REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON VEGETABLES. 185 



gardeners in New England and had been closely identified with 

 the vegetable interests of the Society since his election as a member 

 in 1894. 



He was a member of the Boston INIarket Gardeners' Association 

 ever since its foundation in 1886 and will always be remembered 

 by the members of that organization as one of its most enthusiastic 

 members in everything tending to the best interests of that society. 



He had served as a member of the Vegetable Committee of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society for the past six years and 

 was ever a help to his fellow members; his wide experience and 

 geniality making it a pleasure to serve with him. 



In his business relations he was always the soul of honor and 

 may his life always serve as an example to the members of this 

 Society. It is by the influence of such men as he that the market 

 garden business of today stands on so high a plane.
