 in the Drill Shed, Honolulu, January 8-1 1, 1908. 



The Farmers' Institute invites the hearty cooperation of all 

 agriculturists and amateur gardeners of the Territory to make 

 this second exhibition the best possible representation of the varied 

 and bountiful resources of our soils and climate. 



It is the aim of the Institute to make this agricultural ex- 

 hibition representative of all the Islands and as diversified as 

 possible.

 and garden have been provided for, and in recognition of the best 

 display, a first and second prize, consisting of a blue and a, red 

 ribbon, respectively, will be awarded in each class of exhibits. 



To further encourage exhibits from the other Islands, the Inter-

 transport, free of charge, all exhibits shipped from points touched 

 by their steamers. Upon arrival in Honolulu, such exhibits will 

 be cared for by the Farmers' Institute. Xo entrance fee will be 

 charged. 



A detailed list of exhibits will be published within a few days. 



Communications should be addressed to
