October  2(\  1898. 
The  National  Rose  Society’s  Metropolitan  Show  was  held  at  the 
Crystal  Palace  this  year  on  July  2nd,  which  is  the  earliest  date  but 
one  possible,  the  fixture  being  always  the  first  Saturday  in  that 
month.  The  weather  for  some  weeks  previous  to  the  exhibition  had 
been  cold  and  dry,  and  the  plants  in  consequence  were  in  most 
districts  suffering  from  one  of  the  worst  and  most  persistent  attacks 
of  green  fly  known  for  many  years.  But  adverse  as  were  the  atmo¬ 
spheric  conditions  before  the  show,  the  show  day  itself  was  all  that
