Perry J. Crockett. 



Perry J. Crockett, treasurer of the 

 Templin-Crockett-Bradley Co., Cleve- 

 land, O., died at his home, 1450 Clar- 

 ence avenue, Lakewood, 0., Saturday, 

 July 31, from general neuritis. 



Mr. Crockett had not been feeling 

 well for some time, but was able to 

 attend to all of his duties. In com- 

 pany with P. A. Bradley and their two 

 families, he drove from his home to 

 the meetings of the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, at Chicago, and 

 the American Seed Trade Association, 

 at Milwaukee, during the last week ot 

 June. On the return trip Mr. Crockett 

 became gradually worse and, upon con- 

 sultation with his physician, he was 

 advised to give up business for a short 

 time. Within the week he was ordered 

 to bed and he gradually became worse 

 until the end came. 



Mr. Crockett was born on the farm 

 of his parents, Robert J. and Caroline 

 L. Crockett, May 9, 1876, near Can- 

 field, in Mahoning county, O. He was 

 educated at the Northeastern Ohio 

 Normal College, in Canfield, and fol- 

 lowing graduation, purchased a farm of 

 his own, where he lived for several 

 years. 



His first experience in the seed and 

 nursery business was gained with the 

 old firm of L. Templin & Sons, Calla, O., 

 w^here he worked for a number of 

 years, during which time he became 

 acquainted with and married the eldest 

 daughter of E. L. Templin. They later 

 went back to their farm and lived there 

 until thirteen years ago, when Mr. and 

 Mrs. Crockett moved to Cleveland to 

 unite with R. L. Templin and P. A. 

 Bradley in forming the Templin-Crock- 

 ett-Bradley Co. 



Mr. Crockett was an active church- 

 man, having served for twelve years on 

 the official board of the Franklin 

 Circle Christian church. His interest in 

 civic affairs was attested to by his activ- 

 ities in the Cleveland Advertising Club, 

 the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce 

 and the Cleveland Automobile Club. He 

 was also in attendance at each of the 

 annual meetings of the seed and nurs- 

 ery associations ever since his com- 

 pany was admitted to membership in 

 these organizations. 



Mr. Crockett 's love of farm life made 

 his work of the greatest interest to him. 

 He particularly enjoyed the supervision 

 of the nursery, taking great pride in 

 keeping it in such condition as to 

 always bring forth pleasing comments 

 from visitors. His personality was 

 such as to win for him many warm 

 friends. Especially was this true among 

 the employees of the company, with 

 ■vshom he was in daily touch. 



Mr. Crockett is survived by his wife, 

 Mrs. Maude M. Crockett; two daugh- 

 ters, Ruth Genevieve, aged 15, and Elsie 

 Elizabeth, aged 9; two sons, Leland 

 Virgil, aged 7, and Robert Richard, 

 aged 4; also by his mother, Caroline L. 

 Crockett, of Canfield, 0.; a sister, Mrs. 

 Walter Cook, of the same place, and 

 two brothers, Frank L. and Jay L. 

 Crockett, both of Youngstown, O. 



Funeral services were held at his 

 home Monday afternoon, August 2. 



Perry J. Crockett. 



Burial was at Riverside cemetery. In 

 the death of Mr. Crockett, his firm, 

 the community, the church and his host 

 of intimate friends will suffer a real 

 loss and his family, a loving husband 

 and father. G. F. B.

INSECTS CHEW LEAVES. 



I am sending you a leaf of the Japan- 

 ese windflower. Can you give any cause 

 for the condition of this leaf and the 

 remedy for it? G. S. — Can. 



The leaves have been badly chewed by 

 some insect. Spray with arsenate of 

 lead at the rate of one pound to twelve 

 and one-half gallons of water. This is 

 for moist lead. Dry lead can be applied 

 at one-half the nbove strength and will 

 be equally effective. C. W.
