Among major decisions to

Along Seventh avenue, you
see, the buyers rule. By their

Orders "Rule"
They rule with the order

ton Floux, first vice presi
dent; Ranald Axtell, second
vice president; Mrs. Elton
W a 1 d r o n, secretary; Mrs.

laws was presented by the
executive committee to per
mit the installation of the
new officers at the final
meeting of, 1962 to allow the
officers to begin their duties
at the first of the year. Plans
were discussed to have a
joint installation meeting
with the Rogue Valley Rose
society of Grants Pass as has
been done in the past.
Many plans were discussed
for making the programs in
teresting and informative.
Following t h e business
meeting a discussion was held
on some of the points to be
considered in exhibiting
roses. It was brought out that
in exhibiting a bloom cycle
one should be a bud. the mid
dle one should be the bloom
at its highest degree of perfee
tion, and the third a full
blown rose. To obtain a
healed over stem, disbudding
should be done when the bud
is very small. In a vase of six
buds, the blooms should be
not more than one-half open.
A regular meeting will be
held in November in order to
vote on the installation
amendment. Dr. Earl Benbow
will talk on "Making Rose
Trees ". He has made many
of these and will contribute
one for a prize. The joint
meeting with Grants Pass will
be in addition to this meeting.
