This work conscientiously done would add materially to the general utility of the American Rose Society, increasing as the years rolled by. After the lapse of a year the issue of the "bulletin" of the society has been resumed, and a very exhaustive treatise on the diseases of the rose is in the hands of the members.

The appointments are in the hands of your executive committee, and the body elected to-day should take action.
