For it must be acknowl- edged that the Bed Cross tea garden and other activities of the society ladies contributed materially to the large gate receipts. But for the artistic quality and high standard of the exhibits, credit goes unreservedly to the growers and retail- ers who furnished the entries and decor- ations. There were, of course, some things lacking; perhaps it is as well to state them and get them over with. Thomas Roland's acacias and W. A. Manda's specimens, for instance, were conspicuous by their absence. The small showing, too, of the New York retailers was a subject of remark, only G. E. M. Stumpp and Max Schling making dis- plays.

These rose gardens were all the week the center of interest for a large and admiring crowd. F. R. Pierson's exhibit consisted largely of roses of the ram- bler type, which were arranged in a series of twelve beds, with gravel walks separating the beds. A. N. Pierson 's exhibit was staged in a more open manner, on the lines of an old-fashioned garden, with a rustic fence surrounding it. It looked most realistic, with stone walks and a rustic summer house in the corner, covered with climbing roses. A. N. Pierson was placed first in this exhibit, but it must be stated that both exhibits were won- derfully
