I'red lA>mon'ii lu-w rose. Thy Aiige- 

 his, was on exMbition at the Peiinotk 

 Market on the 27th iilt. The flowers 

 had been three days too long en route 

 from Richmond. liulinn;i. I]iil tliej 

 were still in pretty good shape. This 

 new seedling is a big one in the lUis- 

 sell class for size — and is a creamy 

 white with a tinge of canary yellow in 

 the center. Under artificial linlit it 

 shows up pure white. The stem is 

 graceful yet strong and upstanding, 

 and the foliage is light green like 

 Ophelia. This looks like a real ac- 

 quisition and was examined with much 

 interest by the rose lovers of this 

 vicinity, all of whom were very flatter- 

 ing in their criticisms. 



The Cornell game with Penn.syl- 

 vania brought a number of distin- 

 guished visitors to Philadelphia for 

 Tli.mksgiving and family reunion, 

 among them the younger Sam Pen- 

 nock, who is now as tall as Mis daddy 

 and a hefty looking chap. He stayed 

 over with his folks at Lansdowne a 

 few days before returning to his 

 studies at Cornell. 



"It was midnight on the ocean. 



Not a street car was in sight" — 

 So they elected Samuel S. Pennock 

 president of the Chrysantheniuni So- 

 ciety of America. Mr. Pennock is a 

 Philadelphia man. but we had to await 

 this news item until the Chicago pa- 

 pers arrived — a week later. We asked 

 him, Was he so modest? He said 

 No; he knew nothing about it until 

 he saw it in the paper. The Kaizer 

 will have to take his hat oft to Charlie 

 Totty! 



1850 is chiseled in the rebuilt cor- 

 ner stone building of the Dingee & 

 Conard place at West Grove, the 

 pioneer rose establishment of Amer- 

 ica. Charles Dingee, the founder of 

 the pioneer house, has passed away, 

 but he left worthy successors. Patrick 

 .Joseph Lynch was also a genius along 

 the same line.-;, and did wonderful 

 work in deepening and widening what 

 his brother-in-law had started. Cali- 

 fornia and Indiana soon fell under his 

 sway in addition to Pennsylvania. To- 

 day he seems to run the state of In-

Our old friend, Anton Wintzer of 

 the Conard & Jones Co. at West 

 (Jrove, is still in the pink of condition 

 and enthusiastic over his pet, the 

 canna. The rose was first with him, 

 and still is, of course as a business 

 proposition; but the canna is his 

 "pet." And he certainly has Riven the 

 world some wonderful new develop-
