Obituary 



Wm. L. Palinsky. 



Wm. L. Palinsky, florist, of Chicago, 

 died October 10. o£ quick consuniptioii. 

 Mr. Palansky was one of the oldest 

 and most enterprising florists in the 

 city and had built up a big business 

 from a very small beginning. His 

 daughter, Sadie, will continue the 

 business. The funeral was held Oc- 

 tober 13 from the residence at 2867 

 Palmer street. 



Nelson B. White. 



N. B. White, a well-known grape 

 grower and occasional writer for 

 Hor.TiCT'i.xrRE on the subject of grape 

 hybridization died on October 20, at 

 his home in Norwood, Mass., in his 

 91st year. 



For more than halt a century Mr. 

 White experimented with grape cul- 

 ture. His garden was his laboratory. 

 Many years ago he offered his property 

 to the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege, but the transfer was never ef- 

 fected. He originated several varieties 

 of grapes that stood at the head for 

 nursery lists for years. The original 

 vines still live in the Norwood garden, 

 though several of them were "sold out" 

 for $500 each to the nurserymen in va- 

 rious parts of the country, and Mr. 

 White, years ago, was in the habit 

 every fall of clipping, packing and 

 shipping the buds to the owners. One 

 of his last productions was the Early 

 Bird, which Mr. White claimed should 

 prove as rich and famous for Massa- 

 chusetts as the Concord grape did for 

 New York.

The dropping of the leaves reminds 

 us that the time for combating scale 

 pests is at hand. We have heard 

 nothing but good reports of the ef- 

 ficacy of Scalecide for this work in 

 the past and large quantities of it 

 will be needed this season, judging 

 from reports on scale prevalence in 

 many sections. B. G. Pratt Company 

 guarantee that this remedy will do 

 everything that lime-sulphur claims to 

 do as a dormant spray, and some 

 things that lime sulphur cannot do. 

 They also guarantee that Scalecide, 

 used according to the directions, will 

 kill every scale hit with it, and some 

 not actually hit, because of its crawl- 

 ing nature, without injury to tree or 

 fruit bud.
