This club for once abstained from 

 its learned discussions and devoted 

 meeting night to a social and dance. 

 Thanks to the efficiency of the enter- 

 tainment committee, whose general is

 success and immensely enjoyed by all. 

 Music, recitations, card playing and 

 dancing kept old and young until long 

 past midnight.

OBITUARY. 

 Ferdinand Tschupp. 



Ferdinand Tschupp died at his resi- 

 dence in North Bergen, N. J., on Febru- 

 ary 24, aged 66 years. Mr. Tschupp 

 was born in Alsace (Germany). On 

 first coming to this country, in 1863, 

 he worked for his brother, the late 

 .John Tschupp of Weavertown Road. 

 West Hoboken, for about one year, 

 after which he spent about four years 

 in the employ of Mr. Hauser, an old- 

 time florist on Third Avenue, New 

 York. He then went to North Bergen 

 and started in business for himself, at 

 first in a small way, adding to his 

 place as his means increased and mak- 

 ing a pronounced success from the be- 

 ginning. He acquired extensive real 

 estate interests in his adopted town 

 where he was prominent in Masonic 

 circles and served as treasurer of 

 Palisades Lodge for the past fourteen 

 years. His specialty was hybrid per- 

 petual roses and his Jacq's grown in 

 the old-fashioned way have enjoyed a 

 wide reputation in New York markets. 



Mr. Tschupp is universally spoken of 

 as one of the most conscientious, in- 

 dustrious, and unassuming men con- 

 nected with the horticultural profes- 

 sion, a man of highest integrity, a 

 reliable friend, ana a good father to 



his family. He leaves a wife and six 

 children — three sons and three daugh- 

 ters — all married except two. 



Charles Zarembo. 

 Charles Zarembo, aged 68 years, for 

 many years a resident of Church Lane. 

 New Durham, North Bergen, died sud- 

 denly on February 18. He had been 

 about the house when he was sudden- 

 ly attacked and expired before a doc- 

 tor arrived. While his death was un- 

 expected, he had been under the care 

 of a physician for heart trouble for 

 some time. The funeral took place on 

 Thursday, February 21. Mr. Zarembo 

 was a Russian by birth. He was en- 

 gaged in the florist business in Church 

 Lane for 35 years, his specialty being 

 chrysanthemums and geraniums. 



C. F. W. Gentemann. 



C. F. W. Gentemann of Quincy, 111., 

 died on February 16 at Miami, Pla., 

 where he has been accustomed to pass 

 his winters for his health. Mr. Gente- 

 mann was born in Germany on March 

 15, 1837, and has resided in Quincy 

 since 1852. He established there a suc- 

 cessful business which he turned ovef 

 to his sons Herman and Philip, and 

 daughter Minnie, five years ago. Be- 

 sides these another daughter and his 

 wife survive him. Mr. Gentemann has 

 been a member of the Society of 

 American Florists for many years.

 ary 12. 



Mrs. Nicholson, wife of W. R. 

 Nicholson of Fraraingham, Mass., died 

 on February IS. The marriage of these 

 young people took place only about a 

 year ago and much sympathy is felt 

 tor Mr. Nicholson in his sad bereave- 

 ment. 



A CORRECTION. 



Several communications in this is- 

 sue which have the appearance of 

 being somewhat tardy are so because 

 they failed to connect with last week's 

 issue which went to press one day 

 ahead of regular time on account of 

 the holiday, February 22. One result 

 of the unavoidable haste thus caused 

 was a number of inaccuracies which 

 escaped the proofreader's eve. includ- 

 ing a misplaced signature whereby the 

 excellent notes on rose propagation 

 were wrongly credited to J. P. John- 

 ston instead of to their author. J. E. 

 Simpson.
