A Tribute to Frank T. Emerson. 



In the death of Frank T. Emerson 

 there has passed to the great beyond 

 one who was tor many years a con- 

 spicuous figure in the seed trade of 

 this country. Mr. Emerson was an 

 enthusiast in the work of his chosen 

 business, and in the broad expansive 

 meaning of the term. He resembled 

 in many respects a philantliropic, re- 

 sourceful physician, a lover of his fel- 

 low men. who gives them freely of his 

 experiments and experiences. 



The seed trade telegraphic code was 

 mainly Mr. Emerson's work, and repre- 

 sents weeks of time and much pains- 

 taking research, and his compensation 

 was thanks. In many other move- 

 ments for the betterment of the seed 

 trade Mr. Emerson joined most hearti- 

 ly, and was always a most industrious 

 worker. He was not a money grub- 

 ber; acquisition of the dollar was not 

 his controlling motive. He gave with 

 a generous hand whenever there was 

 need — often beyond his means. He 

 was always optimistic, confident and 

 hopeful of the future. Keen, witty and 

 original, he was a delightful compan- 

 ion and friend. 



He had far from lived out the al- 

 lotted three score years and ten, but 

 just where the shadows begin to 

 lengthen the curtain was rung down. 

 "Will it rise at last upon some fairer, 

 brighter scene? Reason says 'perhaps,' 

 and hope still whispers 'yes.' "
