f last, of Mr. Frank Cypher, youngest son of James Cypher, and 
partner with Mr. John Cypher, of the Exotic Nurseries, Cheltenham. - Mr.

he had an attack of cerebral hemorrhage from which he never recovered. 
He was only 48 years old. 
JOHN GouLp VEITCH.—We much regret to announce the death, on 
October 3rd last, at the early age of 45, of Mr. John Gould Veitch, M.A., 
partner and for some years secretary of the firm of James Veitch & Sons, 
Royal Exotic Nursery, Chelsea. The deceased, who had been in failing 
health for some years, was the only surviving brother of James Herbert 
Veitch, who died in 1907, and the son of John Gould Veitch, and nephew of 
Sir Harry J. Veitch. He was formerly a famous footballer, and played for 
his University, and afterwards was a member of the Corinthian Club. He 
leaves a widow and one son, who have our sincere sympathy in their
