NEWS NOTES. 



Auction sales of stalls in the two 

 flower markets in Boston, are an- 

 nounced for August 29, each at the 

 same hour, viz., 9 a. m. 



Cyrus A. Smith, who has been in 

 the florist business at Putnam, Conn., 

 for forty years, has disposed of his 

 stock at auction and retired from 

 business. 



S. P. Donaghy, of New Bedford. 

 Mass., while working in his green- 

 house August 19, was struck by a fall- 

 ing section of pipe, and received a 

 severe scalp wound. 



J. H. Morton, superintendent of Mt. 

 Hope Cemetery, Boston, has resigned 

 from that position, following an inves- 

 tigation into the sale of some land to 

 the city by Mr. Morton. The inves- 

 tigation showed nothing to Mr. Mor- 

 ton's discredit and the trustees so de- 

 clared by a unanimous vote. The 

 mayor, for some reason which does 

 not appear, disagreed with the trus- 

 tees on the matter and Mr. Morton. 

 satisfied that he had been fully vindi- 

 cated by the vote of the trustees, sent 

 in his resignation. Four or five gen- 

 tlemen well-known in the florist bus- 

 iness are mentioned as candidates for 

 the vacancy thus created. Mr. Mor- 

 ton is not likely to have any difficulty 

 in locating himself in an equally lu- 

 crative or better position elsewhere 

 but his going away will be a great 

 loss to the horticultural fraternity of 

 Boston by whom he is held in the 

 highest esteem. He is an ex-presi- 

 dent of the Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club. 



Mt. Morton was presented on the 

 evening of August 20 with a silver lov- 

 ing cup and easy chair at his home by 

 seventy of the cemetery workmen. 



Mr. Morton has always been a great 

 favorite with his men. All the em- 

 ployes of the cemetery gathered at the 

 cemetery stables and marched tn the 

 home of Mr. Morton. 



The affair was a complete surprise 

 and Mr. Morton was deeply affected by 

 the tribute. He responded most feel 

 ingly. and following came an evening 

 of song and fun.
