Pays $4,000 for
Rare Blossoms

A remarkable collection of or
chids, most of which were grown
by the late Charles G. Roebling,
president of the company which
built the Brooklyn bridge, New
York, has been sold by the Roe
bling estate to Mrs. Frederick E.
Dixon, of Elkins Park, Pr, for
$4,000.
Mr.. Roebling sent expeditions
into the mountains Of South
America to search for rare va
rieties of orchids, and his col
lection is estimated to have cost
several hundred thousand dollars.
1t consisted of several hundred
species and varieties and several
thousands of seedlings grown at
Trenton.
A coincidence in connection
with the sale is that Mrs. Dixon's
father and brother and Washing
ton A. Roebling, only son of
Charles A Roebling, were lost in
the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
