Jacob Schulz. 



Jacob Schulz, of Louisville, Ky., one 

 of the pioneers of the trade in that city, 

 died July 21 of acute palpitation of the 

 heart, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. 

 Frances Luking, in Parkerton, Wyo. He 

 was born in Baden-Baden, Germany, 

 July 25, 1842, and was thus four days 

 less than 78 years old at the time of his 

 death. 



Mr. Schulz received a thorough train- 

 ing in Germany and when he came to 

 this country and to Louisville in 1863 he 

 at once took charge of the estate of 

 Colonel Alexander, at that time one of 

 the show plaxies around Louisville and 

 now a part of Cherokee park. In 

 1873 he started in business for himself 

 at 831 Cherokee road, from which ad- 

 dress he conducted all of his business 

 until 1904, when he bought the retail 

 business of the F. Morat's Sons Co., the 

 store at that time being near the corner 

 of Fourth and "Walnut streets. A few 

 years later he purchased the property at 

 550 Fourth avenue and continued a re- 

 tail store until about four years ago, 

 when he disposed of the retail business 

 to the Jacob Schulz Co., which had been 

 incorporated by his son, George E. 

 Schulz, its present president. 



Mr. Schulz was notable both for his 

 love of plant life and for his ability to 

 impart his knowledge to his employees; 

 many successful members of the trade 

 owe their progress in part to his instruc- 

 tion and guidance. He also believed 

 strongly in trade organizations. He was 

 one of the twenty-five pioneer members 

 of the S. A. F., served several times as 

 the state vice-president for that society 

 and was a regular attendant at the con- 

 ventions until the last two or three 

 years, when, because of his age, he was 

 not so regular. He was a charter mem- 

 ber of the Kentucky Society of Florists 

 and served as its president a number of 

 times. Except in the last two years, 

 it was never too hot or too cold for him 

 to attend the monthly meetings of the 

 state society and enter into all its activ- 

 ities. He was also a member of the 

 American Carnation Society. 



In 1877 he married Miss Elizabeth 

 Morat, daughter of Francis Morat, who 

 was the pioneer florist of Louisville. 



Mr. Schulz is survived by his wife, 

 two daughters, Mrs. Joseph A. Fueglein, 

 of Louisville, and Mrs. Frances Luking, 

 of Parkerton, Wyo.; four sons, Frank G. 

 J^chulz, city salesman for the Frank A. 

 Menne Candy Co.; George E. Schulz, 

 president of the Jacob Schulz Co.; Fred 

 Ij. Schulz, who was connected with his 

 father in business, and Henry J. Schulz, 

 M photographer. There are also three 

 brothers, two sisters and eleven grand- 

 •hildren to mourn his death. 



The funeral services were held Mon- 

 lay morning, July 26, from St. Martin's 

 'toman Catholic church; interment was 

 in Cave Hill cemetery. The active pall- 

 bearers were present and former em- 

 ployees who had been with Mr. Schulz 

 for long periods of time. The display of 

 dowers was particularly beautiful; 

 many of the floral tokens of regard came 

 from distant points. 



To the trade around Louisville Mr. 

 Schulz was lovingly known and always 

 'Slled **bo88." To the writer he was 



Jacob Scbulz. 



for sixteen years an actual "boss" and 

 for thirty-two years an affectionati' 

 "boss." A. R. Baumer. 



Edwin G. Scott. 



Edwin G. Scott, owner of the Marsh - 

 field Florist Co., Marshfield, Ore., died 

 July 16 at Camp Lewis, Washington, 

 at the age of 35 years. He was killed 

 by the explosion of a 6-inch rifle while 

 at target practice with his company of 

 the Oregon Coast Artillery, Oregon Na- 

 tional Guard. 



Mr. Scott was born in Nebraska and 

 moved to Garfield, Wash., in 1900. After 

 completing a high school course at Gar- 

 field he attended the floricultural courses 

 at the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege, at Amherst. 



In 1906 he built two small greenhouses 

 at Garfield; these were torn down in 

 1908 to be replaced by larger and more 

 modern houses. At this time he was 

 joined by his brother, Louis R. Scott, 

 in a partnership under the name of the 

 Roselawn Greenhouses. In 1911 the 

 firm bought J. L. Bourn's range at Mos- 

 cow, Ida., to which it moved the Gar- 

 field range. Because of poor health 

 Edwin Scott in 1915 severed his connec- 

 tion with the firm of Roselawn Green- 

 houses and moved to Marshfield, Ore., 

 where he engaged in business under the 

 firm name of the Marshfield Florist Co., 

 having bought the store and greenhouses 

 of the Drew Floral Co. He had re- 

 cently been experimenting with the 

 shipment of cut rhododendron blooms 

 for April, May and June use and had 

 shipped, during the season just past, 

 large quantities of the blooms to various 

 points west of the Rocky mountains. 



He is survived by his wife, who was 

 formerly Miss Ella Farver, of Des 

 Moines, la., and to whom he was mar- 

 ried in 1912. She has been closely as- 

 sociated in the business with her hus- 

 band. 



Funeral services were held from the 

 Methodist church July 19. All business 

 houses remained closed during the serv- 

 ices. L. B. S.

 lyn, N. Y., July 4, died July 17 as a 

 result of the attack. Mrs. Johnson died

Mrs. M. S. Foreman. 



ilrs. M. S. Foreman, widow of the 

 late Charles H. Foreman, died at her 

 home in Louisiana, Mo., July 18, after 

 a brief illness following a stroke of 

 apoplexy the Friday before, from which 

 she never regained consciousness. Mrs. 

 Foreman continued the florists' business 

 after the death of her husband and 

 built up a reputation as a successful 

 business woman. She was assisted in 

 the business by her daughter, Miss Ruth 

 Foreman, who will continue to operate 

 it. 



John Macoun. 



Professor John Macoun, a leading bot- 

 anist of Canada, died at his home at 

 Sydney, B. C, July 18. He was known 

 as a great contributor to the science of 

 botany. He is survived by his wife, 

 three daughters and one son, W. T. 

 Macoun, of the experimentsil farm, 

 Ottawa, Can.
