was forced out of his position. Poli- 
tics again was the cause of his leav- 
ing the Milwaukee park system, where 
he spent one year after leaving Chi- 
cago. He then came to Prospect 
Park, Brooklyn, where he displayed 
high administrative ability and made 
a splendid record of efficiency and 
further secured his reputation as the 
foremost park superintendent in 
America. On January 1, 1897, he was 
called to take charge of the Boston 
park system and here he has labored 
unceasingly ever since, sturdily ad- 
vocating and practicing the best prin- 
ciples of landscape art and render- 
ing invaluable service in providing 
healthful recreation facilities for all 
the people, young and old. Mr. Pet- 
tigrew was identified with many or- 
ganizations. He was the organizer 
and first president of the American 
Association of Park Superintendents; 
president of the Gardeners and Flor- 
ists’ Club of Boston for two terms; 
trustee of the Massachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society; member of the So- 
ciety of American Florists, the Amer- 
ican Forestry Association, the Ap- 
palachian Mountain Club and the 
Horticultural Club of Boston. He 
read papers before several of these 
bodies on various occasions, on the 
subject to which he had devoted his 
life work and was at all times a will- 
ing helper on committees and other 
society duties. He leaves a widow, 
one son and three married daughters. 
The editor of Horticulture well ex- 
presses the high esteem in which Mr. 
Pettigrew was held in these words: 
“As to Mr. Pettigrew’s personality 
and qualities as a friend and com- 
panion words fail to express the writ- 
er’s emotions as he recalls the years 
of close intimacy with that generous 
and noble character. A true and ever- 
loyal friend, a wise and far-seeing 
counsellor — 
‘Friend to truth! of soul sincere, 
In action faithful, and in honor clear, 
Who broke no promise, serv’d no pri- 
vate end, 
Who gain’d no title, and who lost no 
friend.’ ”

years director of the National Botanic 
Garden at Washington, D. C., died

lection, public or private, in America.
