The Weekly Florists' Review. 





A Portion of the Exhibition of the American Rose Society, Art Institute, Chicago, March 25-27. 



were brought out. Mr. Elliott empha- 

 sized the fact that the larger the house, 

 the better the quality of the construction 

 must be. The paper by Mr. Maynadier

 tracted affair, for August Poehlmann's 

 modesty caused him to seek every avenue 

 of escape from the honor the society in- 

 sisted upon bestowing upon him. 



Papers Read. 



Papers read during the meeting were 

 as follows: "Roses in Colorado," by 

 J. A. Valentine, Denver; "Soils," by
