For many years ]\lr. rcnnoek had 

 made his winter home in .lu])iter, Fhi., 

 where two of his sons arc en;;a^e(l in 

 liusiiiess. lie came from .lupitcr to his 

 home in Lansdowiic, I'a., to s|icnd tiie 

 beautiful month of dune. There was 

 eelebrated the golden wcdiliiij^ anni\i'r- 

 sary, June .", when Mr. aiol Mrs. I'en- 

 iioek, surrouiide(| iiy their sdiis and 

 dauf;liters and their ( iiihlrt'ii, had a 

 hajipy reunion. 



Abraham ].. I'ennoi-k built his first 

 greciiliouses at Lansdownc in 1,'S()1, the 

 year of the (•(iimneiicenifiit of our great 

 Civil war. It is interesting to note at 

 this time of stress that Mr. I'ennoek 

 had the eoui'ago to embark in a 

 new enterj)rise when the wlnde coun- 

 try was ringing with alarms. Three 

 years later, in Ji:G4, while the war was 

 .still ill progress, tlio tirni (if I'ennoek 

 Bros. commeiice(l business on Twelfth 

 street, near ("hestnut street. I'liiladel 

 ]diia. The firm was coiniiosed of A. L. 

 I'enmxdv and .1. L. reniiock. In ]s7(>. 

 the centennial xcar, I'ennoek Hros. re 

 moved to their present ijuarters at IT) I I 

 Cliestnut street. The lot was the same 

 si/i' then as now, but tiie stnii' and con 

 ser\atory lia\'e been iinpro\ci| an<l re- 

 modele<I since. In ls7s. I think, .1. L. 

 I'ennoek \\ it lolrew . The linn was then 

 fornu'il ni \. \j. I'ennoek. Thomas ('art 

 ledge, .l(din Westcott and Herbert A. 

 I'ennocls. Mr. I'ennoek continued hi^ 

 active interest in tiie tirin ot' i'ennoek 

 Bros, ami in his greeiiioiti^es at Lans- 

 downe until iSifJ, Avhen the firm of ren- 

 iiock JJros. was again changed; .lolin 

 Wcstcott withdrew to takc^ (diarge of 

 Ferguson's Lamnd Hill Nurseries, whi(di 

 he had just purchased, and Jlerbert A, 

 I'ennoek I'etired to embark in business 

 as a grower in l-'loriila. The limi then 

 consisted of Abraham 1.. reiiioick and 

 Thomas Cartledge, each |iaitiier brin- 

 ing his son to learn the business. U])ou 

 the death of Mr. <'artled-e, in TS98, Mr. 

 I'ennoek withdrew from the lirm of 

 i'ennoek liros., whi. h from tiiat day un- 

 til this has been composed of A. 1!. 

 Cartledge and .1. Liddon I'ennoek. 



^Ir. I'ennoek "s ureate-t tloriciilt ural 

 achievement lay in making lily of tln^ 

 \alley into an every-da.\-in the year 

 llower through the employment of cold 

 storage. 



Mr. J'onnock had divided his time 

 since his withdrawal from active busi- 

 ness between .lupiter, I'la., and Lans- 

 downe, Pa., keeping in close touch with 

 all the life of ludli ]ilaces.
