THE REVIEW 



DETROIT. 



The Detroit Florists" Club is distribut- 

 ing 5.000 young chrysanthemums to the 

 pupil-; of the sixth and seventh grades in 

 the public schools through the princi- 

 pals and teachers. These plants are to 

 be groNvn by the children and shown at 

 the exhibition Nov. 13 to 16 next. With 

 each plant was given a printed slip con- 

 taining directions for growing, as fol- 



"You will receive the plant in a 2A- 

 inch pot. Transplant it to a 4-inch pot 

 at onte. Place the pot in the garden in 

 partial shade, sinking it in the earth up 

 '" the rim. Be careful to give the plant 

 a good watering when first repotted. 

 Keep it well watered all summer. When 

 the buds come you must remove some, 

 but be very careful to leave at least one 

 bud on every branch. 



•'About the 5th of September dig up the 

 pot and transfer the plant to a 6-inch 

 pot. Take it indoors at night to protect 

 from a frost. If you have no good earth, 

 go to the nearest florist, who will supply 

 you with it, and for any information you 

 wish consult any of the florists whose 

 names are attached." 



The prizes offered to the school chil- 

 dren are: A gold fountain pen to the pu- 

 pil exhibiting the best and largest chrys- 

 anthemum plant from each public school 

 in the city; $5 gold piece to the pupil ex- 

 hibiting the best plant, selected from 

 among all the prize winners; a $25 palm 

 and jardiniere to the school making the 

 largest and best exhibit, the number of 

 pupils to be considered. 



The children of florists will be excluded 

 from competition. All children exhibit- 

 ing plants will be entitled to free admis- 

 sion to the flower show.
