FLOWER SHOWS. 



The impression that Kansas City has 

 solved the problem of making a flower 

 show pay on its merits is evidently er- 

 roneous, judging by a report appearing 

 in the Kansas City Star of March 8th 

 regarding the last show and which we 

 reprint below. And it should not be 

 ■overlooked that in this statement there 

 is no charge for rent, frequently a se- 

 rious item in other cities.

If we read the statement aright, the 

 show lost on its merits (that is presum- 

 ing no premiums had been donated) $4.- 

 402.11 in addition to the rent, and we 

 understand that the rent usually ask^d 

 for Convention Hall is $1,000 a daV, mak- 

 ing a total of $6,000 for rent, and'a total 

 loss of $10,402.11. Tliis is not very en- 

 couraging. 



AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



At the meeting to be lield in Pliihidel- 

 phia, March 25, a motion will be made 

 to amend the constitution so as to pro- 

 vide for twelve members of the executive 

 •comniittec, inst<>ad of si.\. of which four 

 are to be elected each year. 



A new special prize for the comin" 

 exhibition has been offered bv Benjamin 

 Dorrance. It is a silver cup, valued at 

 $50, and is offered for the best rose 

 blooms grown outside a radius of 150 

 miles of Philadelphia, as measured by 

 •railroad distance, not less than five varie- 

 ties and not less than 25 blooms of a 

 kind. 



MADISON, N. J. 



Mr. Chas. H. Totty, who has for the 

 past eight years been in charge of the 

 greenhouses at Florham i'arms, with Mr.

 the best wishes of all his associates, and 

 nis host of oiner friends in the trade

 well known pioneer florist, died March 

 4, aged 83 years. He was born in Ire- 

 land and came to America about 50 years
