can be entered from any local club or 

 society. 



All members in good standing of the 

 N. A. G. or S. A. F. are eligible in the 

 individual bowling tournament. Team 

 bowlers can enter by waiving their 

 team scores from counting in the in- 

 dividual tournament. 



Rules governing the tournament will 

 be posted at the N. A. G. and S. A. F. 

 headquarters in New York City on the 

 7th and 8th of April, and on Thum's 

 alleys during the bowling. 



A long list of prizes has been se- 

 cured in which are included many val- 

 uable trophies. 



CARNATIONISTS PLEASE NOTE. 



On account of the flooded condition 

 of a large territory around Indian- 

 apolis, which is making mail deliveries 

 very uncertain and in some directions 

 impossible, it would be well for all 

 those who are entering the competition 

 in the carnation classes at New York,

 President, American Rose Society. 



to bring a list of their entries along 

 to the show with them. 



Your enteries may reach me here, 

 and if they do I will have your entry 

 cards made out, but should they not 

 reach me, it would be a great help if 

 you have a list with you. 



Please also note that Sections A, B, 

 C, D, G, and classes 43 and 45 will 

 stage on April 8th. Classes 42, 44, 46, 

 47 and 48 will stage on April 10th. 

 Through an error in printing the 

 schedule for the entire show, classes 

 43 and 45 were included with the April 

 10th staging. Our classes 43 and 45 

 appear as classes 441 and 443 in the 

 National Flower Show schedule. En- 

 tries in Section E may stage at any 

 time during the carnation show. 



We are planning to leave Indian- 

 apolis on Saturday evening, April 5th 

 and expect to arrive in New York, 

 Sunday evening at 5 P. M. Any mail 

 which is not certain to reach here by 

 Saturday morning should be addressed 

 in care of Hotel Manhattan, New York.

Trfiisurer, American Rose Society. 



In the Dorner Memorial Medal class, 

 no medal will be awarded this year. 

 Only a preliminary competition will be 

 conducted this year, for which 50 

 blooms are required. 



Bring with you the pink slip, which 

 was sent you along with the receipt 

 for your dues. Without it you will be 

 unable to get your season ticket to 

 the show.

WHAT THE SHOW MEANS. 

 There is at once a happy and a use- 

 ful thought behind the international 

 flower show to be held in the Grand 

 Central Palace, New York City, under 

 the auspices of the Society of Ameri- 

 can Florists and Ornamental Horti- 

 culturists. The show will bring to- 

 gether not only the floral exhibits, but 

 the florists of many countries, and the 

 result should be an interchange of 

 views and expeiiences in floriculture 

 that must be incalculable value to the 

 whole industry. Few people have
