 ber 23 at his home in Marshfield Hills,

 mous Marshall strawberry.

 John Burr, engaged in the florist 

 business in Freeport, Me., for over 

 half a century, died at his home in 

 that city on September 21, aged 78 

 years. Mr. Burr had charge of the

 R. He leaves a widow one sou and

Wilfred A. Brotherton. 



Wilfred A. Brotherton of Rochester, 

 Mich., member of the Detroit Institute 

 of Science and a collector of wild 

 flowers, whose knowledge of the plants 

 of this region was exceeded by that of 

 few, if any, persons in Michigan, died 

 Sunday, Sept. 20, in Harper hospital, 

 Detroit, after suffering for several 

 w'eeks from catarrhal Jaundice. 



Mr. Brotherton spent practically all 

 of his life in Rochester. He planted 

 the flowers and shrubbery which sur- 

 rounded the Michigan building at the 

 World's Fair. He was 56 years old. 



Sole ownership in the Maryland Ag- 

 ricultural College is now vested in 

 the State of Maryland following its 

 sale by public auction for $19,000. The 

 State authorities have long been try- 

 ing to obtain full control over this 

 college and its inability to do so is 

 said to have been the cause for the 

 unwillingness of its legislature to 

 make usual appropriations. The col- 

 lege was founded as a private institu- 

 tion and its stockholders contributed 

 nearly $50,000 as a gift to the State. 



Some of the stockholders were loath 

 to relinquish their holdings, but an 

 agreement was reached which resulted 

 in its sale.
