AN APPRECIATION. 



Dr. Wm W. Tracy, Sr. 



The horticultural interests of our 

 country, and esitecially those concerned 

 with vegetable growing, cannot fail to 

 be grateful for the life worlc of the late 

 Dr. Will W. Tracy, Sr. The passing 

 of our old friend and master was sig- 

 nalized by a devoted gathering in 

 Washington March 3. The funeral was 

 held at the home of his son, John Tracy, 

 where he liad been warmly cared for 

 by a devoted family for nearly two 

 years. The service of the Congrega- 

 tional church was followed by the rites 

 of the (irand Army, six comrades of the 

 ]-5urnside post of the Department of the 

 I'otomac participating. The wreath, 

 the laurel, the rose and the flag, all sym- 

 bolic of honors of other days, were laid 

 upon the bier. Floral tributes from the 

 Department of Agriculture, from gov- 

 ernment officials, from seedsmen and 

 from many friends of by-gone years 

 gave evidence of respect and affection. 

 1). M. Ferry & Co. honored long and 

 faithful service with a wreath of white 

 roses and orchids. The pallbearers for 

 the most part were co-workers in the 

 department, men who had spent long 

 days with Doctor Tracy in the Arlington 

 trial grounds. Thus the final rites were 

 performed. 



One would indeed be ungrateful and 

 of short memory to allow the passing of 

 this old veteran to occur without a con- 

 sideration of the rich heritage he leaves 

 us. All horticulture has been materially 

 advanced by his painstaking and con- 

 summate work. It is perhaps not gen- 

 erally known that he was improving 

 I)lant types according to the Mendelian 

 theory several years prior to the an- 

 nouncement of Mendel 's law. He early 

 recognized the possibilities of raising 

 all stocks to levels of near-perfection. 

 Fully realizing the possibilities for in- 

 finite work in this direction and deeply 

 deploring existing conditions and prac- 

 tices, he determined to devote his en- 

 tire life to the development of higher 

 types, especially as relating to the com- 

 mercial seed supply. 



His vast wealth of experience and his 

 willingness to impart his knowledge 

 made him a true counselor in the best 

 sense. His unselfishness and thought- 

 fulness endeared him to all who knew 

 him. This especially applied to those of 

 us who are younger and, therefore, less 

 deserving. His warm and affectionate 

 spirit has enriched the lives of all who 

 came in contact with him. Doctor 

 Tracy was a man who stood adamant 

 for the old realities — simplicity, loy- 

 alty, virtue and truthfulness. In ac- 

 knowledging the Spartan virtues of such 

 a life, no one can be oblivious to the 

 high standards which he has set for us. 

 With this spirit, and this only, shall we 

 sav farewell. Francis C. Stokes.
