More Than 400 Varieties on
Experimental Farm Formally
Turned Over.
PROMINENT ROSARIANS
ATTEND THE EXERCISES
Gift Accepted for Government by DR..
W. A. Taylor of Bureau of
Plant Industry.

The formal presentation to the United
States government of more than 400
varieties of roses now growing in the
experimental farm Of the Department
of Agriculture at Arlington. Va. took
place this afternoon at a gathering OF
prominent rosarians from all sections
of the country at 1914 F street north
west. The roses were accepted on be-
half of the government by DR.. w. A.
Taylor. director of the bureau of plant
industry, who represented the Secre-
tary. of Agriculture at the exercises
The formal presentation was made by
Wallace Pierson of Cromwell, Conn,
president of the National Rose Society.
The dedicatory address was delivered
by William F. GUIDE of this city. Others
who spoke were F. l. Mulford. director
and Peter Bissett, in charge Of foreign
plant distribution in the Department of
Agriculture.
Donated by Florists.
The roses have been growing in the
experimental farm for about two
years. They were donated by florists,
both amateur and professional, living
in all sections of the country. The
roses are being grown at the expert
mental farm for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning the effect of this climate on
the different kinds of plants. Similar
testing gardens have been established
by the National Rose Society at Hart
ford. Conn; Minneapolis, Ithaca, N. Y,
and others are now being established
on Long Island and at San F'racisco.
Two years ago the Department of
Agriculture set aside about two acres
of ground in the experimental farm for
rose testing. The rose plants were
supplied by various rose growers de-
string to have different species tested.
The purpose of the exercises this
afternoon was to formally present
these rose bushes to the government.
Tests Take Three Years.
The testing of rase bushes takes
three years. They are examined by ex-
perts at frequent intervals during this
period and an accurate record kept OF
their growth and performance.
The presentation exercises this aft
ernoon were witnessed by prominent
florists and horticulturists from vari-
GUS sections of the country and this
city. Earlier In the afternoon they in
spected the rose-testing garden at the
experimental farm, where they found
hundreds of bushes IN full bloom.
This morning members of the execu-
tive committee of the National Rose
Society held a meeting at 1914 F street
to transact routine business of the or
ganization.

It has been whispered in Washington
ever since the Lusitania tragedy that
there are two schools of .thought
among Germans over that event In the
history of the war and the resulting
notes between the German and United
States governments. One is that Of
the military commanders. who are be-
lieved to have framed the German re-
ply to President Wilson's note. The
other is said to be that of the dfplo-
mats, who foresee in a possible sew
erance Of relations between the United
states and Germany nothing but great
additional trouble for Germany. as well
as for England. France, Russia and
possibly Italy.
