OBITUARY. 



J. P. Coco, Jr., Lexington, Mo. 



John Peter Coen, Jr., aged nearly 50 

 years, died June 24. He was the son 

 of Mr. and Mrs. John P. Coen and 

 was born in Albany, N. Y., November 

 4, 1856. The family came to Lafayette 

 county a few years later. In 1888 Mr. 

 Coen was married to Miss Charlotte 

 Johanna Voigt, daughter of Mr. and 

 Mrs. P. W. Voigt, of Hous^jiia, Mis- 

 souri. 



In 1888 Mr. Coen engaged in the busi- 

 ness of florist, his first place of busi- 

 ness being on Twenty-fourth street near 

 South. About twelve years ago he built 

 a home on South Eighteenth street and 

 greatly enlarged his business, which he 

 has conducted with eminent success. 

 Close application to his work began to 

 tell on his health several years ago, and 

 \ though he sought every available means 

 of relief, he grew steadily worse. For 

 nearly a year he has entertained but 

 little hope of his recovery. Mr. Coen 

 was highly esteemed in the community 

 as a man of fraternal spirit and as a 

 business man of integrity and ability. 

 E. D. Ellsworth. 



De Haven, Pa. — John L. Wyland says 

 he will cease growing roses and devote 

 all his glass to carnations. 



We are well pleased with results from 

 our advertisement in the Review. — C. P.

GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was hel'd Wednesday evening, June 13, 

 with President Harrison in the chair. 

 The meeting was well attended. Two 

 new members were elected and one nomi- 

 nated to active membership. In this 

 respect the society is most progressive, 

 as at every monthly meeting since its 

 formation new members have been 

 elected. 



The floral exhibits this month were 

 confined chiefly to roses, of which some 

 grand blooms were staged. The prize 

 for twelve varieties of outdoor grown 

 roses was awarded to H. F. Meyers. In 

 the scale of points class, A. Mackenzie 

 scored ninety-eight points with a vase 

 of delphiniums, collection of strawberries 

 and dish of peaches; L. Trepess, ninety- 

 six and two-thirds for vases of carna- 

 tions, Canterbury bells and roses; I. 

 Swen, eighty-three for lettuce; and C. 



Lenker, seventy-eight for peonies and 

 roses. 



C. Bertanzel gave some interesting and 

 practical remarks on growing American 

 Beauty roses, which were attentively 

 heard. They will be followed at the 

 next meeting by a more exhaustive paper 

 on the same subject. 



A box of cigars for sweet peas in three 

 varieties, twenty-five of each, will be 

 competed for at the next meeting.

SCARBORO, N. Y. 



The F. E. Pierson Co. plant at Scar- 

 boro is well worth a visit nowadays and, 

 with its addition of over thirty acres 

 of nursery and the cleaning up and 

 planting of these, combined with the 

 erection of two enormous greenhouses 

 containing some 50,000 square feet of 

 glass, the busy scene is a revelation. 

 The purchase of the real estate was a 

 most profitable enterprise, its value 

 literally doubling in a night. The view 

 up and down the Hudson from its eleva- 

 tion is entrancing. The new houses will 

 make a plant of nearly a quarter of a 

 million square feet under glass. The 

 Winsor carnation will be extensively 

 grown and the White Lawson and Helen 

 Gould largely, with Mr. Pierson 's other 

 specialties, but Winsor will get the lion's 

 share. 



In the nursery are grand specimens of 

 retinospora, Japanese maples, blue 

 spruce and everything else of value in 

 the ornamental line. Mr. Pierson will 

 have a fine exhibit at Dayton. His work 

 with the schools and philharmonic and 

 other societies make him one of the 

 busiest men in Tarrytown. Samuel Mur- 

 ray, of Kansas City, was a visitor here 

 June 22. J. A. S. 



SCRANTON, PA. 



An involuntary petition in bankruptcy 

 was filed June 18 against F. W. Wilson, 

 trading at 411 Spruce street, as the Re- 

 liable Seed and Floral Co. The petition 

 was filed by Attorney A. V. Bower, who 

 represents J. L. Dillon, the Roseville 

 Pottery Co., the Foote *& Shear Co., and 

 others. Wilson admits his insolvency 

 and declares that he will not oppose the 

 petition.
