The Clackamas County Rose and Carnation Society held a meeting In the county court room of the court bouse on Saturday afternoon, but the date of the rose show was not set, owing to the weather and condition of the roses, as the latter are not far enough advanced to set the exact date. A meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. G. A. Harding Thursday ev ening when the date for same will be set. With a few days of sunshine the roses will be plentiful. At the Saturday afternoon meeting R. S. Coe, of Canby, was present, and talked in the Interest of the Society, and Bald that the strawberry growers of Canby had held a meeting that week and had decided to exhibit their strawberries at the coming rose shoft, and that on the last day the berries would be turned over to the Bociety to be sold. The Canby strawberries are always of excellent flavor. It Is presumed that growers of other parts of the countv will also unite with the growers of Canby and also exhibit ber ries. There were many fine berries on exhibition at the rose show of last year, and carried off several of the best premiums. The date set for the Clackamas County rose show will probably be set for the second week in June after the Portland Rose fete, as many from this city are planning, to visit that city at that time. Many members are being taken Into the organization of this city, as mem bers are not charged to make entries, but those who are not members and who wish to make entries must pay the entry fee of 25 cents. The mem bership fee of the society Is only the nominal sum of 25 cents. There are many more premiums of fered to the exhibitors this year than last year, and the merchants and busi ness men of Oregon City are taking an active Interest, and have donated handsome prizes, many of which are on exhibition la the Harding drug store window, and before the rose show is given all will be on exhibi tion, where the public can view them. The hall where the rose show la to take place will be elaborately decor ated with evergreens making a back ground for the floral exhibits. A musical and literary program is being planned by the entertainment committee, which will be given on the opening night. The premlpm list Is In the hands of the printers, and will be published in the next week's Issue of the county papers. The Cauby Strawberry Growers As sociation hold a very interesting meet ing at the Riverside school house near Canby last Thursday afternoon.
