The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Januabt 12. 1905. 



passed away December 26, after an 

 illness of two years, the result of a stroke 

 of paralysis. A second attack seized him 

 on December 22, after which he was 

 conscious except for an interval just be- 

 fore his death, but unable to talk. L. 

 M. Eamberlin, a son, was on a trip 

 among the trade in the east and was 

 reached by wire at Kansas City. He 

 arrived home twenty-four hours after his 

 father passed away. The funeral was 

 held December 28, many California seed 

 growers attending. 



Mr. Kimberlin was born in Virginia 

 January 20, 1828. He graduated with 

 honors from Dickinson College, and at the 

 age of 24 married and removed to Cali- 

 fornia, journeying by the Isthmus. Mr. 

 Kimberlin became an instructor in the 

 San Jose Academy, and later was pro- 

 fessor of languages in the University of 

 the Pacific, at that time located at Santa 

 Clara. Forty years ago he found it 

 necessary to seek outdoor occupation and 

 turned to the then unexplored business of 

 seed growing. To him may justly be 

 given credit for blazing the trail which 

 has now been widened to a great highway, 

 It was a slow matter to build up confi- 

 dence in the east, not so much in the 

 grower as in the seeds resulting under 

 Californian conditions, but that problem 

 solved, the business has developed stead- 

 ily until today thousands of acres in 

 Santa Clara and Kern counties are pro- 

 ducing seeds to be sent out under the 

 Kimberlin label. Their crops cover the 

 whole range of items for which Cali- 

 fornia is looked to as the main 

 source of supply. Onions, lettuces and 

 sweet peas are the principal acreages. 



Mr. and Mrs. Kimberlin had nine 

 children, two of whom have passed 

 away. Three sons, C. R., L. M. and H. 

 V. Kimberlin, are associated with the 

 business, and, indeed, it has been prac- 

 tically in their charge for several years. 

 They will continue it without change 

 of policy. 



By a decree of fate, Mr. Kimberlin 

 passed away on the first anniversary of 

 the day his companion on fifty-one years' 

 of life 's journey was laid at rest in the 

 churchyard where both now sleep.
