Seedling Chrysanthemums. 



As the time is fast approaching 

 when those interested will wish to ex- 

 hibit their seedlings before the com- 

 mittees, a few words regarding the 

 rules and regulations governing these 

 exhibits may not be amiss. 



A fee of $2 is charged for each va- 

 riety entered. This entry fee enti- 

 tles the exhibitor to submit the vari- 

 ety before as many committees as he 

 may desire. Six blooms are required 

 of each variety shown and to be elig- 

 ible must be such as have been tested 

 at least two years. No member of a 

 committee shall show his bloom be- 



Seal of Grand Commandery of Pennsylvania, 



fore the committee of which he Is a 

 member. Varieties scoring 85 points 

 are entitled to the society's first class 

 certificate. Foreign varieties may also 

 be entered and certificated under the 

 same conditions. 



All numbered seedlings entered must 

 also be provided with a name. In case 

 the variety does not score enough to 

 secure a certificate, and the exhibitor 

 desires to apply this name to some 

 other variety in the future, it will ap- 

 pear in all reports under number if 

 the secretary be so requested. 



Following are the scales of points 

 adopted by the Chrysanthemum Soci- 

 ety of America for use at exhibitions:

Clipper Bar. 



\\ ith this bar you can make a roof that is absolutely free 

 from drip, and glass cannot be torn out by the wind. Butted 

 glass makes a tight roof, a warm house and saves fuel. It 

 lasts longer, looks better and costs less than the old-fashioned 

 roof. Kiit do not think that this is the only bar we sell, for 

 it is not: we furnish what people want and there is nothing 

 in greenhouse material that you cannot get from us, and all 

 of open-air-dried Cypress clear of bright sap, stained sap, 



knots and all otherdefects.
