ST. LOUIS SPRING FLOWER 

 SHOW. 



The Preliminary Premium List o£ 

 the St. Louis Flower Show to be held 

 iinder the auspices o£ the St. I.ouis 

 Flower Show Association, Inc., on 

 March 15 to 18, 1917, has been sent 

 out. The classes common to most 

 spring shows are well covered in the 

 list, which is divided into two sections 

 . — commercial and private growers, but 

 the prize amounts are not yet sched- 

 uled. We note with approval tlio In- 

 clusion of groups "staged for etTect" 

 of most of the subjects listed, with 

 optional use of accessories and other 

 plants or flowers as auxiliaries, this 

 particularly in the "commercial" sec- 

 tion. Nothing is yet mentioned in the 

 way of decorative work, bridal ar- 

 rangements, tables, mantels, etc., but 

 no doubt thege features will yet be 

 added. The listing of a large number 

 of classes for "si)ecimen" this and 

 that all through the plant schedule is 

 noted. There seems to be a disposi- 

 tion in most large shows at the pres- 

 ent day to mimimize this sort of com- 

 petition in exhibitions dependent for 

 success upon public enthusiasm and 

 support, but we presume the St. T.ouis 

 people who are back of this ambitious 

 project know what they are doing and 

 have the best of reasons for the 

 methods adopted to ensure success.
