p. 84: The list of new plants registered at the secretary's office up to date is as follows:.....November 10, by John H. Taylor, rose Admiral Dewey......
The names Miss Clara Barton and Admiral Dewey as applied to roses, were given each to the productions of two different firms and it is a pleasure to report that in each case deference was given to the parties having registered the name with the Society of American Florists and their right to the exclusive use of the title in question honorably acknowledged by the claimants who had failed to register.

p. 92:  The establishment [of John H. Taylor] now consists ot 75,000 feet of glass under which are cut some of the finest roses which reach the New York market. Here originated the Admiral Dewey rose introduced this year.

Admiral Dewey is also of a very beautiful shade and it is large, but fickle fashion and the retail florists are responsible for the future of any flower, no matter what its qualities may be.

Story of a Rose-The So-called Dewey is Really the Dean Hole.
Rosarians are greatly disturbed because of the interference of florists with the names of Roses. Considerable indignation is expressed at the way in which the Dean Hole Rose has been placed upon the market as the Admiral Dewey Rose. In 1894, when Dean Hole, of Rochester, England, visited this country, the Rose Caroline Testout produced a distinct sport and this sport was christened at a banquet given to Dean Hole by the most eminent floriculturists of the United States in honor of the guest. This Rose was again christened in Madison Square the year following, and the owner, Mr. Taylor, was awarded a certificate. At several subsequent floricultural high functions the name was indorsed.
After Admiral Dewey's great victory, however, a New York Rose dealer, who had become possessed of the Dean Hole, sold the cut flowers as Admiral Dewey Roses. The Rose growers, who have hitherto been the final court of appeal in regard to the names of Roses, are not disposed to concede this privilege; and it is only the great glory and honor of Dewey's name that keeps them from legally testing the question of nomenclature in this particular case. It may be that Admiral Dewey may have to defend his Rose with his sword.
Dean Hole is a clergyman of the Church of England, and has mildly remarked that his Rose seems to be a "sport" of circumstances.-Exchange.
[It is a deplorable fact that honorable Rosarians would attempt to inveigle the flower-loving public into buying an old Rose for a supposed new one. Many times such grievous mistakes are made by parties who know little or nothing of the Rose-growing business and its requirements. But an honorable and well-informed Rosarian will not indulge in such deception, nor would such work be allowed to continue. The publishers of SUCCESS WITH FLOWERS take no little pride in announcing that they have recently introduced a grand new Rose, which they have named Victory, a beautiful colored plate of which will be found in their handsome Rose Guide for 1899. Inasmuch as this new Rose is an improved General Jacqueminot, it will undoubtedly be appreciated in all lands by those who love and grow the Queen of Flowers. -ED.]
