Club Meeting;. 



The club 's rose night was very wet. 

 liess than fifty members were present, 

 but the exhibits and the enthusiasm 

 were abundant. In the absence of 

 President Scott the vice-president occu- 

 pied the chair. Five new members were 

 elected. 



The trustees Avere authorized to nego- 

 tiate with the S. A. F. with a view to 

 holding a national flower show in New 

 Vork in the spring of 1907. A long 

 iliscussion as to competition for cash 

 j)rizes at the meetings of the club wa.s 

 without result. 



The death of August Khotert was an- 

 nounced and a committee, Messrs. Beau- 

 lieu, Hallock and Wheeler, was appointed 

 to draw up suitable resolutions. Similar

 families of club members. 



The event of the evening was the pa- 

 j)er of Ben.]. Dorrauce, published in full 

 elsewhere in this issue. 



Eobt. Simpson, president of the Rose 

 Society, gave an interesting address con- 



cerning the Boston rose exhibition, which 

 he termed the best rose show ever given

 president, said that while the , recent 

 show was the most wonderful ever seen 

 in America, with the joint efforts of the 

 S. A. F., tlie Rose Society, and the New 

 York Club, he did not believe Europe 

 could equal the results that would be 

 accomplished. Messrs. Wheeler, Birnie, 

 Traendly, Sheridan and O'Mara dis- 

 cussed various phases of the subject.
