FLORICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE AT 

 THE NEW YORK FAIR. 



While the management of the Greater New York 

 Fair and Exposition to be held at Empire City Park, 

 a suburb of New York, during the month of August, 

 has made most liberal provisions for the display of 

 the different features of modern fair and exposition, it 

 has been especially generous in providing for an elab- 

 orate exhibit of the various branches of floriculture 

 and horticulture. As is well known, there are a num- 

 ber of the most extensive cultivators and growers of 

 the many varieties of flowers and plants in the vicinity 

 of New York. Their exhiljits at the local shows have 

 commanded the admiration of the flower loving world. 

 The floriculture and horticulture schedule adopted at 

 this fair is as liberal and generous as that of any fair 

 in the country. 



With its splendid facilities for the display of flowers, 

 plants, fruit and soil products, its close proximity to 

 the producers of these poi)ular adjuncts of a fair and 

 its generous premiums, should guarantee that the dis- 

 play at Empire City Park will surpass everything here- 

 tofore seen at any of the large Eastern expositions. 



Empire City Park is located just outside of Yonkers, 

 N. Y. The exposition will include, besides the flori- 

 cultural-horticultural exhibit, a horse and cattle show, 

 products of the dairy and farm, and everything to 

 make up a complete country fair.
