 the Exposition Department of Horti-

 The Annual Proceedings and Bulle-

 the year 1913 has been issued. It con-

 of the International Flower Show, and 

 other society transactions and some 

 interesting and practical original arti- 

 cles. Particularly useful are the lists 

 of rose introductions from 1898 to 1913 

 which fill eight pages of the Report. 

 Secretary Hammond has turned out a 

 very creditable publication.
