An e.xhibition of this society will be 

 held on January 13 and 14 at the

 The monthly shows have usually been 

 held tor the afternoon only, but it has 

 been decided to try the experiment of 

 holding them for two days. This one 

 will be open on Saturday afternoon, 

 and also on Sunday afternoon. There 

 are classes open to all and others 

 restricted to non-commercial growers. 

 Prizes are offered for cut flowers of 

 orchids, carnations, sweet peas, Bud- 

 dleia asiatica, schizanthus, and antir- 

 rhinums. Premiums are also offered 

 tor primula and begonia plants. Spe- 

 cial prizes may also be awarded by 

 the exhibition committee for unusual 

 exhibits, and such exhibits are re- 

 quested. 



There will be a lecture at 4 on 

 Saturday afternoon, the 13th, on "Dar- 

 win and Other Tulips" by John 

 Scheepers. This will be illustrated 

 with colored lantern slides. Schedules 

 are now ready for distribution, and 

 may be had by addressing the secre- 

 tary, George V. Nash, New York Bo- 

 tanical Garden, Bronx Park, N. Y. City. 

 George V. Nash, Secy.

Prespective exhibitors at the Ameri-

 22. A penalty of $2 will be imposed on 

 each entry made after that date. 

 Please mail your entries early and 

 make entry in every class in which 

 there is a possibility of your showing. 

 That will save you expense and the 

 secretary work and confusion. The 

 premium scliedule has been mailed out. 

 It you need another, drop the secre- 

 tary a postal. 



Everything points to a successful 

 convention. Word comes from every 

 direction of large delegations. The lo- 

 cal society is planning entertainment 

 for a large attendance and is leaving 

 nothing undone to make your stay both 

 pleasant and profitable. 



"Carnation Yellows" will again be 

 up for discussion. Another subject will 

 be "How can we improve the market- 

 ing of carnation blooms?" Please 

 come prepared to give your views.

 last segment, which has a chamois-
