Obituary, 



A. Moltz. 

 A. Moltz, a familiar figure in the 

 New York wholesale flower district, 

 died suddenly on Thursday, February 

 20th. "Kaldy," as Moltz was generally 

 known in and around the cut flower 

 markets, had a varied career, some- 

 times on the crest ot fortune and 

 again at the very bottom of the ladder. 

 He was a speculator by instinct and 

 many a time rendered conspicuous 

 service in seasons of glut by his 

 cleverness in plunging and distribut- 



A. Moltz 



ing the surplus stock. His business 

 ventures of late have not always been 

 successful but notwithstanding this he 

 was kindly regarded by the trade gen- 

 erally and will long be remembered 

 as a unique and interesting character. 



Mrs. Martha Saunders. 



Mrs. Martha Saunders, widow of the 

 late William Saunders, died at her 

 home on 3rd street, Washington, D. 

 C, at the age of 90 years. Her late 

 husband, it will be remembered, was 

 one of the leading horticulturists of 

 this country. While in charge of gar- 

 dens and grounds in the Agricultural 

 Department he executed many notable 

 pieces of landscape art including Phil- 

 adelphia's Fairmount Park and the 

 National Park at Gettysburg. He was 

 a noted importer of plants, flowers 

 and fruits and to him is accredited 

 the introduction into the United States 

 of the seedless orange.

 cago for many years, passed away at 

 his home, 2059 Devon avenue, Chicago, 

 February 19th, at the age of 81 years.

 land was divided, three of the sons be- 

 ing vegetable growers like himself and

 te about till three weeks ago. He
