American Rose Society Convention. 
The third annual convention of the Ameri¬ 
can Rose Society was held in the American 
Institute rooms. Berkeley Lyceum, New 
York, March 11-13. Some instructive papers 
were read and an agreeable innovation in¬ 
troduced in the way of songs and recita¬ 
tions concerning roses by pupils of nearby 
opera and dramatic schools. There was a 
splendid exhibit of blooms, giving a much 
finer color effect, owing to better light, 
(han when held in the Waldorf-Astoria 
Motel last year, though the quantity shown 
this season was less. The best roses in 
build and finish were the old standards, 
Bride, creamy white, and Bridesmaid, deep 
pink, with American Beauty and Its for¬ 
midable competitor. Liberty, coming a close 
second. Liberty, owing to Its brilliant 
crimson color. Is very effective when well 
done in exhibition form as shown here, but 
it is difficult and uncertain to handle ex¬ 
cept in the best equipped establishments, 
and the blooms quickly lost perfection. 
The fine specimens shown, with their rich 
color and high perfume, attracted much 
attention. Some American Beauties with 
stems more than six feet high, entered for 
a special prize, were very effective despite 
their evident coarseness. 
Much prominence was given to new can¬ 
didates for public favor. A great display 
was made of Miss Alice Roosevelt, shown 
by a Washington grower. The color is an 
odd and rather glaring shade of bright pink 
almost approaching scarlet in intensity. It 
has the unpleasing effect of some Azaleas, 
and fails to harmonize with nearby colors. 
They were shown with short stems. The 
new Balduin, shown as Helen Gould, was 
of a chilly purple tint. Other new ones, 
such as Queen of Edgely, a light colored 
American Beauty. Sarah Nesbitt, tinted 
like an apple blossom. Mrs. Theodore 
Roosevelt, white and blush, attracted at¬ 
tention and their merits were much dis¬ 
cussed. Golden Gate and Papa Gontier, 
both rather old varieties, were shown In 
splendid form. There were also many fine 
Crimson Ramblers, and some fairly good 
forced hardy roses in pots. More good yel¬ 
low roses were Drought out than have been 
seen in previous exhibitions. The varieties 
were Perle des Jardins, Sunset, Sunrise, 
Mme. Hoste and the climbing Gold of 
Ophir. Yellow roses have not been popular 
lately. Even the superb Perle des Jardins 
and Marechal Nicl have been little in de¬ 
mand, but their revival in favor may now 
be near at hand. A variety of other 
flowers such as Primulas, violets, Azaleas 
and many tine orchids were snown. One 
of the most striking novelties was a collec¬ 
tion of blooms of a superior strain of Tri- 
tonia crocata, a bulbous plant from South 
Africa, shown by J. L. Childs, Floral Park, 
N. Y. The flowers were large, brilliant 
orange red, on long stems.
