A Letter About a Rose 



House and Nine Growers 



— iTheir Opinions «- 



^NE day last August I found a letter on my desk 

 that put me in a particularly good humor. It 

 came from Philadelphia. Here is an extract from it : 

 'Mr. Joseph Heaoock recently invited several 

 florists to visit his new rose house at Roelofs, Pa. 

 Among those who yesterday accepted his invitation 

 to go were Mr. Robert Craig, J. Welsh Young, Geo. 

 C. Watson, Gteo. Craig, David Rust, Fred Hahman, 

 Thomas Logan, John Westcott and myself. They all 

 thought that the new L. & B. Iron Frame house, 55x600 feet, was 

 one of the best they had ever seen. 



" It is a well-known fact that Mr. Heaoock has been sending 

 in the best Klllamey roses that have come to the Philadelphia mar- 

 ket the past winter. He has been able to get a better price for his 

 roses from the new house than any other grower. The reason for 

 this is undoubtedly because Mr. Heaoock has an up-to-date house. 

 One of the growers remarked that 'most growers can cut good roses 

 at certain times of the year, but with a house like this one it makes 

 it ix)ssible to produce high-grade stock at all seasons. ' This proves 

 conclusively to my mind that your large Iron Frame house, which 

 gives the most light and largest amoimt of air space, is the ideal 

 rose house, other conditions being equal." 



To which we would add— send for our catalogue.
