AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



There was a meeting of the executive 

 committee at the office of Traendly & 

 Schonok. Now York, last week, with 

 President Adolph Farenwald. of Ros- 

 lyn, Pa., in the chair. The particular 

 matter in question was the settlement 

 of the payment of prizes awarded at 

 the National Flower Show in Boston. 

 There had been a variance of opinion 

 in regard to the construction of the 

 resolution passed at Rochester, N. Y., 

 relative to the amount of money that 

 was to be paid to the National Flower 

 Show committee, and until this had 

 been settled the prizes were held in 

 abeyance. Vice-President Philip Breit- 

 meyer advised: "I am in favor of a 

 settlement, rather than have any ill- 

 feeling, especially with the lot of men 

 who have worked so hard to make the 

 recent show a success. I would say 

 l)ay up and forget. Let us go ahead 

 with unity and kindliness and do all 

 the better in the future." The members 

 of the executive committee who were 

 unable to attend sent proxies and the 

 sense of all was the same as was so 

 admirably expressed by Mr. Breit- 

 meyer. 



A formal motion was put and car- 

 ried, as follows: "That the treasurer '
