The Pennsylvania Horticultural Association has met with a double loss in the death of this gentleman on the 22d of March, the day before that of his co-laborer, Thos. M. Harvey. He had been for many years Vice President of the body. He was regarded as an authority on the nomenclature of fruits, especially on apples. His orchard at Jenkintown in Montgomery County, near Philadelphia, at one time had representatives of most of the leading kinds; his plan being, in order to test them, to graft where-ever a branch would prove a success. In past times, when Pennsylvania nurseries were scarce, he had a small fruit-tree nursery in connection with his orchard and farm, which did good service in spreading good fruits among his neighbors and friends. Like his colleague in the association, Thos. M. Harvey, he was a modest member of the Society of Friends, and only those who knew him well had any idea of the great breadth of his intelligence, or the immense amount of good which in a quiet way he accomplished.
