THE FALL EXHIBITION 



The Annual Fall Exhibition, as announced in the schedule sent 

 to all members a few weeks ago, will be held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History October 30 to November 3, and, as 

 usual, will be free to the public. It will be open on the evening 

 of Friday, October 30, from 7 to 10, especially for the members 

 of the society, the Museum, and afifiliated organizations. On Sat- 

 urday, Monday, and Tuesday, October 31 and November 2 and 

 3, it will be open from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. and 7 to 10 P.M., and 

 on Sunday, November i, from i to 5 F.M. 



The prizes have been increased over those of last year in a 

 number of the classes, especially for the bush chrysanthemums 

 and orchids, thus considerably increasing the total. The great 

 expense entailed in moving the large bush plants, and the great 

 value of orchid plants seemed to make this increase only just and 

 right. 



The society's silver cup, valued at v$ioo, is offered as a sweep- 

 stake prize this year for the finest and best bush plant exhibited. 

 A third prize, the only exception in the schedule, has been offered 

 in the class for twelve vases of chrysanthemums, twelve varieties, 

 three blooms of each, stems eighteen inches long. The three 

 prizes of '$50, $35 and ^1$ should bring out a strong competition 

 in this class. 



It has also been attempted to more clearly define the sort of 

 sprays required in exhibitions of pompons, singles and anemones. 

 The spray must be terminal and must have not less than five 

 flowers.
