THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



AMONG THE GARDENERS 



Mr. Herbert Greensmith, who for the past three years 

 has been landscape gardener of the parks in Cincinnati,, 

 Ohio, has resigned. Mr. W. R. Munger, the tree sur- 

 geon of the department, will temporarily fill his place. 



Dr. Frederick W. Hamilton, recently president of Tufts 

 and Jackson Colleges, has re-entered the business field 

 from which he withdrew several years ago for profes- 

 sional work as an educator, and has taken the position of 

 general manager of the American Forestry Company. 



As a young man. Dr. Hamilton's successful business 

 career combined with his broad education early brought 

 him to the front. For many years he was a trustee of 

 Tufts College, and later became its president, keeping at 

 the same time other high positions in the educational 

 world, including membership of the Massachusetts State 

 Board of Education. 



The success and rapid growth of the American Forestry 

 Company, with its "Little Tree Farms," open a field of 

 unusual opportunity to a man of Dr. Hamilton's caliber, 

 in the combination which forestry offers of the commercial 

 and the aesthetic, and it is, therefore, with much enthusi- 

 asm that 'Dr. Hamilton has associated himself with the 

 company, and taken up his new duties. 



This afiFiliation will allow Mr. Theodore F. Borst, for- 

 est engineer of the company, to devote his energies more 

 exclusively to the professional side of the prosperous in- 

 dustry of which he was the founder. 



Dr. Hamilton will from now on make his headquarters 

 at the offices of the American Forestry Company, at 15 

 Beacon street. Boston, Mass. 



The American Forestry Company is to be congratulated 

 upon obtaining the services of a man who has made a 

 marked success in the fields both of business and edu- 

 cation. 



Philadelphia turned out with the usual force^ The dele- 

 gation included Messrs. Logan, Thilow, Kleinheinz, 

 Dodds, Robertson, Batchelor, Schmitt, Moore, and Fuld. 

 It was the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. 



Mr. Ernest Westlake, of Glen Cove, L. L, secretary of 

 the Nassau County Horticultural Society, sailed for Eng- 

 land, his native heath, with his wife and son, on the 

 Oceanic, leaving New York December 14. Mr. Westlake 

 intends staying abroad two months, enjoying a well- 

 earned vacation. 



Among others seen at the convention were Mr. John 

 F. Huss, of Hartford, Conn. ; Mr. Robert Bottomly, New 

 Canaan, Conn. ; Mr. Albert Millard, Riverdale, N. Y., 

 and "Jack" Everett, Glen Cove, N. Y. 



The many friends of Mr. Samuel Horn, who is now 

 located in the Oranges, were glad to meet him at the con- 

 vention. Mr. Horn feels himself again, and those who 

 watched his activities on the bowling alleys were con- 

 vinced of this. 



Mr. and Mrs. William H. Duckham will sail for home 

 from abroad on the 30th inst. Mr. Duckham left for 

 England some two months ago, and from reports received 

 has had a pleasant trip.
