Benjamin Hammond 

 Secretary American Rose Society. 



but the Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 of Boston had already selected that 

 evening for the entertainment of the 

 visitors at an informal reception, 

 lunch and dance, and the preparations 

 have gone so far in the way of print- 

 ing tickets, caterer, etc., that to 

 change it is impossible at so late a 

 date. Probably a way out of the awk- 

 ward situation will be fixed as soon 

 as the American Carnation Society 

 meets. — Ed.
