SARY OF RED ROSE INN

The 2OOth anniversary of historic
Red Rose Inn was celebrated Thurs
day at the Inn at Jennersville, Ches-
ter county, Pa, when 500 persons
witnessed the ceremony.
According to an ancient deed OF
October 8, 1748, rent for Red Rose
Inn must annually be paid to a des-
cendant of William Penn, to whom
the land was granted originally by
King Charles of Eng. This rent"
one perfect rose, makes such terms
the unusual occasion for this an
nual celebration. The lady receiving
this September 10 trent" was Mrs.
Francis P. Lyman, nee Amy Penn
Gaskell Hall and her SON, F. R.
Lyman, Jr. Robert Pyle offered the
payment, which was the highlight
of the days event, September 10,
the browning touch to the program.
Among the many notables assem-
bled for this unique occasion were
editors and publisheds of such mag
azines at Better Homes and Gardens,
Garden Digest, House Beautiful, etc.
A tour among the 10000 rose
plans-acres of roses was taken.
Guides for them were: Sidney Hut
ton, vice president of Conard-Pyle
Company; George Ohlhus, rose
grower of the company and Charles
H. Ogden, landscape specialist, also
of the company.
A delightful luncheon was served
at the Inn, some eating in the an
tique room and others in the grove
overlooking the beautiful gardens.
The afternoon program opened with
a pageant, Baby Star Rose Court
Tiny Tot Town." directed by Mrs
Irene Robinson Carney.
DR.. Francis Harvey Green, presi-
dent of Chester County Historical
Society and headmaster of Penn
ington Seminary, was the principal
speaker. His interesting talk cen
tered on what he called the "alikes. F"
Talking on history of the lovely old
Inn, he stressed its locality, hospi-
tally, cordially and joviality.
The final and fitting conclusion to
the events of the day, was the pre-
sentation of lovely rose to each
of the 500 or more guests, and car
rying with them pleasant memories
as they departed for home, the in
delible impression made on the mind
of each was that acres of roses in
riotous colors was no dream, but a
living reality. Robert Pyle, president
of the Conrad-Pyle Company, was
master of ceremonies.
