AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



The executive committee of the 

 American Rose Society held a meet- 

 ing in New York City and went over 

 the list of roses of American origin 

 filed for the coming Bulletin. The 

 list of prizes for the coming spring 

 exhibition, which will be held at the 

 International Flower Show in the 

 Grand Central Palace in New York 

 City, was also prepared. It will be 

 Increased by some specials. 



The expectation is that a larg- 

 er number will exhibit even than did 

 last spring, when the greatest Rose 

 Show ever held in America was given. 

 The prizes cover both the plants and 

 the cut flowers.
