Salter S. Hocf . 



Walter Seoon Hogg, one of the pioneer 

 florists of Proividence, E. I., died sud- 

 denly at his home, 34 Congdon street, 

 Sunday night, April 18. Although he 

 had been in poor health for several 

 months, he was not confined to his home, 

 and on Sunday attended church service 

 and Bible class session. Later in the 

 day a hemorrhage of the brain caused 

 his death. 



Mr. Hogg was born in Scotland in 

 1844, but came to Providence with his 

 parents in early childhood. He was edu- 

 cated in the public schools, and always 

 lived in the section of the city where he 

 died. After leaving school he entered 

 the employ of Royal C. Taft, who was 

 afterwards governor of Rhode Island, 

 and was for several years a gardener on 

 his estate. 



In 1864, in company with his brother, 

 the late Robert Hogg, who had been a 

 gardener for several years in Bristol, R. 

 I., Mr. Hogg entered the florists' busi- 

 ness at the corner of Benefit and Meet- 

 ing streets, succeeding Walter Paddock, 

 whose business they purchased. At that 

 time there were but three establishments 

 of the kind in Providence, and the work 

 was largely in the laying out and caring 

 for private grounds. Both brothers were 

 capable and successful, and many of the 

 most beautiful grounds surrounding 

 wealthy residences of that city were 

 originally designed and laid out under 

 the personal direction of one or the 

 other. The brothers remained in copart- 

 nership for about ten years, when Robert 

 withdrew and opened the greenhouses on 

 Broadway, where William Appleton, who 

 succeeded him, is still located. Robert 

 died several years ago. Walter Hogg 

 continued the business at the old stand 

 with considerable success until he sold 

 out in 1900 to Theodore R. Peterson. 



Mr. Hogg was a member of the Cen- 

 tral Congregational church for forty 

 years and treasurer of the Bethel Mis- 

 sion for twenty years. He was identified 

 with almost every charitable enterprise 

 of the general character that was set on 

 foot during his years of active interest 

 in affairs. He was a constant contributor 

 to private benevolences, and many in- 

 stances of his kindly help to youtfg men 

 will be recalled. He owned a fine sum- 

 mer place at Digby, Nova Scotia, where 

 he spent a portion of each year. The 

 deceased was a Mason of high degree 

 and a Knight Templar. He is survived 

 by a widow and one daughter. 



Thomas Kennedy. 



Thomas Kennedy, who was an em- 

 ployee in the gardeners' department at 

 Swan Point cemetery. Providence, R. I., 

 for nearly half a century, died at his 

 home in that city April 21. He was 62 

 years of age, and was widely known. 

 His funeral was held April 24, at which 

 there was a profusion of flowers. From 

 Superintendent McCarthy, of Swan Point 

 cemetery, came an immense wreath of 

 magnolia blossoms and early shrub 

 flowers which the deceased had assisted 



Bowling Team of the Stuppy Floral Co.^ St. Joseph, Mo. 



in raising within the cemetery grounds. 

 There was also a large cross and 

 mounded base made of carnations, from 

 the men who worked about the grounds. 

 Six men whose friendship has existed for 

 many years served as pallbearers. Mr. 

 Kennedy leaves a widow, five daughters 

 and two sons. 



Samuel W^. Marshall. 



Samuel W. Marshall, one of the best 

 known California nurserymen, died at 

 Fresno, Cal., April 15. Mr. Marshall 

 had been actively interested in tree grow- 

 ing for twenty-five years and had built 

 up a large business at the time of his 

 death. He leaves a wife and a son, Wm. 

 S. Marshall, the latter having long been 

 associated with him in the conducting of 

 his business. 



L.B.Baxter. 



Ll, P-. ^"rter, nurseryman, of Nichols, 

 Mo., (iisd April 21, of pneumonia, after 

 a brief illness. He was about 48 years 

 of age and leaves a wife and sister.

 wife survives him. 



Long Branch, N. J. — W. G. Eisele has 

 just completed an iron-frame greenhouse 

 on the Behr property in Cedar avenue, at 

 a cost of $8,000. 



Baldwin, N. Y. — Hitchings & Co. are 

 building for George T. Schuneman, 

 widely known as a violet grower, three 

 houses, each 30x150, of semi-iron con- 

 struction. The houses are so arranged 

 as to make it convenient to drive through 

 them with a horse and wagon. A gang 

 of twenty men are pushing the work 

 along and the houses will be ready for 

 use by June 1. 



STUPPY'S BOWLERS. 



The bowlers of the S. A. F. will now 

 have to sit up and take notice of the 

 team of the Stuppy Floral Co., which 

 has just won the pennant in the St. Jo- 

 seph City Bowling League. They won 

 the pennant by good, consistent bowling, 

 high game for the season being 275 and 

 high three game 2,754. They say that 

 any florists' team will be welcomed to 

 St. Joseph and, if the Stuppys do not 

 win, the visiting team will know they 

 are in some game. For company it is 

 suggested that the bowlers bring their 

 friends who are in the trade and a com- 

 mittee will show them some flowers that 

 are also pennant winners, for good bowl- 

 ers are almost always good at their busi- 

 ness. 



The names of the bowlers on the 

 Stuppy team, shown in the accompanying 

 illustration, are as follows: Top row, 

 reading from left to right, Joseph 

 Schiesl, Frank Stuppy, W. W. Jones, P. 

 D. Keller; seated, John J. Stuppy, C. 

 Raney (mascot), John West, Jr. 



Kenton, O. — William Sabransky, pro- 

 prietor of the Kenton Floral Nursery, 

 will have an uptown stand in J. E. Gas- 

 son 's drug store. Part of the room on 

 the first floor is being remodeled for this 

 purpose. 



Attleboro, Mass. — Martin Ockert 

 says Easter trade was good here. Al- 

 most twice as many lilies were sold as a 

 year ago. Daffodils in pans sold extra 

 well, bringing from 35 cents to 50 cents 

 a pan. There was but little call for 

 tulips. Hyacinths sold well. In the cut 

 flowers, carnations were mostly in de- 

 mand, bringing 75 cents and $1 per 

 dozen. Daffodils and Paper Whites sold 

 for 60 cents per dozen. The demand for 

 violets was much greater than the sup- 

 ply- ' ,
