The Fortlolh Annual Convi-ntlon of 

 this Astiociatlon will lu> held In fhi- 

 city of Detroit, Mich.. June L'3-25 next. 

 In a week or two every member of the 

 Association and every leftltliiiale 

 nurseryman In the United States will 

 receive the '.Vnnouncemont" of the 

 event, which. In addition to contalnin;; 

 much of the details of arraniiement. 

 program nie of speakers and of enter- 

 tainment, will make an urKcnt ^\en 

 for prompt renewal of membership, as 

 well as for responses from those who. 

 whilst daily living in the enjoyment of 

 the privileses and benefits secnn-d for 

 them by this Association, have hUher- 

 to turned a deaf ear to our appeals li>r 

 their cooperation. 



That the Detroit meeting is going 

 to be a success no one questions, but 

 It will be a much greater success in 

 point of numbers and Influenco if 

 every nurseryman who ought to be- 

 long responded to this invitation. A 

 fee of five dollars per year is e.Kceed- 

 ingly small compared with the benefits 

 afforded by a membership. 



It is the expectation that a special 

 railroad car will be chartered to con- 

 vey tjie nurserymen of Roehoster, N. 

 Y., and the immediate vicinity. Those 

 intercste<i should write E. S. Osborne 

 of Charlton Xursery Company. Final 

 particulars regarding special rates and 

 special car parties will be contained In 

 the "Announcement." In the mean- 

 time John Hall. Secretary, 204 (Iranite 

 Building. Rochester. N. Y., will gladly 

 respond to requests for further infor- 

 mation roncorning membership, etc. 



AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



The annual meeting and exhibition 

 of the American Rose Society will be 

 held in Horticultural Hall, Boston. 

 March 18th to 21st. The New York 

 Flower Show at the Grand Central 

 Palace occurs March 17th to 23rd. It 

 has been arranged to stage roses at 

 these exhibitions to conflict as little 

 as possible, and the American Rose 

 Society wishes to call attention to 

 these dates. Roses in pots and tubs 

 will be staged at Boston on Thursday, 

 March 18th. All cut roses will be 

 staged on Friday. March 19th. on 

 which day the annual meeting will be 

 held at 3 o'clock. 



At the New York Flower Show, all 

 pot-grown roses will be staged on 

 Wednesday. March 17th. All classes 

 of cut roses, except the special class 

 for display of 1000 blooms, will be 

 staged on Thursday. March 18th. This 

 special class will be staged on Satur- 

 day. March 20th. 



This arrangement allows an exhibi- 

 tor the opportunity of exhibiting in 

 New York on Thursday and in Boston 

 on Friday. It allows visitors from a 

 distance the opportunity of partici- 

 pating in both the New York Flower 

 Show and the American Rose Society 

 Annual Exhibition, which, in conjunc- 

 tion with the spring show of the Mass- 

 achusetts Horticultural Society, will 

 be especially attractive. The Ameri- 

 can Rose Society invites your atten- 

 dance and your exhibit. Schedules 

 may be obtained from Benjamin Ham- 

 mond. Beacon, N. Y. We trust that 

 our exhibition will be a credit to the
