Now, in regards to your "Grape Dust," I must 

 say that when I first heard of it I had but little 

 faith in it, because I had tried all the remedies for 

 Mildew I had ever heard of, but they were of little 

 value. It seems that my location favors Mildew 

 especially. When other Florists are but little trou- 

 bled, my houses are generally well covered with the 

 Mildew, so when I sent for the first keg of "Grape 

 Dust" my Roses were almost worthless, but since 

 using the "Grape Dust" my Roses are the "Picture of 

 Health." F. J. A. SCHAEFER, Newburgh, N. Y.

REPORT OF GEORGE ASMUS. 



CHAIRMAN NATIONAL FLOW- 

 ER SHOW COMMITTEE 



My report will be to cover the ac- 

 tivities of the National Flower Show 

 Committee since the Convention of 

 1919, held in Detroit. There was one 

 meeting of our Committee held since 

 that time in New York City, March 

 17, 1920. 



While the New York Spring Flower 

 Show was in progress, after going over 

 places that would be logical for the 

 next National Flower Show, the City 

 of Cleveland was selected as most 

 desirable, in view of the fact that 



there is in a course of construction 

 a few blocks from the place where we 

 are now holding our meeting, a won- 

 derful building with plenty of space 

 available. 



Easter in 1922 falls on April 16th. 

 The Committee selected for the dates 

 of the Show, to open Saturday, March 

 2.5th, and close Saturday, April 1st. 

 Thus far the Committee has had a 

 pliminary schedule set up and printed 

 in galley form, and as soon as definite 

 arrangements are completed for the 

 building which we hope will be very 

 soon, the preliminary schedule will be 

 mailed broadcast. 



The premium list prepared, is based 

 on an expenditure of $20,000.00. This 

 amount, of course, would be greatly 

 reduced by the special premiums that 

 are offered by the various Horticul- 

 tural interests. We know that there 

 is a feeling of impatience on the part 

 of some, but when the gigantic task is 

 considered, and all the necessities 

 that go to making our wonderful ex- 

 hibition what we always want it to 

 be, the last word in Floriculture, the 

 Committee must move carefully and 

 cautiously. 



The expenses of the last exhibition 

 held in Philadelphia, were approxi- 

 mately $52,000.00. This does not in-
