The retirement of John Burton from 

 the active supervision of his rose-

 worthy of passing notice. His oldest 

 son, George, who has a large rose-grow-

 he has made a notable success, now 

 has charge of the growing and market- 

 ing of the products from his father's 

 place. This means a well-earned rest 

 lor the father while yet in his prime. 



and a deserved compliment to the son 

 as a worthy successor.
