ored, and a whole lot of other things, 

 all quite tempting. 



The palms and ferns fill a big house, 

 standard varieties in standard sizes, and 

 all showing a clean bill of health. 



Last and most interesting of all is the 

 big King house containing 30,000 car- 

 nations in benches. It is quickly said 

 or written, but did you ever see 30,- 

 000 carnations in one house! Probably 

 some of you have. Even so, you will 

 admit it is not an ordinary sight, and 

 it is. a fine one. The plants have been 

 pinched back with the object of bring- 

 ing them into bloom in December. They 

 are healthy and promise well. Outdoors 

 Strafford possesses some fine evergreens 

 that are most ornamental, and an ex- 

 cellent collection of hardy chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



The Bose Show Here. 



A special meeting of the executive 

 committee of the American Rose So- 

 ciety was held in the Florists' Club's 

 room in Horticultural hall, on the eve- 

 ning of November 8. Nine of the ten 

 members of the committee were pres- 

 ent. The tenth, August F. Poehlmann, 

 wrote a cordial letter to Secretary Ham- 

 mond regretting, his inability to be pres- 

 ent and promising his aid should the 

 plan of holding an independent show be 

 undertaken. About thirty of the lead- 

 ing rose growers of Philadelphia re- 

 sponded to the invitation to meet the 

 committee. 



President Pennock explained that the 

 object of the meeting was to decide 

 whether the Rose Society should under- 

 take a show of its own in Philadelphia 

 next spring. The dates March 20 to 

 23 had been reserved and the Pennsyl- 

 vania Horticultural Society, or rather 

 the council representing the owners, had 

 offered Horticultural hall free of charge 

 for those days, with the understanding 

 that the regular spring show of the 

 P. H. S. might be staged downstairs 

 during the rose show. President Pen- 

 nock had personally undertaken to raise 

 a guarantee fund of $5,000 to assure the 

 financial success of the show. His plan 

 of having fifty subscribers at $100 each 

 had already succeeded, forty-three of 

 the fifty being pledged and the re- 

 maining seven practically assured. With

this encouraging statement, each per- 

 son present was asked to express his 

 views. 



The consensus was that the show 

 should be held as proposed. The feel- 

 ing seems to be that the time has come 

 when the Rose Society should run its 

 own show and by so doing increase its 

 membership and its usefulness. A let- 

 ter was read from Howard B. French, 

 president of the Chamber of Commerce, 

 endorsing the plan.
