We note by a brief paragraph in a Baltimore paper that Dr. Sprunt died recently at his home in Duplin county, North Carolina. He was among the first of the correspondents of the Editor of this magazine, and sent to him for examination flowers of a rose that had sported from Safrano; and with the Editor's encouragement it was propagated, proved permanent, and finally became the well-known "Isabella Sprunt," which to this day holds its own as one of the most popular tea roses. Mr. Sprunt was very fond of gardening, and his home in Kenansville, to judge from his enthusiastic correspondence, must have been a very pleasant place. He was a Scotchman by birth, but settled as a Presbyterian clergyman, at Kenansville. On the breaking out of the rebellion he became chaplain of the 20th North Carolina Infantry. Since the end of the war he was Register of Deeds for Duplin county.
