 Wobum, Mass., on Friday, June 4. He 

 was bom in Ireland. He leaves four

 Edward L.. J. Joseph and Walter H. 

 Aylward of Woburn. 



James Lockhart. 



James Lockhart, aged 81, a veteran 

 gardener and florist, who had been in 

 the employ of Florist J. E. Long, of 

 Holliston, the past fourteen years, died 

 on June 4 at the Union avenue hospi- 

 tal in Framingham, Mass., where he 

 was taken three weeks ago suffering 

 from an attack of grippe. He was 

 born in Scotland and had been in this 

 country since he was twenty years 

 old. He has no known relatives in 

 this country and, in feeble health for 

 the past year, has been cared for by 

 his employer. 



Charles F. Krueger. 



Mr. Krueger, who passed away on 

 the 4th inst.. was a well known figure 

 in the florist trade of Philadelphia. 

 He conducted the flower stand at the 

 Reading Terminal Station for many 

 years. Previous to this he was in the 

 greenhouse business at Narberth. He 

 was a member of the Florists' Club 

 and many other societies. He was a 

 cheerful and happy man up to about 

 twelve years ago when an unfortunate 

 family tragedy cast a gloom over his 

 life. This no doubt contributed to his 

 early demise — 41 years of age. Inter- 

 ment took place at Fernwood Cemetery 

 on June 7th, and was attended by 

 many of the leading figures in the 

 trade. 



Henry J. Weber. 



Henry J. Weber, 74 years old. found- 

 er of the H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery 

 Company at Nursery, Mo. died on June 

 3, following an illness of more than a 



year. He was one of the pioneer nsi 

 dents of St. Louis County, having 

 lived at Nursery since his birth. Five 

 years ago he retired from business and 

 turned over the nursery to his sons. 

 He is survived by his widow and six 

 children. 



Mr. Weber was an honorary member 

 of the St. Louis Florist Club whose 

 members spent several pleasant after- 

 noons as his guests during the sum- 

 mer months. At the funeral, Satur- 

 day, June 5, many fine floral emblems 

 were seen, one being from The St. 

 Louis Florist Club. 



TEXAS HAIL STORM. 

 Waco Florists Lose Heavily from Hail. 



The heavy hail storm which visited 

 Waco, on Wednesday night. May 26th, 

 did very heavy damage to two of 

 Waco's florists' establishments and 

 some damage to a third. Tom Wolfe 

 reports that about 7,000 feet of his 

 glass was broken. He has about 45,000 

 square feet of glass in his greenhouses 

 and the glass broken was pretty well 

 distributed over his entire set ol 

 liouses. There was not so very mucli 

 damage to indoor plants as most of tlu 

 pot stock had been removed; carna- 

 tions were nearing the end of the sea- 

 son's blooming and he had recently 

 c ul his rose stock back. His out-door 

 plants suffered very heavily. He had 

 a fine lot of gladiolus in the field and 

 they were cut to pieces. Insurance w'as 

 (arried on these houses. Repairs will 

 be made as soon as the material can 

 be had and the work done. 



The Waco Floral Company, which is 

 managed by T. W. Reed, reports that 

 their loss of glass was practically total. 

 Out of 25,000 square feet of glass they 

 saved only 690 panes. About 50 per 

 cent of pot plants in-doors were de- 

 stroyed. All out-door plants were 

 almost destroyed outright. Their 

 damage is estimated to be at least 

 13,000. No insurance was carried. 

 New glass has been ordered and the 

 houses will be repaired promptly. 



The Mohan Floral Company suffered 

 only slightly compared with the 

 others. Their damage is reported to 

 amount to about $150. 



There were two of these hail storms, 

 which visited Waco the same night. 

 The Wolfe houses were not very badly 

 damaged in the first, which came 

 about 8 p. m. He thought he had 



• scaped, but at about 1 o'clock a. m., 

 of the same night, another very severe 

 storm set in and resulted in the very 

 heavy damage to his range of glass. 



ROSE ARCHES AT TWIN OAKS. 



(See Cover Illustnitluu.j 

 As related in our notes from Wash- 

 ington, the members of the American 

 Rose Society who attended the exer- 

 cises attendant upon the dedication of 

 the Rose Test Gardens at Arlington, 

 Va., enjoyed a treat in the visit to 

 the beautiful Hubbard estate "Twin 

 Oaks," not the least factor of which 

 was the lovely scene which servea 

 as our cover illustration this week. 

 The arch in the forground is covered 

 with American Pillar, the next Dun- 

 dee Rambler, next Lady Gay, then 

 Carmine Pillar, Tausendschoen, Gar- 

 denia, Leichstern, Silver Moon, Reine 

 .•\ndree, and other, the arches form- 

 ing a continuous arbor extending from 

 the residence to the greenhouses. The 

 rose garden here is well stocked with 

 all the best tea and hybrid tea roses.
