Obituary. 



Arthur Harbison. 

 Arthur Harbison, florist, of Harrods- 

 burg, Ky., died on November 11. He 

 •was born in Shelbyville, Ky., and 

 moved to Harrodsburg about six years 

 ago. He leaves a wife and two chil- 

 dren. 



J. F. C. Ludemann. 

 J. P. C. Ludemann, who for nearly 

 fifty years conducted the Pacific nurs- 

 eries, in San Francisco, Calif., died on 

 October 31, after a long illness. He 

 commenced in the early sixties and 

 carried on the business until old age 

 caused him to give up active work. 

 One son and a daughter survive him. 



George F. Ditzenberger. 

 About six weeks ago George F. Ditz- 

 enberger, proprietor of the Woodcliff 

 Floral Co., Woodcliff Lake, N. J., re- 

 ceived an injury, by falling, which re- 

 sulted in his death on Nov. 11. He 

 was thirty-three years of age and 

 founded the Woodcliff Floral Co. 

 about eight years ago. He is survived 

 by his wife and one daughter. 



Walter S. Nichol. 

 On November 12, Walter S. Nichol, 

 florist, of Harrington, Conn., died as 

 the result of a shock received two 

 weeks before. He was a native of 

 England, coming to this country when 

 five years of age. About twenty years 

 ago he moved to Barrington where he 



was in the florist business for many 

 years. Three daughters survive him. 



Harry C. Phillips. 



While on a visit to Chillicothe, 0., 

 Harry C. Phillips, president of the 

 Phillips Nursery Co., IG State street, 

 Rochester, N. Y., was suddenly strick- 

 en with heart disease and died on Nov. 

 3. He was born in London, Out., Can- 

 ada, 69 years ago, and went to Roches- 

 ter about fifty years ago. For many 

 years he was with James Vick's Sons. 



WASHINGTON NOTES. 



The flower show held last week by 

 Gude Bros. Co. was notable for many 

 things; for the many people well- 

 known in public life who attended it 

 and for the novelties introduced. 



0. A. C. Oehmler took advantage of 

 the football fever which raged here 

 last Saturday and had 500 eight-inch 

 pennants attached to large chrysanthe- 

 mums which he sold at from 75 cents 

 to $1 each. 



The Florists' Exchange has moved 

 from 1213 I street, N. W., to the build- 

 ing formerly occupied by them at 1214 

 H street, N. W., which place has un- 

 dergone extensive improvements. The 

 usual display window has been done 

 away with at this store and in its 

 place a sheet of glass extends from the 

 door frame to the wall. Aside from a 

 small amount of space at the rear oc- 

 cupied by the office the entire first 

 floor is given over to the display of 

 palms and ferns and for the distribu- 

 tion of goods. 



Visitors: George 0. Watson, of Phil- 

 adelphia, and S. S. Skidelsky, Jr., of 

 New York. 



PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Frank Polites, the Chestnut street 

 florist, has returned from a four 

 months' sojourn in Europe. 



Lots of grip going the rounds these 

 days, nearly everybody has a touch of 

 it. Albert Cartledge, Jr., of Pennock 

 Bros'., is one among the many suf- 

 ferers. He was laid up for over a 

 week. 



E. H. Flood, burgomaster and glass 

 manufacturer, is absent from our midst 

 these days, being on a beneficent mis- 

 sion to supply the denizens of Pitts- 

 burgh and Memphis with bargains in 

 the brittle. We wish him luck. 



That the florists of today are up to 

 the minute was amply demonstrated 

 by one of the leading florists of Sa- 

 vannah, Ga., who wired B. Eschner, of 

 M. Rice & Co., Saturday, making an 

 appointment to purchase a complete 

 wedding outfit — arriving in Philadel- 

 phia Sunday at 4 A. M., making his 

 selections and leaving same day on the 

 3 P. M. train. Covering 1600 miles 

 is surely going some. 



Visitors: John Wolf, Savannah, 

 Ga.; W. B. Girvin. Leola, Pa.; Mr. and 

 Mrs. Guille, Portsmouth, Va.; Chas. 

 Vorkeller, S. Bethlehem, Pa.; Patrick 

 O'Mara, Peter Henderson & Co., M. B. 

 Faxon, New York City; Antoine 

 Leuthy, Roslindale. Mass. 



The Rhode Island State College was 

 well represented at the meeting of 

 Agricultural Colleges and Experiment 

 Stations held this week at Atlanta, 

 Ga. The delegates from Rhode Island 

 were President Howard Edwards, Dr. 

 Homer J. Wheeler, Dr. B. L. Hartwell 

 and Prof. A. E. Stene.
