Wake Up to the Memorial Day Business 



New England has long felt its success. Why not develop 

 trade in all parts of the United States and Canada the 

 same as we have done in Nevv^ England?

PLANS FOR THE DAHLIA SHOW. 



A mpeting of the Executive Com- 

 mittee of the American Dahlia So- 

 ciety was held at the Grand Hotel, 

 New York, on Monday afternoon, May 

 10, 1920. 



A prize schedule for the fall Flow- 

 er Show was partially prepared to be 

 completed by the committee and pre- 

 sented at the next meeting, June 14. 



More than half of the trade space 

 has already been taken for the Dahlia 

 Show to be held at the Hotel Pennsyl- 

 vania, New York, September 27, 28 

 and 29. and many prizes have been 

 contributed. The indications are that 

 the total number and value of the 

 prizes will be more than offered at 

 any previous show. 



Quite a number of orders have also 

 been received for trade tickets which 

 are offered at $25.00 a hundred, the 

 regular admission being 50 cents. 



It was finally decided that only e.x- 

 hibitors occupying trade space will be 

 allowed to do business in the hall dur- 

 ing the show and that all competitive 

 exhibits will be together, separate 



from trade exhibits and not combined 

 as was originally intended. 



The many obstacles appearing have 

 been overcome and everything now 

 points to this being the largest and 

 most successful show of any single 

 flower ever held.

BOSTON. 



The executive committee of the 

 Gardeners' and Florists' Club of Bos- 

 ton has voted to hold a field day in 

 the Arboretum on June 12. The Club 

 will also hold a lady's night on the 

 evening of June 15, and the annual 

 picnic of the Club will be held at 

 Cunningham Park, Elast Milton, July 

 22. 



The May meeting of the Gardeners' 

 & Florists' Club of Boston was held 

 Tuesday evening with an attendance of 

 about fifty. The address of the even- 

 ing was given by Prof. Duchant, who 



spoke on Service, and who was, listened 

 to with great Interest. He used the 

 blackboard to illustrate his points, and 

 told of various ways in which both in- 

 dividual and business efficiency could 

 be increased. 



A hand cultivator was demonstrated 

 and attracted considerable attention. 

 It is the smallest power cultivator 

 which has yet been seen and some of 

 the growers seemed to think it might 

 be used to advantage as a means of 

 making up for lack of hand labor. 



Refreshments were served at the 

 close of the meeting. 



Messrs Rogean and Noyes, well 

 known salesmen in the Boston market 

 have taken the agency for the Mary 

 Garden Auto Cultivator. They believe 

 that this cultivator can be used most 

 successfully by growers and have a 

 machine on exhibition at the market 

 which has aroused much attention. 

 Both men are known as hustlers and 

 are looking for a large business this 

 Spring owing to the difficulties in pro- 

 curing labor.
