 F. FALLON, Roanoke, Va. 



aged 70 years. Mr. Williams was an 

 amateur patron of horticulture, active 

 and useful in the affairs and work ot 

 the Rhode Island Horticultural Society 

 at whose shows he was a frequent ex- 

 hibitor of garden flowers, and with 

 whose members he was very popular 

 personally. 



Louis Stieffel. 

 Louis Stieffel, aged 71 years, and for 

 the last thirty years a well-known flor- 

 ist at 1932 Third avenue. New York, 

 died September 13th. He is survived 

 by his widow. 



Joseph Emory Arnold. 

 Joseph Emory Arnold, florist, died 

 September 5th, at his home in Tyrone, 

 Pa., aged 55 years. The business will 

 be continued by his three sons under 

 the name of Arnold Bros. 



George McWilllam. 



George McWilliam, head gardener at 

 George Marston Whitin's estate, and 

 known as an originator and grower of 

 rare plants, died at his home in Whit- 

 insville, Mass., Saturday morning, Sep- 

 tember 13, aged 67 years and two 

 months. His death was caused by 

 bladder trouble. About two years ago 

 Mr. McWilliam sustained a fall and 

 since that time had been in failing 

 health. Five weeKs previous to his 

 death he was operated on at the New 

 England Baptist Hospital, Boston, and 

 a week before he died was brought 

 to his home. 



Mr. McWilliam was born at Culroach 

 Farm, Inch. Wigtonshire, Scotland, and 

 came to the United States in 1872. He 

 was employed on the R. M. Pratt es- 

 tate at Mt. Auburn, Mass., under the 

 late David Allan, until 1884, when he 

 went to take charge ot the gardens of 

 Josiah Lasell, and has been with the 

 Lasell-Whitin family ever since. 



Mr. McWilliam was especially suc- 

 cessful as a hybridizer and grower of 

 calanthes, dipladenias, grapes and 

 other hothouse specialties, some of 

 which have been illustrated in Hobti- 

 CDLTUHE from time to time, he be- 

 ing also a frequent contributor to our 

 reading columns. A very large num- 

 ber of gold and silver medals and cer- 

 tificates adorned his library and were 

 to him a source of great pride. He 

 was a member of the Massachusetts 

 and Worcester Horticultural Societies 

 and acted as judge at many of the 

 flower and fruit shows of these and 

 other societies, including the Interna- 

 tional Flower Show at New York last 

 spring. 



George McWilliam was a man deep- 

 ly in love with his work and in knowl- 

 edge of the science of plant growing 

 stood in the first rank. He was very 

 retiring in manner and unassuming, 

 yet sturdy in his convictions. His 

 sterling honesty, sympathetic nature 

 and kindly ways placed him high in 

 the esteem of his fellow gardeners and 

 florists and he will be sadly missed in 

 the town where he lived so long and 

 among his horticultural associates. 

 The funeral was held on September 

 IG. with Masonic ceremonies. 



He is survived by his wife, who was 

 Miss Isabelle McCrea; a brother, Alex- 

 ander, in Nova Scotia, and two sisters 

 in Scotland.
