NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



ArraiiKGments are well under way 

 lor the National Flower Show to be 

 hold in Boston from March 25th to 

 April Ift. The space both for com- 

 l)etitive and trade exhibits is being 

 rapidly taken. The final schedules 

 ha\ e been pritited and sent to all the 

 members of the different societies un- 

 der whose auspices the exposition is 

 held. Manager Chester I. Campbell, 

 whose picture appears in this issue, 

 has had designed one of the most at- 

 tractive art advertising cards for the 



Chester I. Campbell 



exposition ever seen and these will 

 shortly be sent to all the larger cities 

 in the country. An advertising seal 

 or sticker for stationery has also been 

 arranged for and they, too, will be 

 sent to all the exhibitors and mem- 

 bers of the Societies. 



Manager Campbell has had long ex- 

 perience in the exposition business 

 and realizes fully the importance of 

 such advertising. Among the many 

 expositions which he has charge ot 

 are numbered the Boston Automobile 

 Show, which has the reputation of be- 

 ing the largest in the world, the Na- 

 tional Motor Boat and Engine Show, 

 the Style Show, Office Appliance, Tex- 

 tile Machinery, Electric, Exhibition of 

 Aerial Craft, and he will also guide 

 the destinies of the great Boston 

 Chamber of Commerce Industrial and 

 Educational Exhibition which will be 

 held in October.

 tend making what may be classed as

 florists, while not entering in the com- 

 petitive classes, intend offering novel-
