OF GENERAL INTEREST I 



INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 



The Seventh International h'lower Show, 

 to be held in the ■ Grand Central Palace, 

 New York, March 15 to 21 next, seems 

 likely to outdo its predecessors in magni- 

 tude and scope. The final schedule of pre- 

 miums has been issued, and embraces some 

 very important features. Cla.sses which 

 may appeal to private growers are the spe- 

 cials covering the collections of flowering 

 bulbs and bulbous rooted plants. There 

 are three classes for table decorations in 

 the private growers' section, and substan- 

 tial prizes are offered for a basket of flow- 

 ers. The class covering a group of flower- 

 ing and foliage plants, with ferns, palms 

 and bulbs permitted, arranged for etTcct, is 

 this year to cover 200 sr|uare feet, instead 

 of 100 square feet, as formerly, and the 

 prizes arc advanced to $1.50 and $1(X1. There

HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS 



L'nder the title, "Honicnltural E.xhibi- 

 tions and Clarden Competitions," the United 

 States Department of .Agriculture has is- 

 sued Department Circular 62, with 38 pages 

 and numerous illustrations. It calls atten- 



tion to tile fact thai the si)iiil of competi- 

 tion in an organized way, will do much for 

 the coinnnmity in helping to create added 

 interest in vegelaMe, fruit and Hower 

 growing, and in holding such exhibitions a 

 large inimher of small exhibits should be 

 the aim, rather than a lew large displays. 

 Under horticultural exhibits, the circular 

 treats of organization, competitors, classiti- 

 cation and schedules, the last named cov- 

 ering si)ring and fall shows, and exhibitions 

 of vegetables, autumn fruits, narcissi, irises, 

 peonies, roses, sweet peas, gladioli. daUiia^ 

 and chrysanthemums, sweepstakes prizes, 

 arrangement of exhiliits, judging premiums, 

 rules, etc. .Several pages are also devoted 

 to lawn and garden competitions, with rules 

 for the judging and arrangement of classes.
