TESTIMONIAL 
TO 
Mr. WH-LIAM: 
Birmingham. 
The following gentlemen have formed themselves into a 
Committee to get up a Testimonial and present the same to 
Mr. William Dean on his 70th Birlhday: Messrs. Henry 
Cannell, Swanley; William Cuthbertson. Rothesay; Andrew 
Irvine, Tighnabruaich ; John Laing, London; W. B Latham, 
Birmingham ; Paul Lutz, Wolverhampton ; George M'Lead, 
London; William Robinson, London; Robert Sydenham, 
Birmingham ; Rev. D. R. Williamson, Kirkmaiden; J. Wright, 
London ; and B. Wynne, London. 
Mr. Dean's long and disinterested services to Horticulture 
are so well known that it is quite unnecessary to refer to them 
at length. His Seventieth year finds him very much incapaci¬ 
tated for work, especially during the autumn and winter months, 
and such a testimonial will be, not only a well-deserved recog¬ 
nition of a life-time s work, but a welq^ime means of procuring 
a few additional comforts in his old age. 
Subscriptions will be gladly received and acknowledged by 
any of Committee named above. 
George M'Leod, 46, Cannon Street, London, 
Hon. Treasurer. 
William Cuthbertson (Dobbie & Co.), Rothesay, 
H on. Secretary. 
JOSEPH ARNOLD invites the Attention of the Trade that 
he is now Cutting the Famous Bedfordshire Peat, and Yellow 
Fibrous Loam of Superior Quality. Supplied in quantities and
