AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



As v.as the (ase nearly one year 

 ago, when members of the American 

 Rose Society visited Washington and 

 the rose test gardens at .Srlington. 

 Va., the committee which arrived at 

 the Capital on Tuesday to view the 

 roses v.hich they had "christened" at 

 that time, was again greeted with a 

 downpour of rain. 



A i>reliminary meeting was held in 

 the store of Gude Bros. Companv. fol 

 lowing which Arlington was visited 

 and more than an hour was spent ex- 

 amining the roses. However, neither 

 the bushes nor the flowers were in 

 condition to be judged. 



"Twin Oaks" was visited, the partv 

 being conducted over the estate bv 

 George E. Anderson, who is in charge

\ telegram extending "Greetings to 

 our secretary from the American nose 

 Society in post prandial seHsion as- 

 soinbled," was ordered sent to Secre- 

 tary Itcnjamin Hammond. Another 

 telegram expressing regret at his ab- 

 Hcnce was also sent to Theodore Wirth. 

 at .Minneapolis. Robert I'yie told of 

 the excellent nianncr In which William 

 F. Ciude, national representative, had 

 always cooperated with the members 

 of the society, and he asked that a 

 rising vote be given the latter in ap- 

 preciation of his efforts. Mr. Gude 

 responded with a few well chosen 

 words, referring to his efforts as a 

 work of love rather than of labor, and 

 pledging the continued cooperation of 

 his brother and himself in all future 

 activities. 



J. H. McFarland spoke of the bene- 

 fits to be derived by getting in closer 

 touch with the National Rose Society 

 of ICngland. and also of emulating to 

 some extent the activities of the other 

 body across the sea in its work of 

 getting out the rose annual and other 

 reading matter of benefit to all inter- 

 ested in rose growing. He also re- 

 ferred to the desirability of securing 

 the services of a pathologist for the 

 purpose of becoming acquainted with 

 methods of fighting rose plant dis- 

 eases. Prof. Mill ford stated that the 

 executive committee slu uld also give 

 some thought to means of bringing 

 across the continent the rose bushes 

 which the Pacific Coast growers would 

 be willing to contribute, but for which 

 there is no money available for the 

 payment of transportation charges. 

 He said that about 250 varieties had 

 been added during the past twelve 

 months, but that it was desirable that 

 more -west-coast iilants be sent in. 



Admiral -R'ard and Prof. Corbett 

 each spoke on the subject of stock and 

 the relation of stocks to various soils, 

 climates, and other conditions. E. G. 

 Hill spoke of the bright future for the 

 gardens, stating that lie expected at 

 some time they would prove the equal 

 of any of those abroad. He declared 

 a greater membership was necessary 

 in the society; that there should be a 

 far larger number of amateur growers 

 as members. 



President Pennock appointed 'Wil- 

 liam F. Gude as chairman of a com- 

 mittee of judges instructed to make 

 the same trip next week for the pur- 

 pose of scoring the roses which would 

 then be in bloom. 



An adjournment was then taken in 

 order to allow the out-of-town mem- 

 bers an opportunity to visit the Bo- 

 tanic Garden.
