50 Years of Rose Growing 
A record such as this of Antoine Wintzer, Vice-President of The Conard & Jones Company, 
is noteworthy, we believe, because unmatched in America today. 
Mark Sullivan, now editor of Collier’s weekly, a national periodical of 600,000 circulation, 
was once a West Grove schoolboy. On Independence Day, 1916, in an address at West Grove 
before the people of his home county, he said: 
X. „ 
“I would like to acknowledge again the pleasure 1 have in coming here and seeing an occasional face that 1 
remember. A man who used to speak to me when I went past his place was Mr. Antoine Wintzer. He, I am 
sure, did not know just who the little boy was, but out of the kindliness of his heart he used to speak to me, 
and that gave me a feeling of exaltation and helped me. I often think some especial honor ought to be paid to 
him. You are no doubt familiar with the proverb that the man who excels in his art shall stand before kings— 
not just those words, but containing that thought. Mr. Wintzer excels in his art. He brought to West Qrove 
the business of raising flowers, and it has become the chief industry of the town. A man of that kind always 
commands admiration and respect and, in the words of the proverb, shall stand before kings.” 
The fiftieth milestone was passed this summer. Fifty years ago in July Antoine Wintzer, our 
Vice-President, came to West Grove and began growing Roses for the people of America, and 
throughout every year for half a century he has made or directed the making of thousands upon 
thousands of Roses that have gone out from West Grove. (See Roses, page 30.)
