Amkkican' :— One hardly envies the special com- mittee on the regulation of premium of- fers, evidently hurriedly arranged for at the recent meeting o£ the American Rose Society at Buffalo, its task in framing a recommendation on the im- portant (luestion assigned to it. For though no one could find the least fault with the vecommcudatiou. as published in the American Florist in the issue of March 20, yet, even the experienced members of this committee must have felt that their finding, to some extent, goes around the point at issue rather than settles it. When a lover of a cer- tain class of roses takes sufficient in- terest to offer good premiums for ex- hibits of his or her favorites and there is no competition worth the name it is small satisfaction to know that the money is used for other purposes, wortliy though these may be, and few will think to n^ake it, a clause that the money be returned or held for future shows. Yet there seems no good reason why it should not be held for the same pur- pose another season. The Breitmeyer- Boddington prize was more or less a surprise to growers last season, but when these gentlemen allowed their of- fer to stand good for another season and growers had a whole year to pre- pare for it, well it certainly must have been a keen disappointment to them to find again no competitors
