 had a large display of Rhea Reid and 

 Princess, the latter a fine, light pink; 

 also carnations Sarah Hill, white. 

 Afterglow and White Enchantress. 

 Princess rose may be renamed, as it 

 seems the name has already been ap- 

 propriated. It is said to be a good 

 keeper and to open entirely out with- 

 out dropping its petals. W. P. Craig 

 showed rose Mrs. Jardine and Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. displayed Mrs. Potter 

 Palmer. The president appointed as

 to the E. G. Hill Co. first-class cer- 

 tificates for carnations Sarah Hill and

 color. Messrs. Fred- Burki, T. P. 

 Langhans and B. J. McCallum, as rose 

 committee, awarded first-class cer- 

 tificates to B. G. Hill Co. for Rhea 

 Reid and Princess; to Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., for Mrs. Potter Palmer, and 

 to W. P. Craig, for Mrs. Jardine. 



Fred Burki, Gibsonia, Pa., showed 

 roses, among them being Alice Roose- 

 velt, a sport from Chatenay, of which 

 he has not yet grown enough to pass 

 final judgment upon. 



Henry Menschke showed roses, in- 

 cluding Gen. MacArthur, the latter 

 particularly noticeable for its charm- 

 ing fragrance. Dr. Shafer, through 

 Jas. Hutchinson, showed four hybrid 

 cypripediums.
