MacRORlE-McLAREN DISPLAY OF BAYS AND EVERGREENS AT THE SAN FRANCISCO SHOW, MARCH 30, 1911. PEOPLE WE KNOW. H. Frank Darrow. Ey his as an importer of things horticultural, and by his large standing connection with important leading European firms, H. Frank DarroAv is well known to the trade, and it is with pleasure that we here- with present his portrait, taken from a very recent photograph, with a short sketch of his business career. Born in New London, Conn., in the year 1S6G, and receiving there a flrst- class education, he, at the age of 21, in the year 1,8S7 to be exact, entered the employ of Theodore Pabst & 26 Barclay street, who used the en- tire building, excepting the ground -floor, and who were the American rep- resentatives for Vilmorin-Andrieux & Co., Paris, France, and for Louis Le- roy's Nurseries Co., Angers. France. Theo. Pabst & Co., going out of busi- ness in 1893, the late Aug. Rhotert succeeded to the horticultural rep- resentation, adding other agencies and so getting together a complete and en- tire line for nurserymen and florists. Mr. Darrow was retained on the staff by Mr. Rhotert, and subsequently was given an interest in the business. On the death of Mr. Rhotert, which oc- curred in 1900, after a long illness, Mr. Darrow became sole owner of the business, and since July of that year has conducted it under his own name. Under Mr. Darrow's management, the yearly business increase is very grati- fying. It is one of the largest of Its kind in the country, and the European firms represented are among the best and most reliable in the world. Be- sides the two French firms already mentioned, he is sole agent for the United States and Canada for John Palmer & Sons, Ltd., Annan, Scotland; H. M. Hardyzer, Boskoop, Holland; The Haerens Co, of Ghent, Belgium, and E. Neubert, Wandesbek, Germany. Beside
