influential horticulturists. It has been carried on through eight volumes, and the 
firm intend to continue the work until it is completed. We hope that future 
volumes of the Orcurp Axgum will be found none the less worthy because of the

The late Mr. B. S. Williams was interred at Highgate Cemetery on the 30th 
of June, amidst his bereaved family and a host of sorrowing friends, surrounded 
both by his present and many of his old employés, who deeply mourn his loss, 
for he was respected and revered by all who knew him. 
The business at the Victoria and Paradise Nurseries will in future be conducted 
by us, his son and surviving partner, under the title of B. S. Williams & Son; 
and we hope to secure in the future the patronage which was so _ generously 
accorded to us in the past by our numerous friends and customers. No pains will 
be spared on our part to merit this, and it shall ever be our constant endeavour 
to maintain the high reputation to which the firm has attained.—H. WILLIAMs.
