Drewett O. Drewett. 



We regret to record the death of 

 this gentleman, an ardent horticultur- 

 ist, which took place on March 9th, at 

 his residence Riding Mill on Tyne, 

 Northumberland. He was an enthusi- 

 astic cultivator of hardy herbaceous 

 alpine and aquatic plants and of trees 

 and shrubs. He likewise interested 

 himself in the crossing and hybridiza- 

 tion of orchids and was especially suc- 

 cessful with American species of cy- 

 pripediums and those which flower in 

 the winter season. One of his finest 

 crosses is C. insigne James Renwick, 

 named after his gardener.
