Art. VI. Obituary. 



Died, at EUeray, near Ambleside, on the 20th of March last, Mr. 

 Alexander, upwards of ten years gardener to Professor Wilson, at that 

 place. Mr. Alexander was only in the 44th year of his age, and has left 

 behind him a widow and several children, the care of whom will now de- 

 volve upon his eldest son ; a very intelligent and estimable youth, who, 

 we feel confident, will fulfil the arduous duties required of him under such 

 circumstances, as well as the world will permit him. 



Died, on the 4th of April, 1833, at the Haverstock Nursery (also called 

 Eshcol Place), in the Hampstead Road, Mr. JDaniel Aloney, proprietor of 

 that nursery, aged 70 years. He had experienced a gradual declension from 

 his general good health for only three months preceding his death, which 

 was induced by natural decay. Mr. Money was a sensible, honest-hearted 

 man, and the residence of these qualities within him was bespoken by a 

 straightforward homeliness and heartiness of manner. He had devoted 

 his whole life to gardening, and established the Haverstock Nursery, in 

 which he cultivated a collection of the more generally desii-ed shrubs and 

 herbaceous plants ; but distinguished himself by collecting, and propagating 

 for sale, vines of all the superior kinds of grape. He possessed an intimate 

 knowledge of the qualities and merits of most of the varieties worthy of 

 notice, and gave his customers the benefit of this knowledge, by recommend- 

 ing to them none but the best kinds. Many can attest the truth of this 

 assertion. Mr. Money named the Haverstock Nursery, Eshcol Place, in 

 allusion to the brook " Eshcol," whence the spies of the Israelites brought 

 the famous grapes spoken of in the book of Numbers, chap. xiii. verses 23. 

 and 24. ; and it is in allusion to this idea that the name Muscat Eshcollata 

 is applied to his famous new grape, which was advertised in the Gardener's 

 Magazine for December, 1831 (page 2. of the advertising sheet), and 

 which will be found noticed in Vol. VII. p. 742, 743., as shown at meet- 

 ings of the London Horticultural Society. 



The business of the Haverstock Nursery is continued by Mrs Money, 

 the widow, and her grandson, Mr. Daniel Money.
