AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



The executive committee of the 

 American Rose Society will hold a meet- 

 ing at the Hotel Martinique, New York, 

 July 24, to prepare a preliminary sched- 

 ule for the coming exhibition in Chi- 

 cago, 1908, 



There are prizes already offered by W. 

 A. Manda, Orange, N. J., and special 

 prizes of $200 and $100 for plants in 

 pots. 



At this meeting a certificate for new 

 varieties will be decided upon, also a 

 certificate for life membership. 



In some of the Hudson river towns 

 the Crimson Ramblers have been used 

 the last few years as piazza plants and 

 the spread of this beautiful flower has, 

 in some places, made a marked impres- 

 sion upon the people, showing the value 

 of the rose as an outdoor decorative 

 plant, which has scarcely been realized. 



President Robert Simpson is planning 

 for a European trip of some extent, to 

 leave this country on the last of the 

 month. Benj. Hammond, Sec'y. 



Passaic, N. J. — Hansen & Lundsted 

 are building an additional greenhouse, 

 40x150 feet. This will bring their glass 

 area up to 20,000 square feet. The John 

 C. Moninger Co. is furnishing the ma- 

 terial.

PHILADBLPHIA. 



The Risins; Eastern Market. 



It is a very young child indeed who 

 does not know what the initials "B. P. 

 O. " surmounting an antlered head may 

 mean. ^ And if he should not know, he 

 or she has only to gaze at the top of 

 the North American building, where a 

 real live elk may be seen majestically 

 stalking. The colors of his kind are 

 purple and white, and the demand, 

 which has quickened a trifle, bears evi- 

 dence of the popularity of these colors. 

 Asters have made their appearance. 

 Spanish iris and Lilium Harrisii further 

 help to carry out effects in this color 

 combination. It is July, however, and 

 the quantity of bunting used is to the 

 quantity of flowers as 999 is to 1. 



A few choice Beauties and Maids 

 from cooler climes may be seen in the 

 wholesale market; also some fine Kaiser- 

 ins. There are a few carnations of ex- 

 cellent quality; Lady Bountiful and 

 Queen appear to be the best whites. 

 Mrs. Lawson and some scarlets are in 

 good shape, while Mrs. Joost is the best 

 pink. Enchantress is rather poor. Sweet 

 peas are fine and plentiful. Cosmos has 

 made its appearance. Candytuft is ex- 

 cellent. Indications point to increased 

 shipments of asters. 



Greens are not in demand. Dagger 

 ferns and galax leaves have been good 

 stock. 



I may supplement this report by add- 

 ing that Killarney and Chatenay, espe- 

 cially the former, are proving good 

 warm weather roses. 



The Riverton Nurseries. 



The entrance to the Dreer place at 

 Riverton is fianked on either side by 

 handsome bay trees in tubs, standing 

 behind immense specimen hydrangeas 

 covered with pale blue flowers of 

 good size. These hydrangeas have 

 a rather curious history. They were 

 placed in the frames last fall and 

 when cold weather set in were covered 

 with a miscellaneous lot of trash, some 

 with clear glass, some shaded. The 

 plants under the shaded glass were bad- 

 ly frozen, losing their points containing 

 the flower buds. They were then re- 

 moved, about the end of the year, to a 

 cool house, and kept there throughout 

 the winter. The plants grew, throw- 

 ing up strong canes from the base, and, 

 contrary to expectations, these canes all 

 flowered this spring, the plants coming 

 in full bloom rather late, just when 

 needed for the seashore orders. Curi- 

 ously enough, the entire batch of some 

 1,500 or 1,600 came blue, with the ex-
