The personal friends of Prof. Norton mourn one who 

 was endeared to them by the closest intimacy, — the 

 scientific world, one of their brightest lights, and the 

 readers of the Cultivator, a most valuable correspondent. 

 Thus in the space of five short weeks, have we been 

 called to write the obituaries of the two most prominent 

 horticultural and agricultural writers of the day, men 

 whose places can not well be filled, and whose memories 

 will long be cherished by every lover of his country.
