ROSE DAY. 



Amply Celebrated. 



Monday, March 27, was celebrated at 

 the Indianapolis show both as Chicago 

 day and rose day. The interest in the 

 trade's most staple flower was, of 

 course, great and it waxed greater at 

 the sight of the blooms put in competi- 

 tion. There were disappointments: 

 The roses from A. N. Pierson, Inc., 

 Cromwell, Conn., failed to arrive on 

 Monday at all; it was the more lamenta- 

 ble because the stock had been late for 

 the New York show and was expected 

 to be at its finest for Indianapolis. The 

 blooms of the Florex Gardens Co., 

 North Wales, Pa., and of John Andre, 

 Doylestown, Pa., did not arrive until 

 the judging was nearly completed. This 

 was a disappointment not only to those 

 who sent the roses, but also to other 

 rose growers, who wished to see these 

 products of the east in competition with 

 those of the west. There was, however, 

 enough rejiresentation from the Atlan- 

 tic coast states to give those who so 

 desired a chance to compare the output 

 of the growers in the two parts of the 

 country, and those who saw the roses 

 from the Joseph Ileacock Co., Myers & 

 Samtman, .John Welsh Young, F. R. 

 Pierson and the Bedford Floral Co. were 

 willing to give the growers of that part 

 of the country due credit for their show- 

 ing. 



The first prizes for vases of 100 went 

 to different exhibitors with one excep- 

 tion — the Joseph H. Hill Co. took first 

 for both Columbia and Mme. Butterfly. 

 The Russell from Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 Iladley from the .Joseph Heacock Co., 

 and Francis Scott Key from F. R. Pier- 

 son were superb. Nor could any less 

 adjective be used to describe the v.irie- 

 ties of Hill originations which the two 

 firms from Richmond of this name dis- 

 played. Double White Killarney 

 showed up wherever a white was to be 

 displayed, and its preeminence was not 



contested. Excellent stock of this va- 

 riety came from the Bedford Floral Co., 

 Bedford Hills, N. Y., the Joseph H. Hill 

 Co. and John H. Dunlop & Son. Gude 

 Bros. Co. took the prize on its specialty, 

 American Beauty, which showed how 

 well this one-time leader could still be 

 grown. The Ophelia of the Joseph Hea- 

 cock Co. and John Welsh Young made 

 one visitor remark that if we could all 

 do as well with that variety we 

 shouldn't need Butterfly so much as we 

 do. Hoosier Beauty was shown at its 

 finest by Anders Rasmussen, New Al- 

 bany, Ind. 



New Varieties. 



Several new varieties were presented 

 for inspection. Hill's America aroused 

 no little interest, and its already es- 

 tablished repute as a remarkable rose 

 was augmented. The silver medal of 

 the American Rose Society was awarded 

 it. The same honor went also to Celes- 

 tial, from Myers & Samtman. Celestial 

 is a light pink with full petalage, which 

 gives the impression that it has Premier 

 blood. The latter variety took the 

 Michell gold medal for twelve blooms 

 of any rose not disseminated, while 

 Hill's America took the silver medal. 



Seedling No. 9199 from the Montgom- 

 ery Co., Hadley, Mass., was scrutinized 

 by those who watch for the best in 

 novelties. It has a large, full bloom and 

 is deep pink in color, like Premier at 

 its darkest. 



Two roses were shown by the Stuppy 

 Floral Co., St. Joseph, Mo. One was a 

 Portland origination and the other the 

 firm 's own sport of Columbia, which cre- 

 ated some favorable comment. 



A vase of American Legion from 

 Myers & Samtman, which was placed in 

 the exhibition hall on the opening day 

 of the show, drew the notice of florists 

 on rose day. This origination of Ed- 

 ward Towill appears to be gaining favor 

 in the east. 



The Awards. 



The awards in the cut rose classes 

 Mondav were as follows:
