INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



Arrangements Practically Completed 

 for the Big Exhibit. 



At this time, three weeks before the 

 opening of the International Flower 

 Show in the Grand Central Palace, 

 New York, all arrangements are prac- 

 tically completed. 



The arrangement of the exhibition 

 will show some differences in compari- 

 son with the lay-out of previous shows, 

 but they will be to the advantage of 

 the general display. The rose garden 

 feature promises to be on a larger 

 scale than ever, and the big cut rose 

 display is this year to be doubled. The 

 American Rose Society is taking much 

 interest in the rose displays, which 

 will include the society's annual exhi- 

 bition, and its officers have secured 

 several special prizes for rose exhibits. 

 Rock gardens and border plantings 

 will be featured lavishly, and the bulb 

 Karden display is expected this year to 

 excel any attempt heretofore made in 

 this direction. 



The trade exhibits bid fair to exceed 

 in number, space occupied, and general 

 interest all previous showings at any 

 similar exhibition. An especial feature 

 in the assemblage of exhibits will be 

 some devoted to the display of garden 

 tractors. In these days of labor short- 

 age tractors adapted to garden use will 

 undoubtedly be objects of interests to 

 all whose garden operations are con- 

 ducted on a liberal scale. Many will 

 miss the handsome display of garden 

 pottery, statuary and furniture which 

 has characterized other exhibitions, 

 but the committee has been unable to 

 secure the feature at this show. Also, 

 probably will be missed the usual ex- 

 tensive exhibit of rustic furniture for 

 gardens and parks exhibit which has 

 always appealed to the public, whose 

 ideas generally connect summer houses 

 and benches with the gardens of their 

 dreams. Seventy-four trade exhibits 

 have had space reserved for them, and 

 this number will very likely be in- 

 creased, but only to the extent of space 

 available. It will seem rather strange 

 that the list of exhibitors does not in- 

 clude any house able to stage an ex- 

 hibit of garden tools, that is, spades, 

 forks, garden baskets, shears, flower 

 cutters, trowels, markers and the hun-
