FALL EXHIBITIONS 



There will be two exhibitions the coming fall — a Dahlia Ex- 

 hibition and the usual Fall Exhibition. In cooperation with the 

 recently organized American Dahlia Society an exhibition of this 

 flower, which is becoming increasingly popular, will be held Fri- 

 day, Saturday and Sunday, September 24 to 26, at the Amer- 

 ican Museum of Natural History. A large prize list has been 

 prepared, which it is hoped will result in the largest dahlia exhi- 

 bition ever given in this city. xA.ll interested in this truly Amer- 

 ican flower, a native of the high mountains of Mexico, are invited 

 to make this initial exhibition of the new society a marked success. 



The regular Fall Exhibition will be held at the American 

 Museum of Natural History November 4 to 7. This is the time 

 when the chrysanthemum holds the chief place. In addition to 

 the large premium list prepared for this flower, many prizes have 

 been offered also for roses, carnations, foliage and other decora- 

 tive plants, and orchids. Schedules are now ready and will be sent 

 on application to the secretary. 



NEW OFFICES OF THE SOCIETY

 actively cooperating in fostering and increasing an awakening 

 interest in horticulture, has recently acquired, as an addition to 

 its area, about one hundred and fifty acres, the remaining por- 

 tion of Bronx Park lying between the Botanical Garden and the
