The Florists' Review 



49 



til February 3 of this year, when lie re- 

 tired. It was in 1889 that Mr. Her 

 iiianii first entered the florists' business. 



Mr. Hermann was one of the indus- 

 trious and thrifty men of the old school 

 and his death, although momentarily 

 expected for some days, came as a 

 shock to his many acquaintances and 

 friends. He was a member of the Evan- 

 gelical Reformed church and, prior to 

 the disl)anding of the St. John's K(^ 

 formed church, served that congrega- 

 tion for many years as an elder. He- 

 was also a member of the S. A. F. ami 

 of the Baltimore Florists' Club. 



Besid(!S his widow, who before mar 

 riagc was Miss Elizabeth Diehl, lie is 

 survived by the following children; 

 Mrs. Henry Raabc, Charles A. and Miss 

 Elizabeth Hermann, and Reverend Ed- 

 ward A. G. Hermann, pastor of Trinity 

 Reformed church, Mercersburg, I'a. 

 One brother, Richard Hermann; one sis- 

 ter. Miss Marie Hermann, and two 

 grandchildren also survive. 



Harry A. Barnard. 



A cable from England has brought tlie 

 rcigrettable tidings that Harry A. Bar- 

 nard, of Winchmere Hill, Loudon, Eng- 

 land, is no more. The deceased was 7o 

 years of age. Described as "unique 

 among salesmen,'' he had been with one 

 firm, Stuart Low & Co., of Bushhill Park, 

 Kngland, for more than half a century 

 and [irevious to that with Hugh Low 

 & Co. 



Mr. Barnard had made nunuTous trii)s 

 to America for his firm. Submarines 

 o])erating did not halt him, liut when 

 qnarautiiic Ii7 went into effect his wel- 

 come visits stopped, Miss Eileen Low 

 taking his place. He was well, aye, 

 affectionately, known to many in the 

 tratle and on ])rivate estates in .America; 

 these were always glad to have a visit 

 from him and will sincerely regret his 

 passing. 



Some time ago Mr. Barnard celebrated 

 his fiftieth anniversary with Stuart Low 

 & Co. and received many congratula- 

 tions. Although long past the allotted 

 milestone of life, he was hale and hearty 

 until almost the last. Many of his 

 friends received cards from him only 

 last Christmas. There was no traveling 

 representative who had more friends and 

 his memory will remain fresh in their 

 minds. W. NT. C. 



John Page. 



.John Page, one of the most noted men 

 of the British trade, died March 7, 

 after a severe illness. Mr. Page had 

 been connected with the florists' trade 

 for upwards of forty years. For twenty- 

 one years he had been associated with 

 his brother Edward, as J. & E. Page, 

 as salesmen in Covent Oarden, London. 

 Kndowed with a strong persoujility an<l 

 wonderful business ability, he will be 

 greatly missed by all who htv. connected 

 with the Covent Garden industry. 



Mr. Page was (1.3 years of age and 

 the second son of Matthew Henry 

 Page, who practically founded the 

 flower-growing industry in the Hampton 

 district. The funeral took place March 

 11 at All Saints' church, Hampton, and 

 interment was at Teddington cemetery.

 Frederick road. He is survived by three 

 l)rotliers, Adolph F., Frederick C. and 

 .Joseph Stoll, and three sisters, Sojihia, 

 Anne and Mary. Mr. Stoll was a merti 

 l)er of the Hjil'timore Florists' Club. 



Charles M. Loring. 



Charles M. Loring, one of the build- 

 ers of Minneapolis, often called the 

 father of the park system, died March 

 18, at his home in Minneapolis. Ijoring 

 park, Loring c:is<-ades in Glenwood park, 

 the N'ictory memorial drive and the 

 trees on the two boulevards from

 of his work. 



Mr. Loring was born in Portland, Me., 

 November 1.'!, 1832. His father was a

 trips with him. He later became a mate 

 on his father's sliip. In 18.")fi he starte(l

 influential way. Mr. Loring was in- 

 fluential in bringing the North Amer- 

 ican Telegraph Co. to Minneapolis, and 

 served as its pri'sident in the early 

 days. He was always interested in 

 fruits and flowers. He promoted many 

 of the early flower and fruit shows. He 

 was a life member of the State Horti- 

 cultural Society and always attended its 

 meetings and shows. The Loring ])lum 

 is named in his honor. Perhajis his 

 greatest work along horticultural lines 

 was in encouraging the planting of 

 trees. He collected a fine set of slides 



and often gave talks throughout the 

 state on tree planting. He personally 

 paid for setting the trees on the Minne- 

 toiika boulevards and provided for their 

 care with a sum of money.

 side, Cal., during his residence there.

NICOTINE-BUENED MUMS. 



What is the trouble with the leaves 

 sent you from our stock mum i)l:nits? 

 Could it be caused by a too strong aji- 

 plication of nicotine? W. E. S. — N. Y. 



These chrysanthemum leaves arc 

 liiirned by using ;i nicotine spr.-iying 

 liquid too strong. When spraying in the 

 future, cut down the strength of the 

 nicotine to, as near as possible, the direc- 

 tions that come with the liquid, about 

 fortv jiarts of water to one ])art of nico- 

 tine.' M. I". 



THE STAB SALESMAN. 



(^■ood salesmen are scarce and there is 

 IK) question that the trade a)>preciates 

 the good ones it has. Like this:

If you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising, you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of niontw
