== DREER’S 
ROSE GARDEN 
NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 
Philadelphia, March 25th to Apmil 2d, 1916 
HE National Flower Show held in Philadelphia last Spring is conceded to have been the greatest Flower 
Show ever held in America, there were many superb and unusual displays of Decorative and Flowering 
Plants, Cut Flowers, etc., but DREER’S ROSE GARDEN which covered an area of 1700 square feet 
was unanimously admitted to be the one greatest and outstanding feature of the great show. 
Although not entered for competiton it received the unusual distinction of being awarded TWO GOLD 
MEDALS, one by the American Rose Society, the other by the Society of American Florists and Orna- 
mental Horticulturists. 
The judges of the American Rose Society in making their award accompanied same with a special re- 
port as follows: 
“In awarding the Gold Medal for the 
Exhibt of Roses by Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 
the Judges feel that a special word of 
commendation should accompany the award. 
Never before at any Flower Show in 
the United States has such a result been 
achieved. The patience and interest re- 
quired to accomplish this result is worthy 
of our sincerest appreciation. The exhibit 
as arranged deserves the approval of the 
most artistic and will surely be a factor in 
making the Philadelphia Show a success.”
