Society of American Florists. - Department of Plant Registration.
The Hoffmeister Floral Co. Cincinnati O., registers new rose Maid of Honor, a sport from Bridesmaid, deeper pink in color. This is the variety which the Hoffmeister Floral Co. has been advertising for introduction this season under the name of Miss Clara Barton, but having been apprised of the fact that another firm had previously registered a rose under this name, they, out of deference to the rules of the S.A.F. regarding the registration of new plants, and with the best interest of the trade at heart, have decided to adopt the new name, as above indicated for their rose.
