100 Exhibitors Display
Varieties; Special
Awards Slated Today

Roses in profusion, from radiant
red shades to the palest white. filled
the foyer of the new National Mu-
scum and overflowed into two ad-
dit!onal rooms yesterday as the Po-
tomac Rose Society opened its eighth
annual two-day show with some
1000 entries.
The show will be open to visitors
from 1:30 o'clock this afternoon to
10 O'Clock tonight and winners OF
special awards will be announced
during the day.
The recent heavy rains. some show
officials believed, injured the quality
of many of the roses. but some were
as good as those exhibited in pre-
vious years.
A total of 100 exhibitors, most Of
them home gardeners, had entries
In the show. The society exhibits by
varieties rather than colors.
First prize for the best rose in the
show in the amateur class was
taken by Mrs. Lomax Tayloe OF
Vienna. Va, with Crimson Glory"
Although Mrs. Tayloe has one Of
the smaller gardens. she has been
the outstanding amateur rose grower
In almost all of the shows. Mrs.
Tayloe also took third place in the
amateur class with a Madame
Butterfly" Miss M. Louise Fenby,
92l Farragut street NV, was second
In that class with Texas Centen-
nial."
