was transacted. The absentees were 

 few; the names of nearly all the mem- 

 bers of the board will be found under 

 the list of those present at the Indian- 

 apolis show. An early session was held 

 in the morning, when officers' reports 

 were heard, and another on the evening 

 of the same day, when routine matters 

 were discussed. 



ROSE SOCIETY MEETINQ. 



Too many specimens of the rosarians' 

 skill were to be looked at on the floor 

 below to admit of a large attendance 

 at the annual meeting of the American 

 Eose Society in the Manufacturers' 

 building at Indianapolis. The few there 

 listened to the officers' reports, dis- 

 cussed some important matters and ad- 

 journed to a subsequent annual meeting 

 to be called by the executive board 

 later in the year. 



It was voted to elect as honorary 

 life member Dr. Eobert Huey, M. Per- 

 net-Ducher, Courtney Page, secretary of 

 the British Rose Society; Charles Siret, 

 secretary of the French Society of Ro- 

 sarians, and Mrs. Aaron Ward. 



A memorial medal to perpetuate the 

 memory of Dr. Van Fleet was discussed 

 and the project referred to the execu- 

 tive board. 



The members are to be polled as to 

 the time of holding the deferred Port- 

 land rose pilgrimage. 



possible had we not had the loyal and 

 unselfish support of so many growers, 

 trade exhibitors and the Cleveland and 

 Indianapolis florists, who realized that 

 to make the show a success they must 

 exert every effort to exhibit, and that 

 is what they did and most splendidly 

 they came across, giving us the finest 

 show ever staged as the national flower 

 show. 



On behalf of the national flower show 



management, I want to express through 



the trade press the warmest thanks and 



appreciation for this splendid backing.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION.

CARRYING OVER CYCLAMENS. 



We have about 500 5-inch cyclamen 

 plants which we should like to hold over 

 for next season. It has been suggested 

 in the columns of The Review that, 

 since one should be able to grow good 

 plants for next year from seed, it is 

 just as well to throw these plants away. 

 We understand this to mean that where 

 there are only a few plants it is best 

 to throw them away, but in our case we 

 have 500 of them. E, J. W.— N. D. 



Since you want to carry over your 

 cyclamen plants for another season, you 

 should give them a little attention right 

 along. Reduce the water supply as the 

 flowering season ends, but do not at any 

 time keep them dust-dry. Do not stand 

 them below a bench or lay them on their 

 sides, but keep them on a bench or on 

 shelves. A little later you can, if you 

 wish, stand them in a coldframe on a 

 surface of sand and coal ashes. Shake 

 out and reset the plants early in July. 

 Remove practically all of the soil and 

 replace in 4-inch in lieu of 5-inch pots; 

 then stand them in a frame or on a 

 greenhouse bench and water only mod- 

 erately, but spray occasionally until the 

 plants become established. Some shad- 

 ing from the direct rays of the sun will 

 be necessary, but this shading need not 

 be heavy, and if it can be made mov- 

 able, all the better. C. W.
