AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 

 The American Rose Society had an 

 important meeting in Philadelphia 

 June 4. While the annual meeting oc- 

 curs March 13 each year, there is 

 usually a supplementary meeting in 

 June — the month of roses — and this 

 year several important matters had 

 been left in abeyance for final action, 

 the principal of which being the 

 election of the president for the year. 

 This honor fell to Robert Pyle of the 

 Conard & Jones Co, West Grove, Pa., 

 and a better man for the office would 

 be hard to mention, notwithstanding 

 the many eminent rosarians who had 

 graced the chair during the past 

 twenty years. The meeting took place 

 at the residence of George C. Thomas, 

 Jr., Chestnut Hill, whose rose gardens 

 are famous far and wide and whose 

 writings on his favorite flower are uni- 

 versally admitted to be the most up- 

 to-the-minute in this country and 

 abroad. About three hundred ardent 

 enthusiasts attended the meeting, and 

 inspected the rose gardens of Mr. 

 Thomas, which contain almost every 

 known variety of the Queen of Fowers. 

 The inspection lasted from 10 a. m. to 

 5 p. m. and was much enjoyed. An 

 interesting feature of the occasion 

 was a dinner served by Mr. Thomas 

 to the officers and executive com- 

 mittees of the society, at which the 

 retiring president, Benjamin Ham- 

 mond of Beacon, N. Y., was presented 

 with a specially bound volume of the 

 latest Lippincott edition of "Thomas 

 On Roses," by George C. Thomas, Jr. 

 This was the gift of another ex-presi- 

 dent, Samuel S. Pennock, who made 

 the- presentation speech. Many rosa- 

 rians from distant parts of the country 

 were present, even the far off Pacific 

 Coast being represented by Dr. W. A. 

 Moore of Hollywood Gardens, Seattle, 

 Washington.
