OBITUARY. 

 Francis J. Norton. 

 Francis J. Norton of Dorchester, 

 Mass., died on August 15, at the age of 

 29. He was a designer of exceptional 

 ability, having learned hip business 

 with his father. M. H. Norton, in the 



ROSE MY MARYLAND. 

 This variety, which was exhibited 

 last season, is apparently an excellent 

 grower. Notwithstanding the intense 

 heat of the past few weeks, young 

 stock, including both grafted plants 

 and others upon their own roots, look 

 exceptionally well, the growth being 

 dean, healthy and full of vigor, with 

 no sign of mildew or spot. — "American 

 Notes,'' in Gardener's Chronicle, Lon- 

 don. 



Francis .1. Norti in 

 store of Norton Bros., Boston. For 

 some years previous to the time of his 

 illness he was employed in the retail 

 establishment of Edward MacMulkin. 

 He was for some time Boston corres- 

 pondent for the Florists' Exchange.
