OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. 

 If all the members of the American 

 Rose Society were as good workers 

 as Robert Pyle, of the Conard & 

 Jones Co.. there would be nothing 

 else heard of in the horticultural 

 world but the A. R. S. He tool; in 

 seventeen new members after his re- 

 cent lecture in Pittsburgh. We are 

 not all Robert Pyles. able to pull in 

 piles like this, but we can all do a 

 little. If each of us should send in 

 one. that would double the member- 

 ship, and doubling the membership 

 doubles the influence. The president, 

 Samuel S. Pennock. is a great worker 

 himself, bat his other real greatness
