THE NEW OFFICEBS. 



President Samuel S. Pennock. 



Samuel S. Pennock, the newly elected 

 president of the Society of American 

 Florists, last week received the rare 

 compliment of being accorded the high- 

 est floricultural honor in the country 

 while absent from the convention at 

 which the election was held. Seldom 

 does such an action take place, but in 

 S. S. Pennock the society has a presi- 

 dent who well deserves such an honor. 



Mr. Pennock is now in Europe on a 

 mission for the Society of Friends. He 

 has been in charge of its work of feed- 

 ing the starving children in Germany. 

 While in France he was the recipient 

 of another honor, representing America 

 as judge at the big rose event of the 

 year in France, if not in the world, that 

 of the annual exhibition of roses at the 

 Bagatelle Gardens, which are famed for 

 their roses all over the world. 



Mr. Pennock is president of the S. S. 

 Pennock Co., the large and well known 

 wholesale florists' establishment in Phil- 

 .idelphia, which has branches in New 

 York, Baltimore and Washington. 



Mr. Pennock was born August 31, 

 1869, and, therefore, next week will 

 celebrate his fifty-second birthday. His 

 birthplace was Upper Darby, Pa. His 

 father, A. L. Pennock, one of the pi- 

 oneers of the flower business, founded 

 the firm of Pennock Bros, in 1863. S. S. 

 Pennock started in the florists' business 

 in 1887, with his brother Charles, at 38 

 South Sixteenth street, and was later 

 taken in as a partner. At the time of 

 his brother's death, in 1891, he suc- 

 ceeded to the whole business. He con- 

 tinued the business in the same place, 

 under the name of Samuel S. Pennock, 

 until 1896, when a move was made to 

 the present location, 1608 Ludlow 

 street. In 1906 the business was in-
