The Cut Soses. 



Probably the point of greatest trade 

 interest is the showing of roses, al- 

 though these were not staged until the 

 third day, Monday, March 23. The 

 showing 18 a brilliant one, better roses 

 never having been seen. Interest of 

 course centered in the novelties. Had- 

 ley and Killarney Brilliant, the present 

 season's debutantes, were staged in 

 such shape as to confirm the good 

 opinion formed of them by the large 

 number of growers who have invested 

 heavily in young stock, .p^adley won 

 the gold medal. Other fiovelties did 

 not show strongly. S. J. Eeuter & Son 

 has Lady Ann Borrodell, and Wm. A. 

 Leonard staged Lansdowne, but the 

 judges did not consider the latter suf- 

 ficiently distinct from Double Pink 



Killarney to give it an award as a 

 novelty. 



The now Waban rose Mrs. Moorfield 

 Storey, illustrated in The Eeview for 

 March 19, was a matter of much in- 

 terest as promising a new type of soft 

 pink forcing rose. It was not entered 

 for competition. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., Cromwell, Conn., 

 went in heavily in the rose classes, 

 making a splendid showing. F. E. 

 Pierson Co., Tarrytown, also was a 

 strong competitor. The Killarney 

 Queens of these e:$hibitors are some- 

 thing quite out of the ordinary, right 

 up to Beauties in size and quality. 

 Several exhibitors have Mrs. Bussell 

 in excellent shape. The rose exhibit 

 from the greatest distance is that of 

 J. H. Dunlop, of Toronto, who entered 

 several competitive classes and also 

 showed other roses not for competition. 

 Philadelphia was right in the running. 



The rose section is under the man- 

 agement of the American Rose Society. 

 The judges were Joseph Heacock, F. H. 

 Traendly, Leo Niessen, W. J. Palmer, 

 George Burton and Philip Breitmeyer.
