■at an advanced age. Mr. White started 

 the year before Dreer did (which we 

 understand was in 1S36) and continued 

 actively in Imsiness until a few years 

 ago, in West Philadelphia. His loca- 

 tion, latterly, was at :j6th and Chest- 

 nut. He was a very honest, hard- 

 working man, but did not have the 

 gift of gathering riches, but througii 

 the efforts of friends, chief of whom 

 may be mentioned Robert Craig, he 

 passed his last years comfortably in 

 the Old Men's Home. He came origi- 

 nally from Ireland along with two 

 brothers, all three being now gone 

 and no family left behind. One 

 brother ran the retail flower store on 

 North Sth street for many years; this 

 establishment being still in existence 

 under the title of White Bros. 



Francis Quinlan, 



I'^rancis Quinlan, a prominent florist 

 of Lynn, Mass., died at his home on 

 December 28, aged 48. For many years 

 Mr. Quinlan was connected with the 

 firm of E. & J. Bowditch, landscape 

 gardeners of Boston, and laid out some 

 of the largest estates in this country. 

 Twenty years ago he started in busi- 

 ness in Salem but later moved to Lynn, 

 where he has conducted a large florist 

 business. He was prominently con- 

 nected with many fraternal organiza- 

 tions.

Arthur B. Howard, who was born in 

 Belchertown, Mass., June 1, 1833, and 

 lived there all his life, died at his 

 home on December 20. Mr. Howan! 

 was an enthusiast in everything per- 

 taining to flowers or fruit, and held an 

 enviable reputation as a horticulturist 

 and pomologist. He has been a suc- 

 cessful exhibitor both in his own and 

 other slates. His petunias have long 

 been widely known. Two children sur- 

 vive. 



Everett B. Clark. 

 The death of Mr. Everett B. Clark, 

 of Mllford, Conn., will be sincerely 

 mourned by practically the entire seed 

 trade of the United States and Canada. 

 He leaves a record for uprightness and 

 fair dealing which his successors will 

 do well to imitate. For want of time 

 further references to Mr. Clark will 

 be left for a future issue.
