Editorial. 
- October is the month of glory in the 
botanical world of Australia. City, 
suburbs, and country vie with each other in 
beautifying the earth, and the growers of 
flowers are all as busy as bees in collecting 
their precious beauties to show. Every 
little hamlet, town, and city has one or 
more exhibitions of flowers during this 
month, and however fickle the weather 
may be, it adds but more zest to the com- 
petition of specialists and lovers of the 
beautiful in Nature. 
The Rose, the Queen of Flowers, holds 
high court during this month, and we have 
_ much pleasure in presenting to our readers 
- some record of the proceedings of the 
Queen from the time of preparation for 
the court ceremony up to the time of the 
great functions themselves... 
The articles and illustrations of our 
Rose Number are prepared. by specialists. 
The artists engaged in this production are 
to be congratulated upon the excellence of 
. their work, and we venture the opinion 
that nothing better has ever been put be- 
fore the public of Australia. 
We have to express regret that owing 
to the demand upon our space for this 
special number, we are obliged to omit a 
quantity of interesting matter sent in, and 
already put into type for publication.
