OBITUARY 
Ludwig Moller, editor and proprietor 
of IMoller’s Deutsche Giirtner-Zeitung, 
and the most forceful figure in the hor- 
ticultural journalism of Germany, died 
at Erfurt, April 12, 1910, after a pro- 
tracted illness. The Gartner-Zeitung 
grew rapidly from a modest bi-monthly 
to a weekly richly illustrated journal 
with a staff of contributors consisting 
of the leading men in their respective 
branches of horticulture. The paper has 
done much in making known improved 
and profitable methods of cultivation and 
in drawing attention to new and valu- 
able plants. It is now the leading horti- 
cultural publication in Germany. 
Capt. George Hess, superintendent of 
National Cemeteries for 35 years, died 
at Richmond, Va., early in June. He 
was buried in the family lot in Harris- 
burg Cemeter}^ Harrisburg, Pa., repre-
