 ness better than ever at this season.

 roses on the Pacific coast page of this

 serymen.

DEATH OF ALBERT VYCKOFF. 



Albert Wyckoff, vice-president of the 

 Albaugh Nursery Co., of Tadmor, O., 

 with offices in Dayton, died suddenly 

 September 24 on a train at Buffalo. He 

 was returning from a visit to his former 

 home at Wilkesbarre, Pa. The remains 

 were returned to Wilkesbarre for burial. 

 He left a widow and one daughter. The 

 latter, Miss Sarah, is a prominent physi- 

 cian and lecturer on medical subjects at 

 Wilkesbarre. 



Mr. Wyckoff had bought a fine farm in 

 the mountains near Wilkesbarre and was 

 having it laid out into a fruit farm. 

 Early in life he served through the 



civil war and was twice a prisoner at 

 lAnd^rsonville, and twice made his es- 

 cape. When he left the prison he weighed 

 ninety pounds, and at the time of his 

 death was an unusually large man, weigh- 

 ing more than 250. He was a genial, 

 whole-souled man, and one whom every- 

 body knew and loved for his cheerful, 

 generous nature. Thirty years ago he 

 was postmaster at Jacksonville, 111., and 

 shortly after entered the nursery busi- 

 ness, and located at Dayton twenty 

 years ago. He was 60 years of age. He 

 was prominent in G. A. E. circles. 



POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 



The Kansas City meeting of the 

 American Pomological Society was one 

 of the most notable of its history. It 

 was held in the heart of the rapidly- 



developing middle .west, and was at> 

 itended by a representative gathering of 

 noted pomologists from all parts of the 

 country. It follows that an interesting 

 and valuable report is the result. This 

 report was distributed to all members in 

 good standing by Secretary John Craig, 

 of Ithaca, N. Y., early in September. It 

 is available to all who become members 

 of the organization. It is made up of 

 three principal divisions. First, a record 

 of the papers presented and discussions 

 which followed during the three days' 

 sessions. Second, a valuable chapter 

 giving the horticultural history of six 

 of the states of the southwest — abso- 

 lutely new historical data. Third, the 

 reports of the standing committees of 

 the society, including one on inspection 

 of apples; one on score-card judging; 

 and the exceedingly comprehensive re-
