Yesterday. 



All the greenhouses around Philadel- 

 phia were devoted to miscellaneous col- 

 lections, so to speak, of potted plants 

 and cut flowers. Almost all the florists 

 had some chrysanthemums in the fall, 

 some roses and carnations in winter; 

 some Easter plants followed; last and 

 most important of all, some geraniums 

 and other soft-wooded plants for filling 

 beds and boxes. Nearly everyone felt 

 obliged to take boarders, sick or well, 

 and grumbled about it. Everybody had 

 everything and nobody had anything in 

 winter. Our cut flowers at that season 

 came from Boston and from New York. 

 Then came a change. Wide-awake, far- 

 seeing growers saw possibilities for the 

 future. Edwin Lonsdale and John 

 Burton formed a partnership. They 

 built a greenhouse at Wyndmoor, where 

 the soil was good and the air was pure, 

 expressly to grow specialties for the 

 wholesale cut flower market in Philadel- 

 phia. They ignored tradition. They 

 put all their glass into carefully selected 

 varieties of winter-flowering plants and 

 allowed those who came for a geranium 

 or a lemon verbena to go away empty- 

 handed, without even a sigh. They had 

 flowers in winter when nobody else had 

 them. Thpy had them in quantity and 

 they prospered. American Beauty 

 roses were their great specialty. 



Today. 



Alfred Burton and George Burton 

 have three immense ranges of glass 

 where their uncle and their father first 

 built their greenhouses at Wyndmoor. 

 Alfred Burton operates one range. 

 George Burton operates two ranges, his 

 father's, the original Lonsdale and 

 Burtdn range, and his own, built since. 

 On all three ranges the American 

 Beauty still flourishes, with only this 

 difference: They not only supply Phil- 

 adelphia with Beauties, but their Phila- 

 delphia Beauties supply a vast expanse 

 of territory besides. So this wholesale 

 production prospered. 



Besides Beauties, Alfred Burton^ 

 grows Mrs. Charles Russell in great 

 numbers. His Russell stands at the 

 very top of the list, a rose that can be 

 depended upon to go anywhere with
