 aged 70 years. He was born in the old 

 Parks homestead, at 90 Broadway, 

 Flushing. Upon the death of his 

 father, in 1882, he took over his wheel- 

 wright business, which he conducted 

 until 1894, when he moved to Pat- 

 chogue. Since living in Patchogue he 

 had been engaged in the florist busi- 

 ness. He leaves a widow, a brother

 for some time secretary of the Cleve- 

 land Florists' Club and his brother W. 

 J. Kennedy is now president of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- 

 ton. He was recognized as a grower of 

 e.xceptional ability, especially in roses 

 under glass. He was always popular 

 and many friends in Philadelphia and 

 elsewhere will regret his passing away. 



Joseph Wolniewicz. 

 Joseph Wolniewicz passed away 

 June 26, at his home, 1214 School 

 street, Chicago, after an illness of 

 eight months. For business purposes 

 he dropped all but the first part of his

 the name of Joseph Wall. Born In

 time in the army and when 25 came 

 to Chicago, where he has lived ever 

 since. Mr. Wall leaves a widow, three 

 sons, of whom Julius P. and William

 daughters. 



Robert Rust. 



Recent papers from Arbroath, Scot- 

 land, contain extended announcements 

 of the death in that city of Robert 

 Rust, father of W. C. Rust of Jamaica 

 Plain, Mass., for several years the well- 

 known gardener of the Weld estate. 

 The late Mr. Rust was 68 years old and 

 for many years had been superinten- 

 dent of the beautiful Western Ceme- 

 tery in Arbroath, and was well known 

 over a wide section of Scotland for his 

 ability in his calling. In 1895 he was 

 appointed superintendent of Western 

 Cemetery and year after year under 

 his management the cemetery in- 

 creased in beauty until it came to be 

 recognized as one of the most pic- 

 turesque burial places in Scotland. His 

 remains were interred amid the beau- 

 tiful surroundings his own hands and 

 artistic talent had helped to fashion. 



A writer in the Arbroath Guide pavs 

 the following tender tribute to the 

 deceased:

writ, a record of work well done as has 

 Mr. Robert Rust, the late custodian of our 

 burial grounds. Since the days of John 

 Nicoll, who planned and laid out our 

 first 'Newn Cemetery,' It was an unbroken 

 tradition of work in this connection, care- 

 fully aud with love accomplished, to which 

 Mr. Rust fell heir, to which now, also, 

 his successor succeeds. In Mr. Rust's 

 hands these traditions were more than 

 successfully maintained ; and now that he 

 also sleeps in the beautiful "garden en- 

 closed.' which he has tended so long and 

 .so faithfully, his works — in this as In 

 other things faithfully accomplished— do 

 follow him to his rest." 



MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



The Department of Floriculture, in 

 conjunction with the Library, has Just 

 published a librar.v leaflet on "Books 

 for the Amateur Flower Gardener." 

 In the very near future a second leaf- 

 let will be published by the Depart- 

 ment on "Books for the Professional 

 Grower" which will include works of.a 

 more technical nature and of greater 

 value to professional men. 



In the Summer School (June 29 to 

 July 28) a course in floriculture will 

 be given covering the subject of the 

 growing of flowers in the home and 

 in the garden. This course is designed 

 to familiarize students with the sub- 

 jects of containers, potting soils, fer- 

 tilizers. Insecticides, and with the prep- 

 aration and planting of flower beds, 

 and the propagation and culture of 

 plants suitable for the window garden. 

 A study of the varieties and culture 

 of tender annuals and perennials will 

 also be made. The work will be sup- 

 plemented by discussions on the plan- 

 ning of formal flower gardens and in- 

 formal borders.
