THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



A CARD TO THE EXHIBITORS. 



Joseph Manda, who has been appointed manager of 

 the International Flower Show, appeals to all exhibitors 

 to have their exhibits at the hall early. He will be at the 

 Grand Central Palace to receive exhibits Thursday and 

 Friday before the show and urges that the gardeners will 

 arrange to have their groups staged by Friday night. 

 This will greatly facilitate the work of the management 

 and also aid him' in having the show ready when the doors 

 are opened to the public on Saturday afternoon. 



George P^erguson, formerly of Glen Cove, N. Y., has 

 accepted a position on the Payne Whitney estate, Man- 

 hasset, N. Y., as gardener in charge of the greenhouses. 



ANOTHER LETTER OF APPRECIATION. 



Bronx, New York, February 18, 1914. 

 M. C. Ebel, Secretary, 



National Association of Gardeners, 

 Madison, N. J. 



Dear Sir: — Since we became members of the Na- 

 tional Association of Gardeners, or rather Mr. Schultz, 

 we are sorry indeed that we did not belong to it earlier. 



We contributed to the for 11 years, but received 



no benefit from it whatever. 



I have read with much interest the letter, "A Mes- 

 sage of Appreciation," in the G.xrde.xers' Chroxicle, 

 from Alice Martineau, Hurst Court, Sagford, Berk- 

 shire, England. As I have always been interested in 

 gardening and gardeners, having many of my own 

 family gardeners in England and horticulturists, I am 

 anxious, being the wife of a gardener, to help along 

 the cause to uplift the professional gardener, and hope 

 to have the privilege of attending the gardeners' meet- 

 ing in March, and also to bring some friends. 



Trusting these few words will not be misunderstood, 

 it is the only way I can express myself to such a 

 worthy cause to "uplift the gardener." 

 Respectfully, 



J. M. Schultz.
