Rosarians will mourn the loss of Charles P. Kilham, who passed away on February 4, at the age of seventy-one years...

This experience was followed by a period spent with Messrs. Dicksons, at Chester, before he came to serve with Messrs. G. Beckwith and Son at their Tottenham nurseries. His.... and general capacity soon marked him down for promotion , and in due course he was transferred to the then new nurseries the Messrs. Beckwith had established at Hoddesdon. Here he became general manager , a position he held for half-a-century. As a cultivator of Roses under glass he had no peer, and many men who are now occupying good positions in other nurseries, or who have started business on their own account, were trained by Mr. Kilham.

One of his firm's outstanding successes was the popular Rose that bears his name -- the Hybrid Tea variety Charles P. Kilham . We sympathize with Messrs . G. Beckwith and Son in the loss they have sustained , but it is a great consolation to them to know that Mr. C. W. Kilham, the elder son of their late manager, is fully competent to take up the position held for half-a-century by his father.
