The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



SPRINGFIELD, ILL, 



Death of H. P. Buckley. 



Henry V. Buckley, tlie florist, died 

 June 24 of a complication of diseases 

 after a protracted illness, aged 50 years. 



Mr. Buckley was a resident of this city 

 since 1872, and was always a respected 

 and law-abiding citizen, having many 

 friends. The news of his demise while 

 not unexpected, will be received with 

 sincere regret. Six months ago he suf- 

 fered a stroke of paralysis, but until a 

 month ago he was not in a critical condi- 

 tion. 



He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob 

 T. Buckley, and was born May 26, 1851, 

 at Shopier, Wis. He was reared at that 

 city and graduated from the local 

 schools. In 1872 he came to tliis city, 

 which has since been his home. Shortly 

 after arriving here he engaged in the 

 flour and feed business, the firm being 

 known as H. P. Buckley & Co. He re- 

 mained in that business until 1883, when 

 he embarked in the floral business for 

 himself. He was eminently successful 

 in this latter business. 



May 9, 1870, he was united in mar- 

 riage with Miss Ella G. Conklinjr, daugh- 

 ter of William J. C'onkling, of this city. 

 He is survived by his widow, four sons, 

 William T., Harry M., Edgar H., Ralph 

 and C. Buckley; and three daughters, 

 Alice M., Jeanette J., and Helen G. 

 Buckley, all living at home. 



The funeral was held June 26, three 

 of his sons acting as pall bearers, and 

 the remains were interred in Oak Ridge 

 Cemetery. 



Mr. Buckley, who was proprietor and 

 manager of the South Side Floral Com- 

 pany, was on account of ill health forced 

 to abandon his business Feb. 15 last, sell- 

 ing it to his eldest son, who has since 

 then conducted it as the W. T. Buckley 

 Plant Company. 



GERANIUMS COMING BLIND. 



In your issue of June 20, 1901, D. H. 

 C. complains of trouble with geraniums 

 coming blind. In my experience this 

 happens when the stock is kept cool and 

 wet in rather dark houses. Don't think he 

 will have any trouble if he will run his 

 houses a little warmer and dryer. Gera- 

 niums Avill carry over and grow in a 

 rather low temperature, even as low as 

 40 to 45 degrees, but 55 and 60 degrees 

 will give much better results. 



Thos. H. White. 



Rantoul, III. — A very destructive 

 hail storm did an immense amount of 

 damage here June 20. H. M. Morris es- 

 timates the damage to his greenhouses, 

 fruits and vegetables at $1,000. Many 

 of the hailstones or chunks of ice were 

 two inches long and an inch thick. A 

 great many windows were broken and 

 the damage to crops was serious. The 

 total loss due to the storm is estimated 

 at $25,000 to $30,000 in this vicinity.
