THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY 



At the executive committee meeting of the 

 American Rose Society it was decided to ac- 

 cept the invitation extended by the Syracuse 

 Rose Society to hold the annual meeting of 

 the -American Rose Society in that city, in 

 recognition of Dr. Mills' efforts in estab- 

 lishing rose societies throughout New York 

 State. Upon Mr. J. Horace McFarland's 

 request that he be released as chairman of 

 the membership committee, Mr. Joseph J. 

 Lane, of House & Garden, was appointed in 

 his place. The membership now numbers 

 2,487. President Pvle reported that his hrm 

 had propagated 1.700 plants of the Mary 

 \\'allace rose for the Department of Agri- 

 culture. It was decided to plant out the 

 stock of the Mary Wallace rose thus far 

 propa.gated so that the dormant plants in two 

 year sizes might be distributed to the firms 

 who will have made application by Decem- 

 ber 1. 1922. It was further voted that a re- 

 quest should be addressed to the Department 

 of Agriculture to allow the American Rose_ 

 Society to cooperate in the introduction of 

 other Van Fleet novelties.

Prepare Now for the Hot Dry Days 



No need to worry about the long, liot, 

 rainless days if you have a Dayton Rotary 

 Oscillating Sprinkler ready. It makes 

 rain when you want it. 



It sprinkles every foot of ground in a 

 circle, or halt circle, nf 6 feet to S'l feet. 



It is better for your lawn and plants 

 and more saving of water than sprinkling 

 with a licse. The Dayton operates on any 

 water pressure from 15 pounds up. If 

 your la-. al dealer cannot supply you, order 

 from \is diiect. ?S f. o. h. Xew V.-'rk.
