The question wlictlier tlic rose will 

 supplant the carnation and the sweet 

 pea as Chester county's contribution 

 to the cut flower market attracts atten- 

 tion to tlic greenhouses of Ahin Harvey 

 & Sons, at Urandywinc Runimit. This 

 large range was started seventeen years 

 ago for carnations, with later additions 

 for sweet ]icas, and is now devoted en- 

 tirely to roses grown for cut flowers. 

 The addition of ii new house, :?.3i/'> l\v 1'''0 

 feet, last summer and the general ap- 

 pearance of the stock ]irove that roses 

 are s.atisfactory. The ])lace stands for 

 large houses and for soliil beds. 



There aro 60,000 rose ]ilants, <livided 

 something like this: l."),000 each of 

 Columbia and Ophelia: 0,000 Hadlev; 

 7,500 Russell; 7,000 Premier; 4,.j00 Sun- 

 burst, and about 2,000 others, including 

 the novelties, Butterfly, Dunloji and Pil- 

 grim. They looked well. The place is 

 heated by two power establishments.

 with tubular boilers of 100 horsepower 

 each. Soft coal is burncil to produce 

 steam. The Worthington vacuum pump 

 governor is particularly well arranged. 

 It works automatically. 



Those best .able to judge think that it 

 will be a long time before the Chester 

 county gro\»itrs will follow the lead of 

 the Harveys. \ The better prices that 

 other crops are expected to bring, the 

 experience gained in growing them, and 

 the unsuitability of some hons(>s and 

 soils for roses are given as reasons. 

 Then, too. there are few grow(>rs as jiro- 

 gressive as Edward A. Harvey.
