Ljmian B. Craw. 



Universal sorrow will follow the an- 

 iiouncemeut of the death, September 1, 

 of layman B. Craw at his home at 

 lrvinf>;ton, N. Y. His demise was not 

 unexpected by those in ])osition to keep 

 in touch with him, for he had been ill 

 for more than two years. He realized 

 )irobably more fully than anyone else 

 that his time was short antl put his 

 affairs in order, but never spoke of the 

 future except in the most hopeful way. 

 Xo man cncr "wra})ped the mantle of 

 his couch about him and lay down to 

 jileasant dreams" with greater thought- 

 fulness for those about him.

 forty years ayo and his entire business 

 career was with the Lord & Burnham

 secretary of the company and its gen- 

 eriil sales manager. He contiiiued in 

 charge of the Xew York oflice for 

 nearly ten years, during which time he 

 gained a wide acquaintance and made 

 many warm friendships in the trade.

IMPATIENS SULTANI. 



Last season 1 grew soiiu> sultan's im- 

 patiens, but the plants did not branch 

 as freely as they should. U'o they re- 

 (piire to be kept pinched back? Some 

 time ago 1 noticed an ad fiom Schmidt 

 & Botley, in which they call attention 

 to some new colors in impatiens. I can- 

 not find their addicss. Can vou supply 

 it? H. E. D. (!. 



I juesume you refer to ]m[)atiens 

 Sultani, cuinmonly called sultan's or 

 Zanzibar bals.am. Of I. Sultani sepa- 

 rate shailes t)f rosy scarlet and pink 

 are offered in a nunibei- of seed cata- 

 logues. L llolstii can be i>rocured either 

 in its original cohjr. a rich vermilion 

 scarlet, or in mixed shades of color. 

 .\11 these impatiens make excellent i)ot 

 plants. They also succeed well in the 

 ttutside borders in summer, es|>ecially 

 where they can get a slight shade. At 

 some seaside resorts they art; popular 

 bedding plants, being notably well done 

 at Bar ilarl)(u-. Ale. They are improved 

 by judicious ]iincliing. The tops are 

 easily rooted and soon make nice 

 plants. Some growers olVcr as many as 

 four separate sha<les of I. Sultani. 



The address of Schmidt ,.^- Botlev is 

 Springfield, O. C. Vv. 



Bowmanville, Ont. s. .1. .lackmaii 

 is building several new greenhouses to 

 take care of his increasing business.
