ness. He then went to West Chester and 

 learned the nursery and florist business 

 with Hoopes Bros. & Thomas, leaving 

 there in 1877 to conduct greenhouses in 

 Doylestown, furnishing plants for Samuel 

 Wilson, a seed grower of Mechanicsville. 

 It was shortly after this that he became 

 associated with the firm of W. Atlee 

 Burpee & Co. After the Fordhook Farm, 

 in Doylestown township, was started by 

 Burpee & Co., in the spring qf 1888, Mr. 

 Darlington acted as manager until his 

 health gave out, when he was succeeded 

 by Howard M. Earle, and became confi- 

 dential adviser of the firm, taking charge, 

 also, of the trial grounds during the 

 summer. During the busy season in the 

 winter he was engaged in the offices in 

 Philadelphia. 



Mr. Darlington had a wide knowledge 

 of plant life and was a recognized au- 

 thority on many varieties of vegetables 

 and flowers. Besides writing numerous 

 leaflets and books for W. Atlee Burpee & 

 Co., he contributed quite frequently to 

 the different horticultural magazines. 



He was married in 1888 to Miss Cath- 

 arine S. Darlington, of Concordville, 

 daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Hillborn Dar- 

 lington, of that place, who survives him 

 with three children: Hillborn, Henry T. 

 and Catharine S. Other survivors are his 

 mother, Mrs. Susan Darlington; two 

 brothers, Walter, of Philadelphia, and 

 Philip S., of Doylestown, and three sis- 

 ters, Mrs. Frank Faxon, of Kansas City; 

 Mrs. Marshall Pugh, of Wayne, and Mrs. 

 John C. Swartley, of Doylestown. 



Samtiel Gass. 



Samuel Gass, aged 64, for many years 

 a well-known florist in Pittsburg, died 

 recently at his home, Gass and McClure 

 avenues, north side, after a short illness 

 of pneumonia. He was born in the north 

 side and was the son of the man in honor 

 of whom Gass avenue was named. Mr. 

 Gass had a stand in the Pittsburg mar- 

 ket for almost forty years. He leaves his 

 widow, Mrs. Mary Gass; two sons, Albert 

 J. and Samuel H. Gass, and a daughter, 

 Miss Hettie Gass.

 illness of two months, aged 70 years. 

 He was a florist and landscape gardener 

 in Germany, emigrating to the United 

 States in the year 1883, landing at Cleve-
