cial report of the secretary showed that 

 the condition of the treasury was quite 

 satisfactory. It was decided to omit 

 the floral contest for amateurs thi^ year 

 and the committee, of which J, G. 

 Bacher was chairman, was relieved 

 from further duty. 



Henry Clemens, the sweet pea spe- 

 cialist, of Newberg, gave an interest- 

 ing talk on the origin and production of 

 the nine varieties of sweet peas which 

 he exhibited. He showed some excel- 

 lent specimens of eight varieties of or- 

 chid-flowering and one of the grandi- 

 flora type. He has a range of green- 

 houses set on a slope, with good ventila- 

 tion and exceptionally free from dis- 

 ease and pests. He is hybridizing and 

 selecting many plants and expects to 

 produce some new colors and improved 

 varieties. He has about twenty acres 

 devoted to the production of sweet pea 

 seed. A. J. Clarke called attention to 

 the fact that Mr. Clemens is the pioneer 

 grower to attempt the production of 

 sweet pea seed on a commercial scale 

 in Oregon. 



Julius Dossche, chairman of the com- 

 mittee on rose festival matters, pre- 

 sented plans of a festival center lo- 

 cated on the two park blocks between 

 Salmon and Madison streets. President 

 Van Kirk explained that these plans 

 were prepared by Mr. Dossche and had 

 been accepted by the rose festival man- 

 agers, who had appointed Mr. Dossche 

 their representative in charge of the 

 festival center, and that it was now 

 up to the Portland growers and retail- 

 ers to act. The plan comprises eight 

 large beds, which will be filled with 

 stock bought by the rose festival man- 

 agers. Sixteen spaces of varying sizes 

 are to be allotted to exhibitors of grow- 

 ing plants, who will be paid at the rate 

 of 7% cents per square foot for sup- 

 plying the exhibits. Sixteen sheltered 

 booths are to be allotted to communi- 

 ties that wish to make displays of roses 

 and plants, for which substantial prizes 

 are offered. The judging is to be done 

 by representatives of the Portland 

 Floral Society and a central area al- 

 lotted to a display to be made under 

 the name of the society. A space ad- 

 joining the floral center will be used 

 as a musical center. The members of 

 the society were greatly pleased with 

 the report of Mr. Dossche and nearly 

 all the exhibit spaces were subscribed 

 for at once. Prom the enthusiasm 

 shown' at the meeting it is evident that 

 every member of the society will do his 

 best to make the floral center a con- 

 spicuous success. 



While refreshments were being 

 served, President Van Kirk announced 

 that the prospects are growing brighter
