OBITUARY. 



Mrs. TheotJosia B. Shepard, the well- 

 known floriculturist of California, 

 passed away at her home in Ventura 

 on Septemljer 8, in her sixty-flrst year. 

 Mrs. Shepherd went to California in 

 1873 from Iowa for her health and at 

 once made floriculture a study. Her 

 improved forms of garden flowers, 

 such as begonias, petunias and cos- 

 mos were well known and commanded 

 fancy prices. A husband, two daugh- 

 ters and a son survive her. 



Mrs. Janette P. Garthly, wife of 

 James Garthly, gardener for H. H. 

 Rogers in I<^airhaven, Mass., died Mon- 

 day, September 17, age 54 years, in Al- 

 mond Bank, Perth, Scotland, her native 

 home. 



Mrs. Garthly, with her daughter Mar- 

 garet, sailed the last of June for Scot- 

 land for her health, and had been 

 there at her home in Almond Bank 

 since that time. Last week a letter 

 was received from her stating her con- 

 dition, and this was followed the last 

 part of the week by a cablegram for 

 Mr. Garthly to go to her immediately. 

 Mr. Garthly sailed on tlie Campania 

 Saturday. Another cablegi'am received 

 by her son announced Mrs. Garthly's 

 death Monday. 



Mrs. Garthly is survived by her hus- 

 band and two children, Margaret, who 

 was with her. and William D., who is 

 employed in New Bedford. 



The bereavement is a singularly 

 sad one for Mr. Garthly, for whom 

 deep sympathy is felt by fellow gar- 

 deners and florist friends.
