SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the South- 

 ampton Horticultural Society was held 

 in Odd Fellows ' hall December 7, Presi- 

 dent U. G. Agar in the chair. The 

 business of having the society incorpo- 

 rated is going ahead slowly. It was 

 decided to have a dinner for members

 was appointed to make the arrange- 

 ments. 



At a special meeting two weeks pre- 

 viously W. Qommersall, of Nyack, N. Y., 

 had a splendid paper on soils and fer- 

 tilizers. He was awarded a standing 

 vote of thanks and on motion it was 

 decided to have 200 copies of the paper 

 printed and distributed to members of 

 the society. W. M.

THE NEW GOLD MEDAL ROSE 



"Mrs. Charles Russell" 



H, This giant forcing rose is an American seedling raised at the 



Waban Rose Conservatorias and has been tested in our 



houses for several years. 

 H, It has proved to be a strong, vigorous grower, and its freedom 



of bloom is remarkable for a rose that is fully as large as an 



American Beauty. 



C Its large, pointed buds, of a clear rose-pink and delightfully 

 sweet fragrance, are the admiration of all who have seen it, 

 either growing in our houses or as exhibited by us at the 

 different shows. 



C^ It has received high honors when exhibited at such centers as 

 Philadelphia, New York and Boston. At the latter place the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society honored it with a Gold 

 Medal, a rare distinction from this conservative society.
