AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



At a meeting of the Executive Com- 

 mittee held in New York City at 

 Traendly & Schenck's office, Presidenl 

 Adolph Farenwald of Roslyn. Pa,, pre- 

 siding, ih.' particular matter in ques- 

 tion was the settlement of the payment 

 of prizes awarded at the National 

 Flower Show in Boston. There had 

 been a variance of opinion in regard 

 to the construction of the resolution 

 passed at Rochester, N. Y., relative to 

 the amount of money that was to be 

 paid to the National Flower Show 

 Committee, and until this had been set- 

 tled the prizes had been held in abey- 

 ance. Vice-President Philip Breit- 

 meyer advised, "I am in favor of a set- 

 tlement rather than have any ill-feel- 

 ing especially with the lot of men who 

 have worked so hard to make the re- 

 cent show a success. I would say pay 

 up and forget. Let us go ahead with 

 unity and kindliness and do all the 

 better in the future." The Executive 

 Committee who were unable to attend 

 sent proxies and the sense of all was 

 the same, as was so admirably ex- 

 pressed by Mr. Breitmeyer. 



A formal motion was pu( and car- 

 ried as follows: "That th. Treasurer 

 of the American Rose Society pay to 

 the order of the National Flower Show 

 Committ. • tin- sum of five hundred 

 and thirty-seven dollars, being tin- 

 amount called for by tin- .National 

 Flower Show Committee in full settie- 

 ment of all premiums due for awards 

 made at the Spring Exhibition in Bos- 

 ton, March, 1911." Treasurer H. 0. 

 May. upon receiving the action of the 

 meeting drew the cheque for $537, and 

 forwarded it to Treasurer E. Allan 

 Peirce of the National Flower Show- 

 Committee and after this is paid, it 

 leaves net in the treasury of the 

 American Rose Society a larger sum 

 than has been there before at this 

 time of year. 



At the coming convention in Balti- 

 more, it is planned to have a meeting 

 of the American Rose Society, to be 

 as largely attended as possible, on 



Thursday. August 17th. and al thai 



tiin.' the question of the next Annual 

 Exhibition to hi' held in Detroit as to 

 date thereof, and the holding of the 

 show jointly with the Carnation So- 



ciety will i..- brought up. 



Th.' Rose sin.w in Boston, out of all 

 the fine things placed on exhibition, 

 was the most attractive to the masses 

 of people w ho were I here ami al I le 

 troit there would be every opportunity 

 to exhibit to the people of both the 

 United States and Canada and we want 

 a good reciprocity show from everyone 

 concerned, who can help to make il go

 in ],,■ known as the Western Dahlia

 and assoeiate; the latter are not re- 

 sponsible for the pushing of the or-

 privileges of the association except 

 oting, and will be helped in even 

 way possible in growing the flowers.

 and we trust to make a success of the 

 program. It is also planned to issue
