U) From the National Rose Society: 



TO THE PRESIDENT AND COUNCIL OF THE ROYAL 

 HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



In the name and on behalf of the National Rose 

 Society — one of the oldest of the special Horticultural 

 Societies in the kingdom — we desire to give expression to 

 the congratulations and hopes which all the horticulturists 

 and Horticultural Societies of this country are feeling at 

 this most auspicious celebration of the Centenary of the 

 Royal Horticultural Society* 



We venture to express the belief that to-day marks the 

 beginning of a new era of even yet more distinguished 

 success in the history of the old Society, from which — 

 we take this opportunity of publicly stating — the National 

 Rose Society has, at all times and in all possible ways, 

 received the most generous and ungrudging assistance and 

 support* 



Signed on behalf of the National Rose Society, 

 S. REYNOLDS HOLE, D.D.,

Dean of Rochester,
