Item 1.   Security and Issuer
          This Amendment No. 8 to Schedule 13D of General Host   
Corporation ( the Issuer) is being filed on behalf the undersigned
to amend the Schedule 13D as amended ( the " Schedule 13D") which
was originally filed on June 26, 1992 . Unless otherwise indicated,
all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          All Reporting Persons used an aggregate of approximately
$1,549,446 to purchase its Securities. GAMCO and GFI used approxi-
mately $1,306,633 and $242,813 respectively, of funds that were
provided through the accounts of certain of their investment
advisory clients (and, in the case of some of such accounts at
GAMCO, may be through borrowings from client margin accounts) in
order to purchase the Securities for such clients.   

Item 5.   Interest In Securities Of The Issuer
          (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of Securities to
which this Schedule 13D relates is 3,027,631 shares and represents
14.22% of 21,289,359 shares. This latter number of shares is
arrived at by adding the number of shares reported as being
outstanding in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-K dated
March 15, 1994 (20,015,758 shares) to the number of shares which
would be receivable by the Reporting Persons if they were to
convert all of the Issuer's Convertible Debentures held by them
(1,273,601 shares) into the common stock of the Issuer.  However,
at current market prices it would be uneconomic for any person to
convert any of such Convertible Debentures and that substantially
all such Convertible Debentures and not just those held by the
Reporting Persons would be converted if it became economic to do
so.  Accordingly the Reporting Persons believe that the percentage
of beneficial ownership attributable to them under the rules of the
SEC are artificially high and that a more realistic percentage of
their aggregate economic interest, which assumes none or all of
such Convertible Debentures would be converted, would be 8.77%.

          The Reporting Persons beneficially own the Securities as
follows: 
               Shares of      % of      Shares of      % of      
               Common         Class of  Common Stock,  Class
Name           Stock          Common    Converted      Converted

GFI:
