CARNATION SHOW FOR BOSTON. 



The Gardener's and Florists' Club of 

 Boston is to conduct a carnation show 

 at Horticultural Hall, Feb. 10. 



The money for the various premiums 

 —two in each class — will be contrib- 

 uted by the Club and various firms 

 and individuals. Prizes will be similar 

 to those offered on February 18, 1919. 

 when the first show of this nature was 

 held, and in a later notice exact 

 amounts will be given. 



The hall will be open to the general 

 public free of charge, from 2 to 7.30 

 p. m. 



Scoring of carnations will be by the 

 American Carnation Society scale, as 

 follows: Color, 25; size, 20; stem, 20; 

 form, 10; calyx. 5; substance, 15; fra- 

 grance, 5; total possible points, 100. 



This exhibition, the only mid-winter 

 one to be held in Boston, while gotten 

 up at short notice, will, we feel sure, 

 be appreciated by the flower-loving 

 public of Boston, as was the very suc- 

 cessful one held a year ago. A cordial 

 Invitation is extended to growers, both 

 private and commercial, and retailers 

 to contribute something to make the 

 show a creditable one. 



The judges will be William H. Judd, 

 chairman of the Exhibits Committee of 

 the Gardeners' and Florists' Club; 

 William Anderson, representing the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 and Henry Penn. representing the re- 

 tailers of Boston.
