Obituary 



Charles F. Mielenz. 



Charles F. Mielenz, florist, Troy, N. 

 Y., died at his home on April 25. He 

 was born in Germany sixty-five years 

 ago. A widow, one son and three 

 daughters survive him. 



Ella Wende. 

 Ella, the little nine-year-old daugh- 

 ter of Oscar Wende, one of the gar- 

 deners at Washington Park, was 

 killed by a street car on Sunday, May 

 14th, near her home, 6751 S. Paulina 

 street, Chicago. The father was 

 carrying the child a bunch of flowers 

 when the sad news reached him. 



May E. Campbell. 



Miss May E. Campbell, associated 

 with her mother in the florist busi- 

 ness at 1638 Federal street, Philadel- 

 phia, died suddenly on the 7th inst. 

 after an operation for appendicitis. 

 Miss Campbell was well-known and 

 popular in the trade and a familiar 

 fi.gure in the wholesale markets, as 

 she did most of the buying for the 

 business. 



Gustav Peters. 

 Gustav Peters, though not a florist 

 in his early life, made the handling of 

 cut flowers his occupation tor thirty 

 years and until failing health caused 

 him to retire he had a stand in E. C. 

 Amling's wholesale store. Mr. Peters 

 was born in Germany, 71 years ago in 



June, and spent all his childhood in 

 the fatherland. With his son-in-law, 

 Chas. Arnold, he successfully managed 

 his greenhouse plant at Desplalnes, 

 111. He died May 12th and the funeral 

 was from the home at 1515 Larabee 

 street, Chicago, May 15th. He is sur- 

 vived by a wife and daughter. 



J. R. Tranter. 

 A noted British nurseryman has 

 lately passed away in the person of 

 Mr. J. R. Tranter, of Henley-on- 

 Thames. For many years the de- 

 ceased had been a familiar figure at 

 the leading horticulture shows. As a 

 dahlia raiser his variety, Mrs. Tranter, 

 has come prominently to the front, 

 besides others. Mr. Tranter was a 

 member of the Committee of the Na- 

 tional Dahlia Society, and a chief ex- 

 hibitor at the Society's shows. He 

 also raised the chrysantliemum, J. R. 

 Tranter, which has gained favor 

 amongst growers in America.

 France, ditd a few weeks ago, aged 

 eighty years. He was well known as 



B. Latour-Mariiac. 



a hybridizer of nymphaeas, some of the 

 best known and most valuable varie- 

 ties being the result of his forty years' 

 work. His son will carry on the busi- 

 ness. 



Tina Schenck. 

 This little girl, three years old, 

 only child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles 

 Schenck and the pet of the neighbor- 

 hood, met with a sudden death on 

 May 10. from injuries received from 

 the falling of a large flower pot upon 

 her iisad from an upper floor window 

 sill at 1590 Amsterdam Ave., New 

 York. The child was on the sidewalk 

 with her go-cart, under the care of 

 a maid when the accident occurred. 

 Mr. Schenck is of the firm of 

 Traendly & Schenck, wholesale flor- 

 ists, and nothing has happened for 

 years which has drawn out the deep 

 sympathy of the florist trade as has 

 this lamentable calamity. 



Clarksville, Tenn. — The wind and 

 hail storm of April 29 broke about 

 800 lights of glass in the greenhouse 

 of James Morton.
