in  question,  still  remain  of  service  in  tracing  the  previous  performances 
of  the  different  varieties  during  the  full  period  for  which  I  have 
complete  records — viz.,  since  1886. 
The  annual  Exhibition  held  by  the  National  Rose  Society  at  the 
Crystal  Palace  was  held  this  year  on  July  1st,  which  is  the  earliest 
date  possible  under  the  existing  arrangement  of  holding  this  Show  on 
HYBRID  PERPETUALS 
the  first  Saturday  in  July.  This  early  fixture,  'together  with  the- 
lateness  of  the  season,  undoubtedly  affected  the  extent  of  the  Exhibi¬ 
tion,  which  was  one  of  the  smallest  the  Society  has  held  in  recent 
years.  It,  moreover,  favoured  to  a  greater  extent  than  usual  the 
more  forward  districts,  as  well  as  the  early  flowering  Roses. 
Mrs.  John  Laing  still  retains  the  premier  place  in  the  list  of  Hybrid 
AND  HYBRID  TEAS.
