PHILIP DAVIS LEAVENWORTH 
BORN 
AUGUST 12, 1871 
DIED 
SEPTEMBER 25, 1938 
It is with deep regret we 
announce the passing of our 
friend and colleague, Philip 
Davis Leavenworth. His con¬ 
stant association with Grand 
Rapids Growers since it was 
founded in 1919 made him a 
familiar and popular figure 
among greenhouse men, gar¬ 
deners, and growers in the 
Grand Rapids area. They, as 
much as we, miss him as a 
sincere friend and counselor. 
Mr. Leavenworth's tireless ef¬ 
forts were in a large measure 
responsible for the growth and 
success of the Grand Rapids 
Growers, Inc. He was General 
Manager since its organization 
In 1919.
