Uention The Review when you write. 



AdvertiMment of 



The Piae Tree Silk Mills Oompany. 



Neither big claims nor little claims amount to anything 

 without good backing. For years we have told you how good 

 PINE TREE RIBBONS are. About the special colors, 

 special prices and why they would be particularly good for 

 your wants. How many times have you been ' ' just ready ' ' to 

 write for samples but didn't ? Right now, this very moment 

 would be an opportune time. Get samples and prices for 

 comparison with those "just as good kind" (?) Then you 

 will see why it is so much to your advantage to buy your 

 ribbons direct from the manufacturer.

Mention The Review when you write 



and shake them with enthusiasm borne 

 of dire need for the flowers he brought. 

 Mr. La Eoche appeared on this scene 

 of primeval peace like a whirlwind. 

 He established a retail store with a 

 hard-working partner, placed a whole- 

 sale commission house in the basement 

 and built a large greenhouse plant at 

 Collingdale. Possibly this is a mis- 

 leading statement, for after the disap- 

 pearance of Mr. La Roche from the 

 scene, a few years later, the other 

 Philadelphia florists began to feel that 

 perhaps they had built this plant. Be 



that as it may, the Collingdale Green- 

 houses passed from bad to worse until 

 they reached the lowest round of the 

 floral ladder. 



Finally, three years ago, Alfred M. 

 Campbell leased what was left of this 

 plant and placed Fred Schezsky in 

 charge. It was a hard battle for three 

 years; the houses were old and poorly 

 constructed, the place sorely neglected. 

 Today the Collingdale Greenhouses, 

 comprising some 28,000 square feet of 

 glass, are in better shape than they 

 have been for many a long year. The 



place looks well. It is devoted to 

 Asparagus plumosus for sprays, a sp«- 

 cialty her3; to young plants of aspar- 

 agus, growing vigorously; to adiantums, 

 among which the hybridum in small 

 pots were particularly fine; to neph- 

 rolepis and to Kaiserin roses. Ten 

 thousand Emperor daffodils are grown 

 as a side line, as well as petunias, 

 feverfew and, it may be, gladioli. 

 Plenty of hard work has been put into 

 this place and it looks as if brighter 

 days were dawning. 



Rose Double EiUaxney. 



Samuel S. Pennock wishes to correct 

 the • impression that Double Killamey 

 lacks color. Mr. Pennock says that when 

 a prospective buyer told him of this re- 

 port, he asked that judgment be sus- 

 pended until the rose was seen growing. 

 Sharon Hill was visited and an orde? 

 placed for 500 Double Killarney. Mr. 

 Pennock also said that Edwin J. Fan- 

 court had brought him three blooms of 

 Double Killarney that were better 

 colored than any Killarney in the cool- 

 ing rooms. 



This same heading will appropriately 

 cover another Double Killarney, a white 

 with thirty-six petals to each flower. 

 This rose has originated with S. J. 

 Reuter & Son, Westerly, R. I. It came 

 from the Waban strain of White Kil- 

 larney. This flrm now has 100 plants 

 of their sports. Some flowers seen at 

 the S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. this week 

 showed wonderful substance.
