Obituary 



William E. Doyle. 

 William E. Doyle, one of the pioneer 

 florists of Boston, passed away after 

 one day's Illness at liis home in Brook- 

 line, Mass., on Sunday, April 16. Mr. 

 Doyle was born in Roxbury, Mass., 



dissolved, Mr. Dee locating in another 

 place and Mr. Doyle retaining the 

 old establishment. Five years later 

 he purchased the Hovey estate with 

 greenhouses and nurseries at Cam- 

 bridge, as an adjunct to his business. 

 Later he removed his store to .306 

 Boylston street and added a branch 

 establishment at 6 Beacon street. The 

 Cambridge property was finally dis- 

 posed of for residential use and the 

 location of a city hospital and about 

 one year ago Mr. Doyle finally retired 

 from business. 



Mr. Doyle was a master of the art 

 of floral arrangement. He could do 

 more with a specified quantity of ma- 

 terial and in less time than any man 

 v/e have ever known in the flower 



lif 



trade. His taste was exquisite and he 

 easily took first place among the old- 

 time florists, who did not have the 

 stock or the accessories which florists 

 of the present day have at their dis- 

 posal. For many years he was the 

 Class Day decorator at Harvard Col- 

 lege. He leaves two sons and one 

 daughter.

 18. aged 75 years lacking one day. He

 having formerly been in the employ of 

 Phelps, the Florist, in his Pleasant 

 street place.

 flower establishments then existing In 

 this country, not only as retail florists 

 but as shippers of Bonsilene roses, 

 smilax, etc., to New York, Philadelphia 

 and elsewhere. In 1883 the firm was
