excellent Winter vegetables. Varieties offered

American Rose Society at Washington 
TT WAS a great gathering of rosarians at 
the Arlington Testing Gardens on June 4th. 
The judges noted the following Roses as 
worthy of special mention: 
Teas and Hybrid Teas: Laurent Carle, 
Gruss an Teplitz, Lieutenant Chaure, Mary 
Countess of Ilchester, Mme. Paul Euler, 
Dorothy Page Roberts, Mme. Jules Graver- 
eaux, Lady LTsula, La Tosca, Mrs. Wake- 
field Christie-Miller, Lady Ashtown, Gustave 
Grunenvald, Countess of Gosford, Koenigin 
Carola. 
Dwarf Polyantha: Katherine Zeimet, Baby 
Tausendschoen, Ellen Poulsen, Mrs. Wm. H. 
Cutbush, Baby Dorothy, TriompheOrleanaise. 
Climbers: Countess M. H. Choteck and 
Bess Lovett. 
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Carl 
Vrooman, spoke earnestly on the general out- 
look, and while impressing upon his hearers 
the solemnity of the national crisis he urged 
at the same time that the task be approached 
on a sane and not hysterical basis. 
“Nothing will go on the same as usual. I 
do not object to an occasional flower garden 
being plowed up for the sociological effect of 
it. Roses and flowers are something we need, 
that we must have; they are a part of our war 
programme as well as our peace programme. 
But even more than these things must we 
have the fundamental essentials of living. 
As much as I love Rosts, if it were for me to 
choose between Roses and bread I believe 
I would take the latter, and so would you, 
but that time has not come, and I hope it 
never will.” 
Peony Society at Philadelphia 
TT'HE meeting and exhibition on June 13th 
and 14th met local conditions favorably 
and there was a first-class display of blooms. 
In particular, the following were of superlative 
quality: Jubilee (Pleas), Walter Faxon 
(Richardson), Martha Bulloch (Brand), and 
the European La Cygne. 
The visitors were enabled to see a splendid 
bloom of the yellow Hybrid Tree Peony La 
Lorraine, from Mr. Farr, which is a butter- 
yellow with maroon-red base to each petal.
