AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAI.. 



[The following is the report of Wm. F. Gude. 

 Washington representative of the S. A. F., pre- 

 sented at the San Francisco convention, August 

 17, 1915.] 



The last year has been one of watch- 

 ful waiting rather than strenuous ac- 

 tion in the national capital, so far as 

 the interests of our society are con- 

 cerned. The demands on your represen- 

 tative there have not been excessive, 

 from which I assume that the florists 

 of the country have no fault to find 

 with the laws enacted by Congress dar- 

 ing the year. 



In" the early part of the winter a 

 communication was received by your 

 representative in which objection was 

 raised to the classification of express 

 rates on potted plants and plants not 

 in pots. Another communication was 

 received, relating to bills introduced 

 in the state legislatures providing for 

 the inspection and regulation of steam 

 boilers. Both of these communications 

 were referred to the committee on leg- 

 islation and will, doubtless, be dealt 

 with by that committee in its annual 

 report. 



The most important event of the 

 year, both locally and nationally, was 

 the formal dedication of the rose gar- 

 dens at Arlington Farms, June 2, 

 1915. Some fifty florists came from 

 different cities, as far away as Boston, 

 to be present at the ceremonies. 



A meeting of the American Rose So- 

 ciety was called in the rooms of the 

 American Institute of Banking, on F 

 street, Washington, D. C, where the 

 entire party met, on the date men- 

 tioned, at 1 p. m. After this meet- 

 ing, the party went in automobiles to 

 the Arlington Farms, three miles away, 

 in a downpour of rain. Whil^ the gar- 

 dens were in full bloom and showed 

 up well, the drenching rain storm, 

 which had lasted three days, had a de- 

 pressing effect on the general beauty of 

 the gardens. 



After viewing the gardens, the party 

 returned to the city, where the formal 

 dedication took place. Interesting ad- 

 dresses were made at the dedication 

 by officers of the national governmehl, 

 the president of the rose society and 

 others.
