Annals of Horticulture. 



John Dominy, died February 12, aged 72 years. The loss 

 of this celebrated gardener will be severely felt in horticultu- 

 ral circles in England. In 1846 Mr. Dominy became con- 

 nected with the nurseries of the Messrs. Veitch and he 

 remained with the firm until 1881, when his health became 

 poor. In 1856 his first hybrid orchid, Calanthe Domini, ap- 

 peared, and this was followed by many others. Volum XXI. of 

 The Garden was dedicated to Mr. Dominy, and it will be long 

 before he is forgotten by orchid-growers. He was a member 

 of the floral and also of the orchid committees of the Royal 

 Horticultural Society, where his experience was valued 

 highly. 



James Murray Garden died at Aberdeen, Scotland, early 

 in the year, aged 46 years. In his death the horticultural in- 

 terests of northern Scotland suffer a severe blow, for it is main- 

 ly through the zeal and activity of Mr. Garden that the Royal 

 Horticultural Society of Aberdeen attained its present flourish- 

 ing condition, and the influence of this society is far-reaching.

Johannes Gronland, died at Dahme, Germany, February 

 13, aged 67 years. He first became known through the hybrids 

 he obtained by crossing Triticum vulgare with species of aegi- 

 lops. He assisted in preparing the German edition of Vil- 

 morin's "Les Fleurs de Pleine Terre," and also wrote for 

 horticultural journals. At the time of his death he occupied 

 the position of botanist in the experiment station, and lectu- 

 rer in the agricultural school at Dahme.
