IN MEMORIArvl. 



Count Kerchove de Denterghem. 



On several occasions recently we 

 have referred to the serious losses to 

 European horticulture by the death of 

 various well known men. Belgium 

 in particular has been a severe suf- 

 ferer and in losing Count Oswald de 

 Kerchove de Denterghem the Royal 

 Agricultural and Botanical Society of 

 Ghent, of which he had been for so 

 long the honored president, will be 

 placed in a position of considerable 

 difficulty to find a man worthy of oc- 

 cupying the vacant place. 



The Count Kerchove de Denter- 

 ghem was a familiar figure to all 

 European horticulturists of any note. 

 He was a man of imposing stature, a 

 genial courteous gentleman whom we 

 well remember meeting for the first 

 time nearly seventeen years ago at 

 Ghent. 



Like his colleagues the late M. de 

 Meulenaere and M. Ernest Fierens, 

 both members of the same society, he 

 was a lawyer by profession and an 

 amateur gardener of world wide re- 

 pute. As an author and contributor 

 to the horticultural press he was also 

 well known as a competent authority 

 on the matter upon which he used to 

 write. Every visitor to the great In- 

 ternational Horticultural Shows at 

 Ghent will remember the Count's 

 warm welcome and his invariable ur- 

 banity. He spoke English, among his 

 many other accomplishments, quite 

 well, and has often received visitors 

 from this side of the Channel in a way 

 not to be easily forgotten. 



He had filled many important posi- 

 tions in his own country and his death 

 so entirely unexpected to those out- 

 side his own immediate circle of friends 

 will create a great void, more es- 

 pecially at the next Quinquennial 

 show at Ghent for which preparations 

 are now in active operation. 



Count Kerchove was born in 1844 

 and died on the 20th March last being 

 in his 62nd year. He was an officer of 



the Order of Leopold and held other 

 decorations.
