Important for Rose Exhibitors. 



We have discovered that on the En- 

 try Form for the National Rose Festi- 

 val in Philadelphia it is stated that 

 March 21st is the date for staging the 

 commercial classes of cut roses. This 

 is an error, as will be seen by perusal 

 of the printed program. These will be 

 staged at 12 o'clock noon on the 20th 

 inst. 



We wish to state that we have been 

 very well pleased with the results that 

 we have obtained from our advertise- 

 ment with you. 



Very truly yours,
