THE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW 



The Annual Spring Flower Show was held at the Grand 

 Central Palace, March 14 to 20, 1921, under the auspices of 

 the Horticultural Society of New York and the New York 

 Florist's Club. The show was very successful, both artistically 

 and financially, and was visited by great crowds of interested 

 and appreciative spectators. 



The arrangement of the main floor was an improvement 

 over that of the previous year. A wide circle ran from the 

 main entrance almost the whole depth of the building, with the 

 leading features of the show arranged on either side, while a 

 broad walk, arched at intervals with climbing roses and other 

 vines, gave the effect of a long vista through the centre. The 

 approach was filled on either side with two delightful exhibits 

 made by private growers, each one a joy to the eye of the be- 

 holder. Mr. Adolph Lewisohn (John Canning, gardener) 

 occupied 500 sq. ft. with a beautifully arranged display of 

 flowering plants backed by shrubs and tall cedars and con- 

 taining a large proportion of annual flowers at their best. Gypso- 

 phila elegans, sweet peas, stocks, primroses, Clarkias, Anemones.
