CLEVELAND FLOWER SHOW. 



The question has been asked us 

 several times recently regarding the 

 possible change in our plans for con- 

 ducting the Annual Exhibition of the 

 Chrysanthemum Society of America, 

 in connection with the Cleveland 

 Flower Show this fall. In reply to 

 these inquiries and for the informa- 

 tion of the many private and commer- 

 cial growers who are looking forward 

 to exhibiting in Cleveland this fall, we 

 wish to announce that the Cleveland 

 Show will be conducted in the same 

 manner as we originally planned early 

 in the year. 



We see no reason at this time to 

 alter our iilans; in tact, there is all 

 the more reason for developing flower 

 shows and other activities. In event 

 war conditions develop and are intense 

 in November, at the time of the Cleve- 

 land Flower Show the committee will 

 make arrangements wrth the Red Cross 

 Society and hold the show for their 

 benefit. 



At this time the Executive Commit- 

 tee wishes to extend an invitation to 

 all growers to plan on exhibiting in 

 Cleveland. Premium lists may be se- 

 cured by addressing M. A. Vinson, 402 

 Leader-News Bldg., Cleveland, O.

 Chairman Show Committees.
