THE DALLAS MEETING. 



E. Albertson, president of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, writes: 

 ' ' The indications are very good for our 

 meeting at Dallas June 13 to 15, and if 

 present prospects are realized we will 

 have one of the largest meetings ever 

 held. From almost every section reports 

 are coming in of parties intending to 

 go, many more than we have had at 

 this time in the past. We think most 

 agreeable and pleasant arrangements 

 for the trip will be made, so the entire 

 trip will be a kind of grand reunion. 

 We hope to leave St. Louis by special 

 train with from 100 to 200 of our mem- 

 bers, same to be joined by Kansas City 

 and other delegations by the next morn- 

 ing, so we will have a good time all the 

 way through. The Rock Island-Frisco 

 System makes a rate of one fare plus 

 $2 for the round trip from St. Louis, 

 going via one route and returning an- 

 other." 



Secretary Geo. C. Seager says the 

 Oriental hotel will be headquarters. 

 Rates will be $2.50 per day and up, 

 American plan. Members are advised 

 to engage rooms in advance.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL. 



April 28 A. E. DeMange bought Sid- 

 ney Tuttle 's interest in the Phoenix Nur- 

 sery Company. The capital stock of the 

 company is $200,000 and Mr. Tuttle 

 owned one-half. He retains a nominal 

 interest and at the reorganization meet- 

 ing April 28 was elected vice-president. 

 The stockholders elected as directors, W. 

 E. Rossney, A. E. DeMange and Ralph 

 G. DeMange and the officers chosen are: 

 A. E. DeMange, president; Sidney Tut- 

 tle, vice-president, and W. E. Rossney, 

 secretary and treasurer. Mr. Tuttle has 

 been associated with the nursery for 

 twenty-four years. Mr. Rossney, who 

 came to Bloomington from Rochester, 

 lias been identified with the business for 

 twenty-five years. 



The Phoenix Nursery for a half cen- 

 tury has been one of the foremost insti- 

 tutions of Bloomington and Normal. It 

 was founded in 1852 by F. K. Phoenix, 

 who conducted it until 1878, when it was 

 bought by the Bloomington Nursery Co., 

 and in 1890 the Phoenix Nursery Co. was 

 organized and acquired the property. It 

 has been for many years one of the most 

 important nurseries west of Rochester. 

 The nursery has 600 acres of land, em- 

 ploying from 100 to 125 hands during 

 the busy season. 



The business office of the company will 

 be moved down town to the Unity block, 

 adjoining Mr. DeMange 's law offices. 

 The company will at once proceed to the 

 building of new and enlarged green- 

 houses of the most modern type at the 

 packing grounds at Normal and the pres- 

 ent city greenhouses will be removed 

 and the land platted into city lots. 



LEADING NURSERYMEN GONE. 



A. 17, Sampson, Red Bluff, Cal. 

 A. W. Sampson, the well-known nur- 

 seryman and horticulturist, who has been 

 horticultural commissioner for several 

 years, died April 18 at the home of his 

 son in Corning. He was a sufferer 

 with cancer of the tongue, and spent 

 several months in an Oakland sanitarium. 



S. R. Hess, Ephrata, Pa. 



Samuel R. Hess, retired nurseryman, 

 of Ephrata, Lancaster county. Pa., died 

 April 22, of heart trouble. The de- 

 ceased was 75 years of age and was a 

 member of the old Mennonite church for 

 many years. He is survived by a wife 

 and six children. 



Georsfe H. Ellwanger. 



George Herman Ellwanger died April 

 23 at his home at Rochester, N. Y. 

 Paralysis of the heart was the imme- 

 diate cavise of death. Mr. Ellwanger was 

 liorn in Rochester, July 10, 1848. He 



was a man of extensive and varied lit- 

 erary accomplishments and was secre- 

 tary of the Ellwanger & Barry corpora- 

 tion, of which his father, George Ell- 

 wanger, is president. 



In the opinion of George Ellwanger, the 

 father, "breadth of culture, variety of 

 knoAvledge and experience, and contact 

 with the world, especially with persons 

 of culture, and correct moral principles, 

 have always been the surest foundation 

 for usefulness and success in life." 



These teachings Mr. Ellwanger incul- 

 cated in the minds of his children, in 

 whose interest his fortune was freely 

 used. George Herman was sent to Eu- 

 rope to complete his education. He 

 was a student in Vervey, Switzerland, 

 and Angers, France, remaining abroad 

 about four years. 



After returning to Rochester, Mr. Ell- 

 wanger became editor-in-chief of the 

 Evening Express. In 1873 he married 

 Harriet Stillson, and his wife survives 

 him with three children, Mrs. Boyd Wat- 

 son, of Parkersburg, W. Va., and Mrs. 

 Alexander Otis and Miss Julia Ell- 

 wanger, of Rochester. 



Mr. Ellwanger was an authority on 

 horticulture, on which he wrote in nearly 

 all of a dozen volumes of which lie was 

 author. One of his latest works was the 

 revision of "The Rose," written by his 

 brother, which Mr. Ellwanger brought 

 down to date in 1893. His first publica- 

 tion of more than ordinary value was 

 ' ' The Garden Story, or Pleasures and 

 Trials of an Amateur Gardener, ' ' which 

 was placed on sale in 1889. 



Mr. Ellwanger 's literary accomplish- 

 ments won from the University of 

 Rochester the master of arts degree. He 

 was a member of the Pundit Club, the 

 Genesee Valley Club and thp Country 

 Club of Rochester. Mr. Ellwanger was 

 interested in numerous local business en- 

 terprises aside from his participation in 

 the affairs of Ellwanger & Barry, and 

 was one of three commissioners of Mount 

 Hope cemetery.
