In June, after considerable correspondence and searching of 
records, we were able to supply a large corporation with informa-

Young, Secretary of the Society of American Florists, we learned 
that the variety was named after Col. S. A. Nutt by Mr. John 
Thorpe (now deceased), of Pearl River, New York. 
In September, plans and enlarged photographs of our Rose 
Garden were sent by request for exhibit at the First National 
Atlantic City Flower and Garden Pageant. At this time (Sep-
