Bunzo Suzuki. 



Bunzo Suzuki, who for many years 

 was well-known throughout this coun- 

 try as a member of Suzuki & lida, and 

 later, when this firm consolidated with 

 The Yokohama Nursery Co., Ltd., of 

 Yokohama, Japan, died very suddenly 

 in Kagoshinia. .Japan, on December

13th. 1912, while on his way to For- 

 mosa Island. Suzuki & lida estab- 

 lished their wholesale importing busi- 

 ness in America in 1893. In 1905 Mr. 

 Suzuki went to London and established 

 a branch office under the name of 

 The Yokohama Nursery Co., where 

 they have been doing business ever 

 since. 



Bunzo Suzuki was well liked in the 

 trade, and of a most pleasing person- 

 ality. By his candor, sincerity and 

 conciliatory traits he made staunch 

 friends wherever he went and the 

 most cordial relations with customers, 

 for the concern he represented. When, 

 a few years ago, he retired from the 

 American field and returned perma- 

 nently to Japan his departure was re- 

 gretted by a wide circle of personal 

 friends in the trade.
