coming from the private grower. 'Sir. J. K. ]\I. L. 

 Farquhar, a man well known to the entire gardening pro- 

 fession of the country, president of the Society of Amer- 

 ican Florists, also an associate member of our associa- 

 tion, has been a ceaseless worker since his election last 

 August. He has done much in the interest of horticul- 

 ture in his own city, Boston, Mass.. in the past, and is 

 now striving to make the International Show illustrative 

 of the progress horticulture and floriculture have made 

 in this country the last few years. Mr. John Young, 

 secretarv of the Society of .\nierican Florists, anil one

of our associate members, has also done much active 

 work, and last but not least we can name another of our 

 members closely identified with the show, a member of 

 the executive committee of the S. A. F. and secretary of 

 the Flower Show Committee, Mr. Harry H. Bunyard, 

 to whom much of the detail work is falling. 



Thus it is disclosed that those entrusted with the active 

 management of the International Flower Show are a 

 ])art of our association and so to us will come equal glory 

 with the Society of American Florists from a successful 

 outcome, while the financial responsibility has been en- 

 tirely assumed by our sister society. The obligation that 

 falls to our association is, that every member of it in a 

 position to do so must come forward and do his share 

 in making the horticultural and floricultural exhibits the 

 grandest that were ever staged anywhere.

displax of cut roses, irrespective of number of varieties 

 shown. This premium does not appear in the Final 

 Schedule of Prizes, just issued. A supplementary sched- 

 ule will be issued before the show opens, to take care of 

 the prizes that will be offered from now on. 



In the Final Schedule, Class 87, "First Prize, Silver 

 Cup," should instead read "Grand Silver Medal and $15" 

 as a first prize, and that same is offered by the Plorti- 

 cultural Society of Chicago ; in Class 91 in Section "C" 

 the medal offered is the Grand Bronze Medal of the 

 Horticultural Society of Chicago. 



Class 524, the M. C. Ebel prize, is open to members 

 of the National Association of Gardeners only ; notice 

 of this fact was inadvertently omitted from the schedule. 



The most noteworthy classes in the Final Schedule

are Classes 192, 193 and 194, covering $200 for the most 

 valuable economic plant, which may be a new fruit, new 

 vegetable, or other plant which has a distinct economic 

 value : 8200 for the most valuable new foliage plant ; 

 and $100 for the most valuable new flowering plant. 

 These prizes are offered by the Missouri Botanic Garden 

 of St. Louis, and, as far as know-n, no schedule has ever 

 contained such a liberal provision. These offers should 

 bring numbers of exhibits from the growers of novelties 

 in Europe. " J. H. Pepper.
