. Germantown Gardens and Gardeners. n theagricultural world, the property having been once the homeof Chief Justice Allen. In the year 1850, the Germantown pupils attending thisschool were Charles W. Krebs, Samuel Gorgas, ColumbusThompson, Jacob David, John Livezey, Thomas Live-zey, Joseph Livezey, William Pope and W. ScottWilkinson. Upon the decline of the school, the placewas bought by James Gowen, and gardener to himwas Peter Kieffer, an able German. With the ex-ception of a few rare trees and shrubs, and a magnoliaof fantastic growth, the Gowen garden is a thing of the past.Peter Kieffer prospered, and upon leaving Mr. Gowen hestarted a nursery on the Gorgas tract upon Cresheim Road, immediately south of Allens Lane. Peter Kieffers house isyet standing upon Allens Lane, west of the PennsylvaniaRailroad, but his large stone barn was taken down in the year1909. From this place Peter Kieffer removed to ShawmontAvenue, Roxborough, near to the Wissahickon boundary, where he established another nursery, and where in 1863 he. Peter Kieffer 89 produced the celebrated Kieffer Pear, a cross between theBartlett, and Chinese sand pears. In company with JosephMeehan, I made several visits to this place to inspect its stockof rare shrubs and trees, and when we called it was alwaysthe pleasure of Mr. Kieffer to show and ours to view, theoriginal Kieffer pear tree. Peter Kieffer was a rare char-acter, a lovable old man, who November 7, 1890, in hiseightieth year, passed to his rewards, and was laid to rest inSt. Johns Grounds at Manayunk, a place I never pass with-out stopping to think of him. George Kieffer continues thenursery. If not remarkable, it is at least interesting that severalcommon products had their origin, or their first use in Ger-mantown, or in its nearby territory. The famous SeckelPear was a find upon the Holland tract of land in lowerPhiladelphia. It was discovered by a local sportsman, famil-iarly known as Dutch Jake, and was publicly made knownfirst by Bishop
