Dr. Rock To Address A Special Meeting of
the American Rhododendron Society

A special meeting of the American Rhododendron Society will be held May 8 the evening of the first day of the Rhododendron Show at Portland, Oregon. Many members of the Society who travel great distances to attend the Show never have the opportunity to attend a Society meeting, and in the past have expressed their preference for such a date. Dr. J. F. Rock will be the main speaker of the evening. President C. I. Sersanous visited with Dr. Rock in Hawaii during early March, and has reported that Dr. Rock is working on the memoirs of his life. Major Barbur from the Exbury Gardens will also address the members. The cups, and plaques won in competition during the day will be awarded at the close.
