Mr. Johnson says " his works are of the first authority, 

 and rank as the equals of those of Abercrombie, being the 

 result of long practice during an enlightened era of our 

 art." 



James Maddock, of the Society of Friends, and commer- 

 cial florist, at Walworth, where, about the middle of last 

 century, he established the florist garden there, now belong- 

 ing to Milliken and Curtis. He died about 180G. He pub- 

 lished the Florist's Directory, and Complete Treatise on the 



children, and died in 178.'3, in the same room in which lie was born, at the 

 age of a hundred and one years. Reflecting on the great age of some of the 

 above, reminds me of what a "Journal Encyclopedique" said of Lestibou- 

 dois, another horticulturist and botanist, who died at Lille, at the age of. 

 ninety, and who (for even almost in our ashes live their wonted fires) gave 

 lectures in the very last year of his life. " When he had (says an ancient 

 friend of his) but few hours more to live, he ordered snow-drops, violets, and 

 crocuses, to be brought to his bed, and compared them with the figures in 

 Tournefort. His whole existence had been consecrated to the good of the 

 public, and to the alleviation of misery; thus he looked forward to his disso- 

 lution with a tranquillity of soul that can only result from a life of rectitude; 

 he never acquired a fortune; and left no other inheritance to his ehildren, 

 but integrity and virtue."
