He rose to be foreman. and, after some years, went to my cousin, Harry Herbert, of Muckross, and to the Railway Hotel at Killarney, as Head Gardener. In these two places he remained for 6 years, and then came to us at Ashford as Head Gardener, where he was for 14 years, and returned to St. Anne's in 1895. so that he has been with us for the whole of his working life, 48 years, with the exception of the 6 years that he was at Killarney. As you know, he raised the fine Lobelias, Firefly, Lord Ardilaun and Gloire de St. Anne's, besides other seedlings which we did not name, and he was the first raiser of a seedling from the white Anemone Honorine Joubert, which he named Lady Ardilaun, and which at the time made a great sensation, and was noticed by French nurserymen. He also raised at St. Anne's the charming little Rose, Souvenir de St. Anne's.
