Obituary. 



Francis Brill. 



Francis Brill, widely known as a 

 grower of choice cabbage seed, died 

 on Monday, March 24th, at his home 

 in Hempstead, L. I., N. Y., at an ad- 

 vanced age. More particulars in our 



next. 



Alexander D. Broadfoot. 



Alexander D. Broadfoot, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, for thirty-one years a land- 

 scape gardener in the employ of the 

 District Government, died on Sunday 

 last at the Providence Hospital as a 

 result of a complication of diseases. 

 He was born in Scotland in about 

 1852 and came to this country at the 

 age of eighteen. He worked at the 

 Botanical Gardens for a number of 

 years and then secured the position 

 he held when he died. He had been 

 ill for about six months. He is sur- 

 vived by a son. 



Fred W. Ostertag. 



Fred W. Ostertag, St. Louis, died 

 Tuesday, March 18th, at the home of 

 his brother, H. C. Ostertag, after a lin- 

 gering sickness. For the past few 

 years he had not been active in the 

 business of Ostertag Bros., having dis- 

 posed of his business to his brother. 

 He was well known as one of the best 

 floral decorator workers in the city. 

 He was 42 years of age and leaves a 

 mother, brother and sister to mourn 

 his loss. Many in the trade sent floral 

 pieces and extended sympathy to the 

 bereaved family. The burial took 

 place Thursday afternoon, March 20th, 

 at Bellefontaine Cemetery. 



Otis Chapman. 



Otis Chapman of Westerly, R. I., 

 died on March 24th, after a long ill- 

 ness. For several years he and Mrs. 

 Chapman have conducted an exten- 

 sive dahlia business in Westerly, grow- 

 ing both tubers and flowers for the 

 trade. 



Mr. Chapman was a true dahlia 

 enthusiast, spending much time and 

 money in getting together a collection 

 of varieties which is probably the most 

 up-to-date in Rhode Island. His sys- 

 tem of cultivation was also admirable, 

 producing flowers of first quality and 

 always keeping the field clean and 

 well arranged as to color of flowers. 

 He was a man of very pleasant man- 

 ners and sound judgment. The busi- 

 ness will probably be continued by his 

 widow.
