 Mr. l,;i Hoclio appenrcd on this sceiif 

 o'" iniiiit'val peace like a whirlwind, 

 lie ostalilislu'.l a retail store with a 

 h.'.Klworkin^ partner, placed a wiiole 

 sale commission liouse in the basement 

 ;.nd luiilt a larj^e oroenlionse plant at 

 < (dlinjjdale. i'ossiiily this is a mis 

 leadinij statement, for after the disap- 

 |i( arunce of Mr. La Roche from the 

 scene, a few years later, the other 

 Philadelphia llorists began to feel that 

 perhaps they had bnilt this plant. Re 



that as it may, the Colliiigdale Oreen- 

 lienses pass(>d from bad to worse until 

 they reached the lowest round of the 

 floral ladder. 



Finally, three years ago, Alfred .M. 

 < r.mpbell leased what was left of this 

 plant and placed Fred Schezsky in 

 iharge. It was a hard tiattle for three 

 years; the houses were old and poorly 

 (onstructed, the place sorely neglected. 

 Teday the (.'ollingdalc Creenhouses, 

 ( (miprising some 128,000 square feet of 

 glass, are in better shape than they 

 iio.ve been for many a long year. The 



place looks well. It is devoted to 

 Asparagus plumosus for sprays, a spe 

 Cialty herj; to young plants of aspar 

 a^als, growing vigorously ; to adiantunis. 

 among which the hybridum in small 

 fiot.s were particularly fine; to neph 

 rolepis and to Kaiserin roses. Ten 

 thousand Emperor dafl'odils 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 

 davs were dawning. 



Rose Double Killarney. 



Sanmel S. Pennock wishes to curreor 

 I he impression that Double Killarney 

 lacks color. Mr. Pennock says that wben 

 a. prospective buyer told him of thig re- 

 port, he asked that judgment bo siis 

 jiended until the rose was seen growing 

 Sharon Hill was visited and an order 

 placed for .500 Double Killarney. Mr. 

 Pennock also said that Edwin J, Fan 

 court ha<l hroiight him three blooms of 

 Double Killarney that were better 

 colored than any Killarnev in tho cnol 

 iTig 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 

 Keut(>r & Son. Westerly, R. E It came 

 from the Waban strain of White Kil 

 l.-irney. This firm now has 100 plants 

 of their sports. Some flowers seen at 

 the S. S. PennockMet'lian < 'o. this week 

 showed wonderful substance.
