THE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 



The month of March, in the year 19 14, marks an important 

 period in the history of the society. In this month, from the 

 twenty-first to the twenty-ninth, was held the first large spring 

 show, in the management of which the society participated. 

 Under the auspices of The Horticultural Society of New York and 

 the New York Florists' Club, in cooperation with the American 

 Rose Society, the American Carnation Society, and the American 

 Sweet Pea Society, was given one of the largest and most attrac- 

 tive exhibitions ever held in this country. It was not only an 

 artistic but also a financial success. All are to be congratulated 

 on the happy outcome — those who gave their time and energy in 

 arranging for the exhibition and providing for the many details, 

 and the many exhibitors, both private and commercial, who made 

 the show an artistic success by contributing superb examples of 

 plants and flowers. 



The exhibition was given under the following patronage : 



Mrs. John Purroy Mitchell Mrs. W. De Lancey Kountze
