THE COMING SPRING FLOWER SHOW 



THE Tenth International Flower Show to be held from March 

 1 2th to 17th inclusive at Grand Central Palace, New York, 

 promises to be the largest ever held. 



Five large gardens are to be exhibited this year, a gain of one 

 over the 1922 exhibit, being done by F. R. Pierson, of Tarrytown, 

 N. Y., Bobbink & Atkins, Rutherford, N. J., A. N. Pierson Com- 

 pany, Cromwell, Conn., John Scheepers, Inc., 522 Fifth Avenue, 

 New York, and Julius Roehrs Company, Rutherford, N. J. 



From advice at the present time it looks very much as if Orchids 

 will take an unusually prominent part, four large groups each cov- 

 ering about 400 square feet being planned for. 



A novel feature, sure to attract much attention, to be introduced 

 this year is arrangements of Hardy Azaleas. 



The cut Roses, always a feature of the show, will be finer than 

 ever, a competition to be staged the first day, a repetition to take 

 place on Friday. 



Daily attractions are as follows : 

 Monday — All the Groups and the Flowering Plants, Bulbs, cut 



Roses, etc. 

 Tuesday — Cut Roses from the private growers. 

 Wednesday — Display of cut Roses, commercial growers. Dinner 



Table Decorations of Roses of the private growers. 

 Thursday — Carnation Day, during which there will be large dis- 

 plays of Carnations by both commercial and private growers; 



Dinner Table Decorations also of Carnations by private growers. 

 Friday — Rose competition repeated as on Monday. Sweet-pea 



Day, both commercial and private growers' competition; table 



decorations of Sweet-peas by private growers.
