“IN MEMORIAM.” 
THE Tuomas Моовк.—Регт& me one brief 
tribute in your pages to Mr. Moore's memory. It 
must needs be brief, for were all your readers who 
feel as I do to claim the same privilege, not one, but 
many numbers of your well-filled columns, would be 
needed for our tribute of deep affection and profound 
respect. When I first became acquainted with Mr. 
Moore I was a young and inexperienced contributor 
to the Gardeners’ Chronicle, and I shall never forget 
ow deeply I was metu to him for his kindly 
indulgence and wise and encouraging counsel. He 
will be 
friend, whose gentleness. 
made him truly great.
