kind word for the Rochester boys. Leo 

 Niessen thought it was a igood conven- 

 tion, adding that the New York com- 

 mission men assured him they are going 

 to combine in opening a wholesale house 

 in Philadelphia, where they will dump 

 their cheap stuff. Mr. Niessen said he 

 assured them they would be welcome. 



B. Eschner thought the convention 

 the best the society has had; he was 

 pleased with the business done. Fred 

 J. Michell wore one of his happy smiles 

 when he talked of Rochester. Edward 

 Reid enjoyed himself immensely, recall- 

 ing many incidents with pleasure. His 

 friend, E. L. Tanner, of Richmond, Va., 

 JSFM .delighted with his first convention. 

 Sydney, Bayersdorfer had a fine time 

 and did a lot of business. "My grip 



was heavy with orders." When Phil 

 smiled he added: "Indeed, I am not 

 joking." So you see these instances 

 show how everybody felt. It is only 

 necessary to add that Wm. Robertson 

 has something to show you. 



A Foreign Bose Letter. 



The following extract from a letter 

 written by a Philadelphian, now in 

 Switzerland, may be of interest to 

 rosarians, especially as several of the 

 varieties named are well known here: 



"When in London we went to see 

 the rofie, shpw.. J^t was just as won- 

 derful as before, t was only able to 

 visit one tent, my strength being ex- 

 hausted. After putting me in a han- 

 som, G. returned and spent several

hours looking at the roses. He found 

 one tent full of new seedling roses that 

 were most beautiful and interesting. 

 Two yellow ones he particularly ad- 

 mired, and he is now corresponding 

 with two rose growers, one in England 

 and the other in Lyons, France, from 

 whom he hopes to procure some of these 

 new kinds. 



"Among those that I saw was a 

 very dark, rich colored red rose called 

 Victor Hugo. Another, named Joseph 

 Hill, was salmon pink, shaded yellow; 

 it was extra large, and handsome both 

 in color and form. Two others that 

 I thought remarkably beautiful were 

 Le Progres and the Lyon rose — the for- 

 mer a golden yellow, the latter shaded 

 salmon and red. 



"There was another flower show, at 

 Holland House, where the private gat- 

 den was on this day thrown open to 

 the pubUft. There was a wide walk 

 down the middle of the garden, and 

 on either side a bed about 300 feet 



■ long, six bushes in breadth, of Caroline 

 Testout roses in full bloom — a mag- 

 nificent sight. fTiri
