THE LATE JACKSON DAWSON. 



Dear Mr. Editor:— I have only just 

 read in your issue of August 12th of 

 the death of Jackson Dawson, and if 

 I may be allowed to do so. I should 

 like to add my few poor words as a trib- 

 ute to his memory. As you are aware I 

 have been visiting the States for over 

 20 years, and my earliest recollection, 

 and my latest recollection has been 

 the same, the deep feeling of friend-i 

 ship for the man. and my intense ad- 

 miration of his ability. 1 never met a 

 better friend than Jackson Dawson and 

 f never met anybody with such a brain 

 for horticulture in its true sense, and 1 

 tor one shall sadly miss his cheery 

 prosiMici- and wonderful enthusiasm. 

 Yours sincerely, 

 F. GOMER Waterer. 



Bagshot, England. Sept. 4.
