. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. igi6. The American Florist. 233 and skill were of use, and he gave them unstintingly, officially or other- wise. His willingness to help a fel- low member whenever possible to solve horticultural problems was heart- ily appreciated, and he will be greatly missed by many of us who have sought his counsel. W. Atlee Burpee was a life mem- ber, his membership dating from 1886, the second year of the society's exist- ence. He took a great interest in the society's affairs, and gave evidence of his interest by his earnest support of everything tending to advance oui*, work. He was one of the most widely known members of our organization, and his delightful personality en- deared him to all who came in contact with him. In the death of William F. Kasting, our late highly esteemed treasurer, our society sustains a great loss. His sudden demise on June 15 came as a shock to us all. Few there are in the society who did not know him, and expressions of sorrow at the time he was called away were general. His interest in the affairs of our society was most intense in character, and his counsel was sought in all our plans and projects. He was a life member, and served as president in 1906. His efficient services as our treasurer for several years have played an important part in our ad- vancement, and his business sagacity was ever a protection to us against unwise investment. We shall miss him for his companionship and his business acumen, both of which we could ill afford to lose. PLANT REGISTRATION.
