to offend in this way; his 

 kind are few and far between, and 

 met perhaps only once in a lifetime. 



WACO, TEX.— There was a very 

 large display at the annual chrysan- 

 themum show of the State vioral So- 

 ciety. James Morton, Clarksville, 

 Tenn., was Judge and awarded a long 

 list ot prizes.
