THE SPRING EXHIBITION 



According to the announcement in the March number of this 

 Journal, the spring exhibition of the Society and its March 

 meeting were held in conjunction with the annual meeting and 

 exhibition of the American Rose Society. 



The exhibition was held at the American Museum of Natural 

 History, in the spacious hall on the ground floor where the Peary 

 exhibit was installed earlier in the year. It was an ideal place 

 for the purpose, with ample light both day and night. Every 

 facility for prompt and effective display was placed by the Mu- 

 seum authorities at the disposition of those who had the exhi- 

 bition in charge. The affair opened promptly, with all exhibits 

 in place, at seven o'clock on the evening of Wednesday, March 

 16. It continued open the two following days, from nine to 

 five and from seven to ten. Much interest was manifested in 

 the exhibition, both by the public and the press. The total 

 attendance was 13,535. 



The exhibition being primarily for roses, that flower of course 

 predominated. While there was not an unusually large number 

 of exhibitors in the rose classes, the quality of the flowers was 

 of the first order, as some of the finest roses ever seen in New 

 York City were on view here. Both potted plants and cut 

 blooms were represented. Such favorites as My Maryland, Kil- 

 larney, White Killarney, American Beauty, Meteor and others 

 were attractively displayed. As shown in the accompanying 

 illustration, the exhibits were arranged, for the most part, on
