OBITUARY. 



Philip Purcell. 



Philip Purcell, a florist of Bay Ridge, 

 N. Y., died at his home, 357 Seventy- 

 sixth street, on Saturday, June 26, at 

 the age of 59 years. He left a widow, 

 two sons and one daughter. 



Adam C. Ullrich. 



Adam C. Ullrich, one of the pioneer 

 florists of Ironton, O., died at an early 

 hour Sunday morning, June 27, of a 

 complication of diseases, after an ill- 

 ness of about six weeks. He was born 

 January 13, 1826, in Mutterstadt, Ger- 



many, and came to this country in 1847, 

 locating in Indiana, later removing to 

 Ohio, and all his life he had been a gar- 

 dener and florist. 



Mrs. Ullrich died about four years ago. 

 The children that survive are Peter Ull- 

 rich, of Sedgwick; George, of Chicago; 

 Will, of St. Louis; Albert, of Hamilton; 

 Mrs. Thomas Peet, of Cambridge City, 

 Ind.; Fred, of Youngstown; Lewis, 

 Henry and Edward, of Ironton. 



PROPAGATION OF HARDY PHLOX 



How do you propagate hardy phlox f 

 [ notice spots on a great many leaves 

 similar to strawberry rust. Is it detri- 

 mental? C. L. H. 



There are several methods of propagat- 

 ing hardy phlox, but the most satisfac- 

 tory method is to take cuttings in early 

 spring, as soon as the plants start to 

 grow. Place these in an ordinary prop- 

 agating bench, and treat as you would 

 mums or carnations, and they will root 

 within three weeks. The best plan, when 

 the cuttings are rooted, is to pot off 

 singly and later transplant to nursery 

 rows, but if a cool, moist day is selected 

 few cuttings will fail if taken directly 

 from the cutting bench to the open 

 ground. These cuttings will produce 

 large heads of bloom in September. 



The spotting of the foliage is not at 

 all uncommon, being especially bad on 

 Miss Lingard. It is nothing serious, and 

 I have never deemed it of sufficient im- 

 portance to spray the foliage.
