Obituary, 



John E. Andre. 



A prominent figure in the florist 

 trade of Philadelpliia passed away sud- 

 denly on the 28th ult. in the death 

 of John E. Andre, of Doylestown, from 

 peritonitis, superinduced by an oper- 

 ation for stomach trouble. Mr. Andre 

 was a native of Detroit, Mich., and 

 came to this vicinity from a rose grow- 

 ing establishment in Long Island to 

 act as foreman for J. Y. Smith, of 

 Doylestown, who was the first to make 

 a success of rose growing in shallow 

 elevated benches in this locality. This 

 was in the early eighties. In 1S88 Mr. 

 Andre started for himself in Doyles- 

 town, and also rented the old Smith 

 establishment. He made a specialty 

 of Hybrid Tea roses, in which he was 

 very successful. His Brides and 

 Bridesmaids had a more than local 

 ireputation. He also grew Beauties, 

 smilax and mushrooms. In the latter 

 he was one of the pioneers and grew 

 same as an important crop for many 

 years. 



Mr. Andre was of a very genial dis- 

 position and had hosts of friends 

 everywhere he was known. He leaves 

 ,a widow and one son, the latter grown 

 up and interested with his father in 

 the business — which will in all like- 

 lihood be continued by the family. 

 The funeral took place on the 30th ult. 

 and was largely attended by members 

 ,of the craft from Philadelphia and vi- 

 cinity. Fred Ehret of Philadelphia, 

 one of his oldest friends, was intrust- 

 ed with the furnishing of many of the 

 beautiful floral offerings which graced 

 the last rites. Mr. Andre was a mem- 

 ber of the Philadelphia Florists' Club, 

 the Society of American Florists and 

 other trade organizations — in most of 

 which he took an active interest. 



George W. Earl. 



George W. Earl, Jr., son of the late 

 ■G. W. Earl, well known in horticul- 

 tural circles in Philadelphia, and 

 brother of Howard M. Earl, manager 

 for W. Atlee Burpee & Co., died sud- 

 denly at Wickford, R. I., on the 20th 

 ult. The funeral took place with mil- 

 itary honors at West Laurel Hill 

 cemetery, Philadelphia, on the 24th 

 ult., from his late residence at Bryn 

 Mawr. Mr. Earl served in the Cuban 

 and Philippine campaigns, retiring 

 five years ago with the rank of second 

 lieutenant. He was an author of 

 marked ability and contributed many 

 brilliant stories to the magazines. He 



had been in poor health for the past 

 two years and it was in hopes of re- 

 cuperation that he had visited his 

 friend John Kent Kane, who is build- 

 ing a summer residence on Narragan- 

 sett Bay, and where he was suddenly 

 stricken in the streets of Wickford and 

 died shortly after being taken to the 

 office of a resident physician. Mr. 

 Earl was 40 years of age and un- 

 married.

 great regret of the death of this en- 

 thusiastic orchid amateur, which oc- 

 curred on May 15, at his residence, 

 Oakwood Hall, Wylam on Tyne, 

 Northumberland, England. The de- 

 ceased commenced in ISSO the crossing 

 of Calanthes, the finest of his earli- 

 est crosses being C. Cooksonl, C. 

 Bryan, C. Clive, C. W. Murray and 

 C. Alexanderi; the crosses Ruby, An- 

 gela and Chapmanii indicating the fine 

 results that may be obtained by cross- 

 breeding carried out with skill, for 

 these flowers, although almost entirely 

 of a ruby crimson color, were bred 

 from the crimson eye of the otherwise 

 white C. vestita. Mr. Cookson was 

 very successful in raising hybrid 

 Phaius, Dendrobiums, Cypripediums, 

 Odontoglossums, Laelio-cattleyas and 

 other species of great excellence and 

 novel in form and coloring.
