THE NATIONAL NUBSERYMAN 
* 
EDWAIN C. PIERSON. 
Kclwin C. Pierson died at Clinton, Michigan, where he 
was staying as the guest ol‘ his sister. Mr. Pierson was 
the pioneer nurseryman of Seneca county and for over 
forty years was engaged in the business, at which time 
he owned two large farms just north of Waterloo, the 
business being known as The Maple Grove Nursery Com¬ 
pany. 
About ten years ago he disposed of his farms and re¬ 
moved to Omaja, Cuba, where he was connected with a 
similar business, raising grape fruit, oranges and other 
fruits. On account of failing health he came North 
about two months ago, in hopes of returning in a better 
physical condition. 
lie was 77 years old and leaves one daughter. Miss Car¬ 
rie Peirson, and one son, Frank Peirson, of Omaja, and 
one brother, Charles W. Peirson, of Waterloo; three sis¬ 
ters, Mrs. Elizabeth Cranston, of Omaja, Cuba; Mrs. Har¬ 
riet Peck, of Geneva, and Mrs. Edgar Larzalere, of Clin¬ 
ton, Michigan.

A CORRECTION. 
In our last issue we (or rather the printer) got the le¬ 
gends under the illustrations mixed. Every nursery¬ 
man knows how serious a thing it is to wrongly label a 
tree hut w hen the nurseryman himself is wrongly named 
it becomes almost a crime, especially with such well 
known and popular gentlemen as John C. Chase and H. 
F. Hillenmeycr so we ask their indulgence. 
The gentlemen in tlie automobile on page 247 is H. F. 
Hillenmeycr, John C. Chase being in a similar picture on 
page 2o2.
