RESOLUTIONS ON THE DEATH OF 



LAWRENCE W. KERVAN. 

 Adopted by the N. Y. Florists' Club. 



L.nwrence W. Kervnn, oxir brother, has 

 joined the innumerable throng. Those of 

 us who knew him best loved him the most. 

 His was a noble chnracter, genuine, un- 

 selfish, generous, true as steel. He was a 

 friend worth while. Full of hope and 

 good cheer, he always looked on the bright 

 side of life, and his companionship was 

 an Inspiration. Notwithstanding his 72 years 

 of labor and vicissitude, he had the tieart 

 and enthusiasm of youth. Such men are 

 needed here. It is not easy to become 

 reconciled to such bereavement as his fam- 

 ily suffered when he passed away. I'ntieut 

 and resigned, in much physical suffering, 

 he taught us all the lesson of brave sub- 

 mission to the inevitable, and the faith in 

 Immortality. He was not afraid to die; 

 to him' there was no sting to death. The 

 grave has lost its victory. It was but 

 crossing, with suspended breath, a little 

 strip of sea to find 

 "His loved ones on the other shore. 

 More beautiful, more precious than before." 



Mr. Kervan was born in New York City. 

 He was a veteran of the Grand Army of 

 the Repubiic, and In the Gallery of the 

 National Museum at Washington his por- 

 trait will ever remain a monument to his 

 loyalty and love of country. He built up 

 the most successful l)nsiness in evergreens 

 in the world — this also a monument to his 

 unfailing business integrity. He was never 

 heard to speak ill of any man. He was 

 respected by every man who knew him. 

 His name is honored and unsullied, a 

 blessed heritage to his family. 



Be it resolved tliat these resolutions be 

 spread upon the minutes of the club, and 

 that a copy be sent to his bereaved ones.

SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there Is a house that Is Joat 

 full of buds almost ready to show color, 

 nothing will turn better color Into the 

 flowers than a little soot, that can be 

 scattered over the benches before water- 

 ing. The amount applied should not b« 

 excessive, as the soot is very strong 

 and may damage some of the foliage 

 somewhat. Apply Just enough to blacken 

 the surface of the soil in the benches, 

 and let it go at that. Better a little 

 oftener than too much all at once.
