Mention The RpvIpw when you write 



and people are enthusiastic over the 

 roses in their gardens. They come to 

 see our window display, make notes of 

 the kinds they want and order them. 

 We have many fine varieties in pots, 

 hybrid teas that simply require knock- 

 ing out of the pot and planting; then 

 they will go right ahead, growing and 

 blooming. 



"Mr. Eisele finds his work among the 

 new roses a relaxation from his other 

 work. They are inspirations. A great 

 future is opening before us for the rose 

 in the American garden." 



A Weil-Known Hand. 



A newspaper "came in the mail a few 

 days ago. The address was in a hand, 

 clear and flowing, well known to many 

 of us in Philadelphia. The paper 

 proved to be a copy of the Santa Bar- 

 bara Independent of June 8. The 

 marked passage gave an account of the 

 meeting of Luther Burbank, W. Atlee 

 Burpee, Howard M. Earl and Edwin 

 Lonsdale in Lompoc valley, California, 

 Avhat they saw and what they said. 



The facts gleaned from this para- 

 graph are that Lompoc valley contains 

 some 10,000 fertile acres, the climate 

 favorable to an extent that warrants 

 the name "the home of the sweet pea," 

 also that cherries flourish exceedingly. 

 Mr. Burbank is reported to have ex- 

 pressed regret that he had not located 

 at Lompoc instead of Santa Rosa and 

 that with the concurrence of Mr. Bur- 

 pee he named his wonderful new poppy 

 Fireflame. Reading between the lines, 

 it appeared that Mr. Lonsdale is mak- 

 ing progress, whereat all his Philadel- 

 phia friends will rejoice.
