SUMMER FLOWER SHOW FOR 

 NEW YORK. 



A meeting or officials and members of 

 the International Garden Club, includ- 

 ing Mrs. Clias. P. Hoffman, Mrs. James 

 L. Breese, Mrs. Chas. D. Dickey, Mrs. 

 Amory Carhart, Mrs. J. J. Wysong, 

 Mrs. H. de Berkeley Parsons an.l 

 others \\ho are interested in the forth- 

 coming show to be held in the club's 

 grounds at Pelham Bay Park, Pelham 

 Bay, N. Y., June 1-4, met at the Hotel 

 Biltmore, New York, on Friday after- 

 noon, April 7, there being between GO 

 and 70 present. Dr. Geo. Norton Miller 

 presided. 



The meeting was to consider the 

 premium list already prepared by the 

 schedule committee, to appoint a sec- 

 retary-manager to carry out the ar- 

 rangements tor the show, and to make 

 other provisions in that connection. 



J. Harrison Dick, as secretary of the 

 schedule committee, read a letter that 

 he had sent to Mrs. Chas. F. Hoffman, 

 president of the International Garden 

 Club on March 11, naming the gentle- 

 men who had accepted invitations to 

 serve on this committee, and incorpo- 

 rating iu the letter the principal sug- 

 gestions made by the committee. Ap- 

 pended was the preliminary schedule. 



Mrs. Hoffman thought that the sum 

 of ?3,000 previously suggested would 

 he all that the club could guarantee 

 for prizes, and asked that the prelimi- 

 nary schedule be made to conform to 

 this amount. 



Short speeches were made in favor 

 of the proposed show by Richard Vin- 

 cent, Jr., president of the American 

 Dahlia Society; \Vm. Carter, secretary 

 of the Bernardsville Hort. & Agri. So- 

 ciety; John Featherstone, president 

 Tarrytown Hort. Society; David Mc- 

 intosh, secretary Tuxedo Hort. So- 

 ciety; T. A. Havemeyer; B. Ham- 

 mond Tracy, representing the Ameri- 

 can Gladiolus Society; P. W. Popp, 

 corresponding secretary of the West- 

 chester & Fairfield Hort. Society; An- 

 ton Bauer, Deal (N. J.) Hort. Society; 

 Bertrand Farr, president of the Ameri- 

 can Peony Society, and W. A. Manda, 

 speaking as an exhibitor. 



It was generally agreed that a 

 charge of .?5 should be made for en- 

 trance on the first day, $1 the second 

 day, 50c. the third day, with one free 

 day. This matter, however, together 

 with the appointment of the various 

 committees, was left in the hands of 

 the executive committee of the Inter- 

 national Garden Club. 



Harry A. Bunyard proposed, and 

 John Canning seconded, the appoint- 

 ment of Arthur Herrington as secre- 

 tary-manager, which was unanimously 

 agreed to. The date June 1-4 was def- 

 initely adopted. 



It is hoped that the new preliminary 

 schedule will be published within the 

 next few days, but other cups, dona- 

 tions or prizes from societies or in- 

 dividuals are expected, and may be 

 added to the final schedule. 



Very considerable interest was 

 shown through')ut the proceedings, tlio 

 general verdict being ')iat a summer 

 show properly organized and carried 

 througli, was what was wanted, and 

 that it would be desirable for the 

 smaller organizations, to combine and 

 make one thoroughly representative 

 show. 



Promise of support was received 

 from various members of other garden
