 was hold at the Museum Buiklini;

 Wednesday afternoon. May 13. The

 as to the Council, of which six mem- 

 bers are new, viz.. Messrs. C. B. 

 Weathered, P. R. Pierson. Ed. Roehrs 

 F L Atkins, E. S. Miller. Jos. A. 

 Manda. As these men. emphatically 

 representing commercial horticulture, 

 take the places of amateurs on the 

 Council the present trend of the sen^ 

 timent in the Society is apparent and 

 the introduction of such new blood 

 and activity will undoubtedly do 

 much to enhance the influence and 

 prestige of the Society. Dr. B. T. 

 Galloway read an interesting paper 

 on violets. The exhibition in connec- 

 tion with the meeting was not ex- 

 tensive except as to the orchid dis- 

 play staged by the gentlemen repre- 

 senting the recently formed orchid 

 section, but there were some good 

 collections of outdoor bloom from 

 several exhibitors. F. R. Pierson s 

 table of tree and shrub flowers, 

 which won first prize was very fine; 

 second went to W. McCollom. On 

 bulbous flowers A. M. Kirby was first 

 and F. R. Pierson Co., second, t. 

 Wienberg showed a fine group of 

 succulents. Julius Roehrs Co. staged 

 a handsome specim<>n of Newpoi-t 

 Fairy rose and H. A. Seibrecht &

 ing displays of wild flowers.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 

 June Show at Bronx Botanical Gar- 

 den, New York City. 

 A conference was held in New York j 

 City last week relative to the June 

 Show of outdoor and other roses. This 

 meeting decided the date to be in the 

 middle or last week in June. Presi- 

 dent Simpson and others of the 

 American Rose Society and the 

 committee of the New York Hor- 

 cultural Society attended this meet- 

 ing. There has been a strong 

 inclination at all gatherings hitherto 

 to erajihasize the desirability of_ the 

 Tune exhibitions and this year it is 

 now proposed to carry it into effect. 

 "A Rose for Every Home, a Bush 

 for Every Garden." At the time of the 

 year when this motto can be brought to 

 the eyes of a larger gathering than 

 at any other period of the year, the 

 American Rose Society invites the at- 

 tention of all its members to this af- 

 fair, requesting especially growers of 

 outdoor roses of any and all varieties 

 to be on hand and furthermore would 

 be more than pleased to receive the 

 support of any friends in the way of 

 prizes for this' Show. A wor^ to 

 growers — remember that this is a 

 popular show thrown open to thou- 

 sands of people who, at this time of 

 the year, gather for miles from the 

 most populous suburban and most 

 densely settled district in all America 

 —and this means cultivating business. 

 So wo want the Rosarians of New Jer- 

 sey, all of New York, Connecticut, 

 Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Mary- 



land, with as many friends from 

 Ohio and further west as practical, 

 to send on what they can. 



We want the rich men's estates with 

 their wealth of beauty and their edu- 

 cated gardeners, to lend a hand and 

 contribute of the glory of the products 

 of "the leafy month of June ' to the 

 coming Rose Show next month.
