THE SPRING EXHIBITION 



A joint exhibition of the American Rose Society and of this 

 society will be held at the American Museum of Natural History 

 from March sixteenth to eighteenth. It is intended to open the 

 exhibition the evening of the first day at 7, closing at 10. On 

 Thursday and Friday the exhibition will be open from 9 A. M. 

 to 5 P. M. and from 7 to 10 P. M. 



A large premium-list has been prepared by the American Rose 

 Society, and it is expected that this will attract exhibitors from 

 all parts of the country, as the society is national in its character, 

 holding its annual sessions in different parts of the country. 

 There is no more popular flower than the rose, and the promised 

 exhibition should attract a large attendance. Classes have been 

 provided for pot roses and for cut blooms, and all the popular 

 roses should be well represented. 



While it will be primarily an exhibition of roses, other exhibits 



have been provided for. The Horticultural Society of New York 



has prepared a schedule of prizes, covering classes of plants other 



than roses. To furnish an attractive setting for the display of 



roses, it has been decided to devote this premium-list largely to 



^1^ decorative foliage plants, such as bay trees, large palms, ferns 



5^ and other stove and greenhouse plants. Flowering plants have 



'T not been neglected, however, as prizes are ofifered for orchids, 



Q^ azaleas, cinerarias, cyclamens, heaths, rhododendrons, and other 



::e: similar plants, but for plants only. No prizes are provided for 



^ cut blooms, this field being left entirely to the rose, as it is pri- 



~ marily a rose exhibition.
