Obituary 



Robert Sydenham. 



The announcement of the passing 

 away of Robert Sydenham, of Birming- 

 ham, England, is received with sorrow 

 by his many friends in the United 

 States. His was a most unique per- 

 sonality and he had warm friends 

 everywhere all over the world. He 

 had many enthusiasms in succession 

 during his horticultural career, the 

 latest and perhaps the most ardent 

 being the sweet pea. Among others in 

 the sweet pea field he was a warm, 

 personal friend of W. Atlee Burpee, 

 who is at present visiting in England 

 and to whom this loss will be particu- 

 larly sad. Mr. Sydenham died on Sat- 

 urday, July 19.

ANOTHER NEW LILY. 



Lilium Sargentiae, a gem among 

 the Chinese introductions by E. H. 

 Wilson has been blooming gorgeously 

 at the Farquhar nurseries in Roslin- 

 dale, Mass., during the past two 

 weeks, being about a fortnight later 

 than myriophyllum. The garden com- 

 mittee and plant and flower committee 

 of the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety visited the nurseries to inspect 

 this new comer, on Thursday, July 24, 

 and were much impressed with its ef- 

 fectiveness in garden work. It is per- 

 fectly hardy. We shall have some- 

 thing further to say about it later on.
