ADDRESS

PHILADELPHIA NOTES. 



Frank Jackson, late manager for 

 Battles' Thornhedge greenhouses, has 

 purchased a property at Sellersville. 

 Pa., and will erect thereon a modern 

 greenhouse establishment. 



Everybody Is congratulating the 

 disseminators of the new Irish Rose 

 "Melody" on the silver medal it won 

 at the great Boston show last week. 

 This is undoubtedly the loveliest of 

 all the yellow roses to date and orders 

 have been pouring in lately in recog- 

 nition of its extraordinary merit. 



John H. Dodds, superintendent at 

 the country home of John Wanamaker, 

 has disposed of his fine improved yel- 

 low sport of Pandanus Sanderi to the 

 Robert Craig Co. who will disseminate 

 it. The variety is named "Lindenhurst" 

 — in compliment to its native home — 

 the Lindenhurst estate of Mr. V^'ana- 

 maker. 



Herbert Baker, lately foreman for 

 0. & G. L. Pennock, rose growers, 

 Lansdowne, succeeds to the business 

 of Aldrich Pennock, deceased — which 

 has been conducted until now under 

 the title of the A. J. Pennock Co.. at 

 Lansdowne. Mr. Baker will conduct 

 the business under his own name, and 

 will grow roses principally. 



The continued cold weather is begin- 

 ning to make the plant men worry. 

 Efforts were all in the direction of 

 holding crops back on account of the 

 late Easter this year. Now, the grow- 

 ers find that they will have to put the 

 heat to them in the most emphatic 

 manner, if they are to be in good shape 

 for Easter week. Conditions are all 

 right for hyacinths, daffodils, tulips 



and other bulbous stock — which pre- 

 fer cool conditions — but most all oth- 

 er stocks are at the critical stage — 

 and giving lots of anxiety. 



Messrs. Logan and Batchelor of 

 Newbold's are receiving congratula- 

 tions on having won out at the Boston 

 show with the finest specimen azaleas 

 in the exhibition. This is no mean 

 honor considering the advanced posi- 

 tion the science of horticulture has 

 reached around Boston— that localit> 

 being admitted as leading the proces- 

 sion in high-grade gardening. In com- 

 mercial flower growing also, Pennsyl- 

 vania can congratulate herself on hav- 

 ing still a few good growers. Messrs. 

 Farenwald and Towill held their ends 

 up nobly in roses. 



And we must not forget our goou 

 friend John R. Andre of Doylestown 

 in the latter connection. He is fol- 

 lowing in his revered father's footsteps, 

 and doing the rose better and better 

 every year. How proud the elder An- 

 dre would have been if he had been 

 alive to-day to see his son's success.
