ALL UP FOR CLEVELAND NEXT 

 NOVEMBER. 



The floor plan of The Cleveland 

 Flower Show indicating the space set 

 aside for trade exhibits in the big 

 Flower Show, November 10-14, 1915, 

 has just been mailed to prospective 

 exhibitors and a copy forwarded to 

 this office. The plan is a very simple 

 one and no doubt will develop into a 

 well arranged show, both for the 

 trade exhibitors and the growers who 

 participate in the competitive class of 

 floral exhibits. The space is all on 

 one floor and there are no balconies, 

 with the result that every location is 

 a good one and prices are figured to 

 include the sign for the exhibitor, his 

 partition railings and general decora- 

 tions above the space. 



This will be a good opportunity for 

 firms desiring to come before private 

 and commercial growers of northern 

 Ohio and Southern Michigan as well 

 as throughout the East. We see no 

 reason why the Cleveland Show will 

 not come up to the expectations of 

 the live Cleveland organizations that 

 are backing it. 



The show committee of the Cleve- 

 land Florists' Club has been conduct- 

 ing a lively campaign with a result 

 that we understand their guarantee 

 fund is over-subscribed about $1,500. 

 They raised $7,500 although they only 

 set out to secure $6,000. The Cleve- 

 land Florists are plainly working to- 

 gether in backing a movement that is 

 for the good of all and we wish them 

 success. The total guarantee fund is 

 $12,000 and it is entirely subscribed, 

 or rather oversubscribed, as the Ohio 



Horticultural Society has already put 

 up half of that amount, $6,000. The 

 Cleveland Florists' Club and the 

 Cleveland Garden Club are co-operat- 

 ing in forwarding this enterprise 

 which will be held in conjunction 

 with the annual meeting and exhibi- 

 tion of the Chrysanthemum Society of 

 America. George Bate is chairman 

 of the publicity committee, 356 Leader
