THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



hoped that each member of the society will make it a matter of 

 special effort to bring to the flower show as many soldiers and 

 sailors as possible. Those who have been across will thus have 

 an opportunity of seeing some of the beautiful side of life again 

 as expressed by flowers, and those who are to go across can carry 

 with them the memory of these beautiful things. There is ample 

 space for parking in the neighborhood of the American Aluseum 

 of Natural History, so that motor parties may be arranged. 



The exhibition is entirely free to the public and will be open on 

 Friday and Saturday, November 8 and 9, from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M., 

 and from 7 to 10 P.M., and on Sunday, the tenth, from i to 



5 P.M. 



The American ]\luseum of Natural History, located on 77th 

 Street, between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue, may 

 be reached readily by the Broadway Subway, the nearest express 

 station being at 72d Street; the local trains also stop at 79th 

 Street; each station is about equal distance from the Museum. 

 Visitors may also use the Sixth Avenue Elevated, the nearest 

 station being at 8ist Street. Eighth Avenue and Columbus 

 Avenue surface care also pass within a half block of the main 

 entrance. 



To indicate the society's interest in war gardens and their 

 products, a special feature of fruits and vegetables has been made 

 this year in the premium-list, and it is hoped that many will show 

 their interest in this by making exhibits. Prizes are offered for 

 fresh fruits and vegetables and for those preserved in glass jars. 

 The premiums offered for fruit and vegetables are as follows :
