THE DEATH of Charles Naudin occurred suddenly on March 19th. 
Naudin was director of the experimental garden at the Villa Thuret, Antibes, 
an adjunct of the Jardin des Plantes, Paris. He was born at Autun in 1815, 
and was therefore in his eighty-fourth year. His experimental researches be 
Cucurbitacez, enabling him to untangle and classify the confusing varieties 
of gourds, cucumbers, and melons; his 7razté général d’ horticulture, one of 
the most useful of horticultural works ; and his numerous experiments and 
writings on acclimatization and hybridization make secure his fame as one of 
the greatest garden botanists of the century.
