MARCH 9, 1S99. 



AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



Dear Sir; — Knowing you to be real- 

 ly interested in tlie Queen of Flo-wers, 

 "The Rose," I beg to advise you that 

 a meeting of rose growers and rose 

 lovers will be held at the Broadway 

 Central Hotel, 671 Broadway, above 

 Bleecker street, New York City, on 

 Monday, the 13th of March. 1899, at 2 

 o'clock p. m., for the purpose of tak- 

 ing up and reorganizing the American 

 Rose Society, which was started by a 

 few members at Atlantic City, New 

 Jersey, in August, 1S94, but for various 

 reasons, too long to describe here, has 

 remained dormant ever since. Now 

 many of our live rosarians are very 

 much in earnest to put this society oa 

 a practical, active working basis. 



At Atlantic City the following mem- 

 bers were enrolled, paying $5.00 each: 

 John H. Taylor, Bayside, Long Island; 

 F. L. Moore, Chatham, New Jersey; 

 Edwin Lonsdale, Philadelphia, Pa.; R. 

 F. Tesson, St. Louis, Mo.; G. P. Raw- 

 son, Elmira, N. Y.; H. B. Beatty, Oil 

 City, Pa.; J. N. May, Summit, N. J., 

 and, later, P. L. Bills, Wm. Plumb and 

 W. H. Spooner joined us. 



In addition to the above, the fol- 

 lowing gentlemen join in making this 

 call for a meeting: Ernst G. Asmus, 

 West Hoboken, N. J.; H. Hentz, Jr., 

 Madison, N. J.; S. C. Nash, Clifton, N. 

 J.; Louis M. Noe, Madison, N. J.; and 

 Paul M. Pierson, Scarboro, N. Y., and 

 we all earnestly request you to be pres- 

 ent and come prepared to make any 

 suggestions you may think of that will 

 make this society thoroughly practical 

 and of the greatest benefit to the 

 greatest number. 



That the Queen of Flowers has re- 

 mained so long unrepresented by a 

 society is to be deeply regretted, and 

 by none more than myself. Its scope 

 of usefulness is practically unlimited; 

 that it can be of the greatest value to 

 everyone interested in roses, whether 

 they are growing for profit oi pleasure, 

 no one can deny. Therefore, we earn- 

 estly again request you to be present, 

 as we think you would prefer to be 

 one of the charter members, and, if 

 from any unforeseen cause, you cannot 

 possibly be present, please write me 

 direct, making any suggestions which 

 you think of that can possibly be of 

 any service at the meeting, and en- 

 close 15.00 as membership fee, thereby 

 greatly obliging all the above, and 

 Yours very truly.
