William W^ildsmith, for twenty-five years gardener at 

 Heckfield Place, Winchfield, England, died January 29. He 

 was a man of great mental breadth and varied experience, 

 and admirably adapted by his temper and extensive knowledge 

 for aiding and improving the plans of his employer, the late 

 Viscount Eversley. 



In the course of his industrious career he won no less than 

 a hundred and fifty prizes, many of them firsts, and a consid- 

 erable portion for grapes, although he was such an all-around 

 man that he might be expected in any department of an ex- 

 hibition in which high-class English gardening might be rep- 

 resented. — TJie Gardene?-s' Magazine.
