 The Best AU-'Round

THERE still remain several weeks of "out-door" weather in

This affords a splendid opportunity for you to sell more Palms —

 Summer, than a good Palm; our Palms are grown so that they are 

 really the best you can get. 



They are profitable for you to handle, assure satisfaction to your 

 trade, and make it easier for you to sell, not only more Palms, but 

 more of other things as well.

 you'll be glad to handle if you're not already carrying them. We've 

 had a busy season, but there is still an excellent stock to select

Obituary. 



Thomas Mulligan. 

 This well-known and highly re- 

 spected market gardener died in 

 Revere, Mass., on Sunday, August 28, 

 at the advanced age of 89 years. 



ticeship on the estate of Sir Michael 

 Shaw Stewart. 



Thomas Mulhearn. 

 Thomas Mulhearn, who was killed 

 almost instantly at the Shreveport 

 street crossing of the Old Colony Rail- 

 road at Dorchester, Mass., last week, 

 had been in the employ of Norton 

 Bros, at their greenhouses in Dorches- 

 ter, from boyhood until the discontin- 

 uance of the greenhouses a few years 

 ago and was well-known to the flower 

 trade of Boston as a good and faithful 

 employe. Latterly he has been en- 

 gaged by the gas works as a watch- 

 man. His age was fifty years. 



Hugh Carmichael. 

 Hugh Carmichael, an old country 

 gardener, who has spent the last ten 

 years of his life in retirement at the 

 home of his son, Donald Carmichael, 

 florist of Wellesley, Mass., died on Au- 

 gust ISth at his old home in Oban, 

 Argylshire, Scotland. Mr. Carmichael 

 was 82 years of age. He had gone 

 back on a visit to his native town and 

 was taken ill shortly before the date 

 on which he was to return to America. 

 As a young man he served his appren- 



Lyman B. Craw. 

 We learn with the deepest sympathy 

 for the bereaved wife and little child, 

 of the death of this sterling young man 



r>VMAN K. Craw 

 whom it has been our privilege to 

 know intimately for many years. For 

 the past ten years as secretary and 

 general sales manager of the Lord & 

 Burnham Comiiany. of New York, and 



previously as traveling representative 

 of the interests of the firm, Mr. Craw 

 was widely known in the florist trade 

 and amongst the gardening profession. 



His parents having died when he 

 was very young, Mr. Craw was brought 

 up in the family of an uncle and at the 

 age of 17 went into the employ of Lord 

 & Burnham in the bookkeeping ofBce, 

 Mr. W. A. Burnham being an uncle on 

 his mother's side. He was 40 years 

 old at the time of his death. 



Mr. Craw has been in delicate health 

 for a long time and over a year ago 

 underwent a serious operation for can- 

 cer of the stomach, the results of which 

 finally caused his death after much 

 suffering, on Thursday, September 1. 

 He was of affectionate disposition, pas- 

 sionately devoted to his family and 

 possessed of manly qualities which en- 

 deared him to a wide circle of friends 

 in a marked degree. He was a great 

 lover of flowers and horticulture. His 

 artistic and attractive house and 

 grounds at Irvington show his knowl- 

 edge and affection for decorative land- 

 scape work. The home in which he 

 was forced to leave his wife and little 

 girl is, indeed, lovely. He was a mem- 

 lier of the Society of American Flor- 

 ists, New York Florists' Club and other 

 horticultural bodies. 



The funeral took place at Irvington, 

 N. Y. on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 3.
