Abstract
AMONG the leading botanists of America the name of Prof. Farlow, whose death was announced in NATURE for June 26, stood out, by seniority, by personal influence, and by scientific attainment. Prof. Farlow died on June 3 after an illness of three weeks. He was born in Boston, December 17, 1844, and graduated from Harvard College in the class of 1866, obtaining the degree of A.M. in 1869, and of M.D. in 1870. Doubtless he was one of those who followed the wise advice of Asa Gray: “Graduate in.medicine; you never know how it will come in useful afterwards.”
