AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



The executive committee of the 

 American Eose {Society held a special 

 session in Horticultural hall, Philadel- 

 phia, November 22. There was an at- 

 tendance of twenty-three persons, rep- 

 resenting the Florists' Club of Philadel- 

 phia and the Pennsylvania Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



A full discussion took place relative 

 to the best place for the spring exhibi- 

 tion of 1917. The discussion was finally 

 brought to a head by a motion by 

 Joseph Heacock, recommending holding 

 the meeting and exhibition in the First 

 Regiment armory, March 20 to 23, 1917. 

 The motion was unanimously carried. 

 It was moved that a committee be ap- 

 pointed to engage the armory, with 

 George Burton as chairman. 



The matter of a manager for the ex- 

 hibition was gone over with care and 

 it was moved that the secretary cast 

 one vote for Adolph Farenwald as man- 

 ager. It was further moved that a local 

 secretary be appointed and Fred Cow- 

 perthwaite was designated for that 

 position. A committee on the exhibits 

 of private gardeners was appointed, 

 with William Kleinheinz, Ogontz, as 

 chairman. As a committee on commer- 

 cial exhibits the following were des- 

 ignated: George Burton, Chestnut 

 Hill, Pa.; Wallace R. Pierson, Cromwell, 

 Conn.; George Asmus, Chicago; E. Allan 

 Peirce, Waltham, Mass.; T. P. Lang- 

 hans, Pittsburgh; Frank A. Friedley,

Lincoln, 111. — Gullett & Sons say their 

 first carload of azaleas arrived in fine 

 condition, but that many cases in the 

 second car, which arrived two days 

 later, were badly frozen. They have 

 similar reports from other importers. 



MUwaukee, Wis.— C. C. Pollworth 

 has returned from his annual trip into 

 the Wisconsin woods. He reports an 

 unusual quantity of snow early in the 

 season, which seriously curtailed the 

 picking of bouquet green, with the re- 

 sult that this commodity is extremely 

 scarce in some sections of the state.
