sixty-six years old. He was one of the oldest professors in 
point of service at the college. 
Prof. Buckhout was married to Miss Mary Harkness, of 
Philadelphia, who survives with four children. 
Readers of The National Nurseryman will regret to 
learn that J. W. McNary, of Dayton, Ohio, has been ill for 
the last three months. We trust that he will soon be about 
again, and in good health. 
should be made in the name of the Hawthorne Memorial 
Association, and sent as above. 
All contributors become Associate Members of the Associa¬ 
tion, and will thus have their names always linked with a 
tribute to genius, which, tho’ long delayed, will be measurably 
adequate.

PORTLAND FLOWER SHOW 
SPECIAL MEMORIAL TO NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE 
TO BE ERECTED IN SALEM, MASS. 
His Genius Recognized in Fitting Manner 
The Hawthorne Memorial Association has become in¬ 
corporated in Salem, Mass., for the purpose, in the words of 
its charter, “of the erection or establishment and maintenance 
of a memorial to Nathaniel Hawthorne in the city of Salem, 
Massachusetts. ’ ’ 
Those interested may get full information and literature 
by addressing Harlan P. Kelsey, Secretary, The Hawthorne 
Memorial Association, Salem, Mass., and contributions 
of flower shows to be held in Portland, occurring probably 
about every three months. The show just held was given in 
the interest of charity and was largely attended. Although a 
few amateurs had exhibits, the show as a whole, was assembled 
by professionals, seedsmen, florists and nurserymen. A new 
red carnation, the “J. N. Teal,’’ was named in honor of one of 
Portland’s prominent citizens, and an exhibit that attracted 
much attention was a “mum” grown by Louis W. Hill which 
had thirty or more varieties and colors on one plant. 
The illustration shows originality even for a flower show 
and visiting nurser^mien who go to the convention next June 
may expect to see things.
