Abstract
THE death of Dr. Ernest Henry Wilson on Oct. 15, as the result of a motoring accident, will be lamented in botanical and horticultural circles, not only in Britain and America, but also throughout the world, for Wilson's activities were truly international. The news to hand from the Arnold Arboretum states that Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were returning from a visit to their daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Slate, at Geneva, New York State, when their car skidded on the greasy surface while travelling on the Boston Road, Worcester, Mass., crashing through a fence and down a 40-feet embankment. Mrs. Wilson was killed outright, and Dr. Wilson died soon after admission to hospital.
