OBITUARY. 



August Loeber. 



August Loeber, late traveling sales- 

 roan for Arthur T. Boddington through 

 the Southern and New England States, 

 died Friday, November Sth, at the 

 New York Hospital after a protracted 

 illness of more than six months. 



He caught cold last spring which de- 

 veloped into rheumatic fever, pneumo- 

 nia, pleurisy and indocarditis of the 

 heart from which last he never really 

 recovered and which was the ultimate 

 cause of his death. 



Mr. Loeber was born in Holland 

 twenty-six years ago and traveled in 

 this country previous to serving Mr. 

 Boddington for the Continental Bulb 

 Company, Hillegom, and was most suc- 

 cessful as a traveling representative. 

 During the short time he traveled here 

 he became thoroughly acquainted with 

 American methods. He was a lovable 

 man and was popular with all 

 with whom he came in contact, bright, 

 alert and a good friend, generous to a 

 fault. He had no relations in this 

 country, but many friends who will 

 mourn his loss and sympathize with 

 his parents in their sad bereavement. 

 We laid him away in Kensico Ceme- 

 tery. H. A. B. 



Dexter M. Ferry. 

 Dexter M. Ferry, founder and head 

 of the world-renowned seed house of 



D. M. Ferry & Co., died suddenly on 

 the morning of Nov. 11, of heart di- 

 sease. He was born in Lowville, Lewis 

 Co., N. Y., Aug. S, 1833. When he was 

 16 years old he went to Detroit and 

 worked as errand boy for a stationery 

 house. In 1S56 he was organizer and 

 junior partner of the firm of M. T. 

 Gardner & Co., seedsmen. This firm 

 became D. M. Perry & Co., in 1867. The 

 original organizers were D. M. Ferrv, 

 H. W. White, C. C. Bowen, A. E. F. 

 White. Mr. Ferry married Miss Addle 



E. Miller of Unadilla, Otsego Co., N. 

 Y., Oct. 1, 1S67. His wife died one 

 year ago. He leaves a son, D. M. Fer- 

 ry, Jr.. and two daughters. He was 

 president and director of several local 

 banks and various manufacturing and 

 charitable institutions. His untiring, 

 straight-forward business manner and 

 his unostentatious but ever-ready 

 charity made him respected and be- 

 loved by all. 



James H. Spencer. 

 James H. Spencer, of Warren, Mass., 

 died on November 5 at the home of 

 his daiighter, Mrs. Fairbanks. He lived 

 to the advanced age of 90, and until 

 within three months was actively en- 

 gaged in gardening. ,

NEWS NOTES. 



The Griswold Greenhouses, Ashta- 

 bula, O., have increased their capital 

 stock from $50,000 to $100,000. 



W. P. Ross, formerly with the F. R. 

 Pierson Company, has been appointed 

 superintendent for F. R. Chambers, 

 Bronxville, N. Y. 



Several owners of summer resi- 

 dences in Newport were heavy suf- 

 ferers by reason of the recent panic 

 in Wall street and elsewhere, with the 

 result that gardeners' help is reduced 

 in several instances. 



Four plants of Nephrolepis superbls- 

 sima were exhibited at Crystal Palace, 

 London, on Tuesday of this week in 

 charge of J. R. Potheringham, who is 

 now in England representing the F. 

 R. Pierson Company. 



The Lord & Burnham Company have 

 put up two good houses, each 18x75 

 and a roomy potting shed for the Park 

 Board of Minneapolis. The houses are 

 now well stocked and will be of great 

 help in raising the large amount of 

 bedding plants- annually required for 

 the parks. 



On-igoni & Cavalluzzo have the con- 

 tract for the planting of 2000 trees in 

 eleven streets in the Bronx section of 

 New York City, which must be com- 

 pleted by June 1, 1908. All their work 

 is being done under the supervision of 

 inspectors appointed by Samuel Par- 

 son, the city landscape gardener. 



The trees will include American and 

 English elms and lindens, ash, Norway 

 maples, horse chestnuts and Oriental 

 planes. Many of the elms and lindens, 

 according to the contractors, will be 

 imported, as trees which will meet the 

 requirements of the contract are said 

 to be hard to obtain in this country. 



Extensive improvements are contem- 

 plated by Mr. Geo. Gordon King to his 

 Newport estate, where Andrew . Ram- 

 say is gardener. E. L. Beard, formerly 

 of Shady Hill Nurseries, is reported to 

 have secured a contract to plant and 

 otherwise improve the grounds of the 

 Pembroke Jones estate on Bellevue 

 avenue, Newport. 



Park Supt Wirth of Minneapolis 

 took the commissioners around last 

 Saturday to inspect the new rose gar- 

 den and the greenhouses. They ex- 

 pressed their appreciation of the 

 thorough work that has been done 

 and did not hesitate to appropriate 

 money for grading around the green- 

 houses and for acquiring more ma- 

 chinery for the already pretty well 

 equipped machine shop. 



The plants in the Hodgson green- 

 houses at Newport, R. I., were sold at 

 auction November 4th. There were 

 some fairly good plants and a great 

 many poor ones in the houses. The 

 prices realized were low in the ex- 

 treme, only about $970 for everything 

 — plants, pots, vases and fixtures. The 

 greenhouses and cottage were sold to 

 Mr. Spaulding for $11,300, a very low 

 price for such a property. Messrs. 

 Spaulding & Hodgson intend to reopen 

 the greenhouse in the spring.
