In 1900, August and bis brother Ru-

 in the greenhouses, and Maj. E. Ray 

 Shaw went into partnership with 

 them. In a recent issue we announced 

 the disposal of the business to Fred 

 D. Sperry by Mr. Gaedeke, wbo was 

 planning to retire. 



.•Vugust (Jaedeke was an alert busi- 

 ness man, industrious and self-reliant. 

 He was a floriculturist, also, of more 

 than ordinary ability. He made many 

 friends in the trade and among the 

 leading men of his town by his manly 

 traits and impulsively hospitable dis- 

 position. 



He was married to Miss Ida Benson 

 in Nashua. Aug. 12. 1902. and she has 

 been a great help to him not only in 

 the home but in his business, in which 

 she took an active interest. She is 

 grief stricken at his death. Besides 

 his widow, he has two brothers, Al- 

 bert of Perth. Scotland, and Rudolph

TIME FOR FIGHTING. 

 Reports from all directions indicate 

 an unusually large invasion of insect 

 enemies this season. Gypsy moths, 

 lirown-tail moths, canker worms, leaf 

 rollers, cut worms, aphis, tussock 

 moths, white flies, thrips, red spider 

 and heaven knows how many other 

 members of the pest family are getting 

 in their work with a iierseverance 

 ■Aorthy of a submarine. These can all 

 lie fought off by using modern ammu- 

 nition and there is a good variety 

 offered for this purpose In the pages 

 of this paper. Get busy with the ad- 

 vertisers in this department, who are 

 among your best friends. And, by the 

 way, there are potato bugs and various 

 beetles to be reckoned with — and 

 Hammond can tell you what Slug Shot 

 does to these marauders. 



Springfield, Mass. — Marshall 

 Headle, head gardener for the park de- 

 partment has resigned his position and 

 will enter business. Herbert \V. Headle, 

 his brother, and other park employees 

 will have charge of the work in the 

 future, although Marshall Headle has 

 consented to assist in certain work in 

 the rose gardens next fall, a part of 

 the park system in which he has been 

 greatly interested.
