CCCCLVIII.— MISCELLANEOUS NOTES, 
The death of the celebrated horticulturist, Mr. J. W. PN Y at 
the ripe age of 90, is recorded in the Last "Sussex News for Fri 
a 5, 1895. He was educated at Shrewsbury Grammar School, the 
late Charles Darwin being a fellow pupil, and he was employed in the 
Royal Gardens under Mr. Aiton in 1819. He afterwards became head 
gardener at Syon House, the residence of the Duke of Northeiiibethnd. 
In 1835, after five years’ service at Syon House, he went into business 
as a nurseryman. Last year he paid a visit to Kew, and shortly after- 
wards wrote the following | letter. The Kew Guild is'an Association of 
Kew Gardeners, Past and Present, formed in 1893. It menn 
iis. a journal for circulation among its members, and the number 
for 1894 contains a portrait of Mr. Thomson, with a very interesting 
paper by him, entitled * Reminiscences of an Old Kevite."
