Gold Medal 
Award 
New Rose 
Sweet Peas 
the Birch was the most exquisite accomplishment in the whole 
exhibition. 
The Gold Medal of the Garden Club of America had been 
offered for the exhibit which "through beauty of arrangement, 
color harmony and practical suggestion best promoted the 
advancement of gardening in America." It was won by Julius 
Roehrs, Rutherford, New Jersey, for his Rock-garden of hardy 
plants. 
Mr. Charles N. Totty had a surprise for us in the magnificent 
blossoms of the new canary-colored hybrid Tea Rose, Souvenir 
de Claudius Pernet. They say it develops as well in the garden 
as under glass. It is a pure light yellow, quite different from 
any other Rose, and is named after Monsieur Pernet 's son, who 
gave his life for his country. 
Burpee's Sweet Pea exhibit. Stumpp and Walter's Bulb 
exhibit, (especially the Clusiana Tulip.) Bobbink and Atkins 
and A. N. Pierson's Rose exhibits were constantly surrounded 
by Garden Club of America members taking advice and giving 
orders. Henry Dreer exhibited the little Kurume Azalea, — pink, 
pearl, peach and apple-blossom — of which we have heard so 
much. They are booking orders for fall delivery for conserva- 
tories. These Azaleas are only hardy outside .as far north as 
Baltimore. 
The Show was too vast to describe fully and naturally our 
interest centered on the exhibits of the Garden Club of 
America on the second floor.
