line at Rutherford and Elizabeth; those 

 of West Norwood give promise of being 

 in line ultimately with their older com- 

 petitors. Here Herman Steinhoflf, of 

 West Hoboken, has purchased a fine tract 

 of 125 acres on the banks of the Hacken- 

 sack, where he has built a greenhouse 

 35x200, the first of the new range where 

 ultimately all his interests will be cen- 

 tered, as the rapid growth in value of 

 land at Hoboken makes concentration far- 

 ther out a necessity. This is only an 

 hour from the city. On the way the fine 

 trial grounds and nursery of the Stumpp 

 & Walter Co. are passed, and in the dis- 

 tance may be seen the Palisades Nur- 

 series, of Sparkill, N. Y., where Robert 

 Clucas presides. Close at hand are the 

 two 54x400 -houses of the Ernst Asmue 

 estate, at Closter, N. J., where E. R. 

 Asmus presides, and Killarney, Bride and 

 Maid, 25,000 of them, send their tribute 

 daily to the New York wholesale market, 

 with White Killarney and My Maryland 

 to be added to the variety for the coming 

 season. Nearly 75,000 of his new rose, 

 the Steinhoff Red Rambler, are being 

 grown by Mr. Steinhoff at West Nor- 

 wood, where Herman, Jr., has charge, 

 and many lilacs, retinosporas, privet, 

 shrubs and 5,000 peach trees already 

 form the nucleus of the growth that is to 

 be. Mr. Steinhoff and his family make 

 this their summer home, and already the 

 proffer of the mayoralty has been made 

 as an encouragement to permanent loca- 

 tion. 



Hugo Jahn, of Brooklyn, had several 

 handsome floral pieces for the H. H. Rog- 

 ers funeral. The church pulpit and altar 

 were banked with hundreds of such me- 

 mentos. The family order and the $500 

 pall of orchids were executed by Wadley 

 & Smythe, which firm had charge of the 

 decorations at the Memorial church at 

 Fair Haven, Mass. 



Another light is out in the horticul- 

 tural sky of the east, and Charles L. 

 Allen, the veteran of over 80 years, has 

 joined the silent majority. Since the 

 beginning of the year we have lost of 

 the brotherhood grand men like Hallock, 

 Noe, Hagemann, Scott and Dreyer, and 

 now a giant in mental achievement and 

 world-wide fame has been called away. 

 Eighty-one is a good old age, but many a 

 time Mr. Allen has told me he thought 

 he would stay the century. Until a year 

 ago, when his constitution was weakened 

 by pneumonia, he gave every promise of 

 the fulfillment of this expectation. Only 

 two weeks ago his splendid paper on 

 "Plant Development" was read at the 

 club's May meeting and it gave evidence 

 of his splendidly preserved mental skill
