SCOTT MEMORIAL FUND. 



At the Niagara Falls convention the 

 nudersigned were appointed a committee 

 to receive subscriptions for a memorial 

 to the late William Scott. At that time 

 the committee received a large number 

 of subscriptions, and many individuals, 

 llorists' clubs, business houses and the 

 trade press interested themselves in the 

 ino\eniont, turning over to the committee 

 the sums raised by them, together with 

 the names of the contributors, which ap- 

 pear in the appended list. 



Consultation with the family of the 

 Lite .Mr. Scott, and with others inter- 

 ested, indicated that possibly the best 

 form that the memorial could take would 

 be a monument to mark the grave in For- 

 est Lawn cemetery, Bulfalo, X. Y. It 

 seemed desirable to complett? the matter 

 with as little delay as ]>ossible, but con- 

 siderable time was consumed in that the 

 block of granite nuist needs be quarried 

 s|)ecially in A'orniont, for the stone se- 

 lecti'd. The memorial is now in place, 

 howe\'er, and the unexpended balance of 

 the fund has been turned over to Mrs. 

 Scott for the maintenance of the plot.
