Alexander Wallace. 



As we go to press a telegram advises 

 us of the death of Alexander Wallace, 

 editor of the Flori.sts' Exchange. New- 

 York. Mr. Wallace has been ailing fcr 

 a short time with a complication of 

 diseases. He was out of his office for 

 about ten days and then returned for 

 two days, but was unable to coniinue 

 and on Wednesday. June 17, he passed 

 away. He was born in Lawrencekirk. 

 Kincardyshire, Scotland, on November 

 21. IS59. He came to this country in 

 ISSS and one ye;ir later entered the 

 eniplov of the A T. De la Mare P.-int- 

 i-e and Publishing Company, and soon 

 assumed the editcrship of the Florists' 

 Exchange published by that company, 

 a position for which a good education 

 and knowledge of stenography made 

 him well fitted. Vie read much and, 

 having a good memory, was able to 

 apply his insight into horticulture 

 thus obtained to good advantage. One 

 of Mr. Wallace's most striking charac- 

 teristics was his thoronghness. What- 

 ever he undertook he followed up to 

 the minutest details,, and this analyti- 

 cal exactness was in evidence in all his 

 work. On committee assignments in 

 the S. \. F. and the New York Flor- 

 ists' Club, in both of which organiza- 

 tions he was a member, his duties 

 were always accepted cheerfully and 

 performed faithfully. He served as a 

 ■ member of the Executive Board of the 

 S. , A. F. for one term of three years, 

 having been appointed b,\ President 

 ' Patrick O'Mara. We extend to our es- 

 teemed contemixirary our sincere sym- 

 pathy in the great loss which they 

 and the cause of horticulture have sus- 

 tained. 



The funeral will be at Church Green 

 and Washington avenues, Brooklyn, N. 

 Y., on Saturday, June 20. Interment 

 at Greenwood.
