Denys Zirngiebel. 



Denys Zirngiebel, whose serious 

 illness was mentioned in our last is- 

 sue, died at his home In Needham, 

 Mass.. Thursday, November 16. Al- 

 though 76 years of age. Mr. Zirngiebel 

 had continued in active business, 

 maintaining rare good health and 

 spirits up to the day of his sudden at- 

 tack. He was a native of Neuchatel, 

 Switzerland. He had the advantage 

 of a good education, and while a 

 young man took a course In botany 

 under Prof. Louis Agassiz, who at 



that time had charge of the Botanical 

 Gardens at that place. Mr. Zirngiebel 

 first established himself in business 

 at Berne, but his property having 

 been taken by the raili-oad he left 

 thei-e and came to America, where his 

 first position was in New Orleans in 

 the management of a plantation. In 

 a short time he was called to Cam- 

 bridge, Mass.. to take charge of the 

 Botanical Garden of Harvard College, 

 but the position not being yet ready 

 for him he was employed for one year 

 at Hovey's nurseries, aftei- which he 

 assumed his duties at the Botanical 

 Garden under Prof. Asa Giay and re- 

 mained thei-e for fifteen years. Here 

 he renewed his friendship with his 

 old instructor, Pi-of. Agassiz. In 1865 

 he bought land at Needham, Mass., 

 the following year erected green- 

 houses, and has conducted a pi'osper- 

 ous business at that place ever since, 

 being assisted in later years by his 

 son Augustus. 



Mr. Zirngiebel is reputed to have 

 been the first to bring to this country 

 plants of the French perpetual carna- 

 tion, from which sprung the American 

 type of florists' carnation. He was an in- 



timate friend and correspondent of Ale- 

 gatieve, the noted French carnation- 

 ist. The original plant of Ampelopsis 

 Veitchii, now an enormous specimen, 

 was planted by Mr. Zii-ngiebel at Hol- 

 lis Hall, Harvard College. He always 

 took great intei-est in the subject of 

 hot water heating, and introduced 

 that method in the Botanical green- 

 houses in place of the hot-air flues 

 pi-eviously used. A simple coil boiler 

 of his construction attained consid- 

 erable popularity for a period of years, 

 and this type of boiler is still used 

 exclusively at his establishment. 



Denys Zirngiebel was a man of rare 

 kindliness, conciliatory and generous 

 in disposition, and enjoyed the es- 

 teem and affection of his brother 

 florists In the highest degi-ee. He was 

 ever ready to lend a hand, advise and 

 assist those needing friendly help. 

 He became a member of the Society 

 of American Florists in the first year 

 of its existence and continued until 

 advancing years prevented his attend- 

 ance at the conventions. Of him it 

 can truthfully be said, "None knew 

 him lint to love him."
