Cut Roses. 



The cut roses in tiiis exhibition con- 

 stitute the most wonderful showing 

 ever seen in Americii. This part of the 

 X.ational Flower Show is in charge of 

 the American Rose Society and the dis- 

 play is tiie largest in the annals of 

 that organization. There wer(> se\enty- 

 four (dasses for commercial growei's and 

 all but three (lasses tilled, the total 

 number of entries running to ITfi. 



But this rose show is a record for 

 (piality as wtdl as foi- si/.e; the «»qual 

 of these roses never has l»eeii seen. So 

 magnificent is the (juality that, as one 

 exhibitor w.as heard to remark, one was 

 "mighty fortunate to gi^t second in 

 siudi company.'' Surely it was a sur- 

 prise to more than one man who, know- 

 ing the unusu.al merit of his own roses, 

 was unaware of :in (^(pial adwance on 

 the part of his comiK'titors and came to 

 the show expecting to make a killing.
