NOVEMBER, 1906. | THE ORCHID REVIEW, 
THE LATE G. W. LAW-SCHOFIELD. 
(With Portrait.) 
WE announced last month the death of this distinguished Orchidist 
(p. 314), and now we have pleasure in giving his portrait, the block having 
been lent by the proprietor of the Rossendale Free Press, through the kind 
intervention of Elijah Ashworth, Esq., Chairman of the Manchester Orchid 
Society. We can add little to our remarks of last month, but Mr. 
Ashworth writes that the deceased was the oldest Orchid grower in the 
district, the period extending over about forty years. Of late he has paid 
Special attention to Cypripedes, his collection of these being one of the 
est. He was born on the 13th of September, 1839, and thus had nearly 
completed his 67th year. He was a great lover of flowers, and an admirer 
of all forms of legitimate sport, his special penchant in this direction being 
Shooting and fishing. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of cricket. 
He was very highly esteemed, not only in the district in which he lived, but 
by all who came in contact with him. The late gentleman leaves two 
daughters, Mrs. Craven Hoyle, of Leabank Hall, and Miss A. L. Law- 
Schofield, of Newhallhey, his only son, Henry Hoyle Law-Schofield, having 
died in 1875, while quite an infant.
