THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



Saturday — Dinner Table Decorations by private growers ; Miscel- 

 laneous Flowers not staged during any other day. 

 The Garden Club of America classes look very interesting, their 

 little gardens last year attracting such attention that at times the 

 passageway was entirely blocked. These are to be repeated this 

 year, also a suburban planting from which we look for some ori- 

 ginal and constructive ideas. 



There are also competitions in suburban planting schemes : 



A. A house and garage to be placed on an interior lot with a 

 frontage of 75 feet and a depth of 150 feet and grounds prac- 

 tically and attractively planted. Model to be built on tray 

 20 inches by 40 inches. 



B. A house and garage to be placed on an interior lot with a 

 frontage of 75 feet and a depth of 150 feet and grounds prac- 

 tically and attractively planted. Open to individual members 

 and member s-at-large of The Garden Club of America who 

 are landscape architects. Exhibit to be staged by noon on 

 March 12th and kept up for the duration of the show. 



"THE AMATEUR" IS DEFINED 



Attention is called to the action of the directors at the meeting 

 of January loth, 1923, when it was resolved that for the purposes 

 of exhibition of the Horticultural Society of New York the word 

 "amateur" shall mean "a person who does not propagate for pur- 

 poses of selling," and it is hoped that this ruling may have wide 

 adoption by other organizations. 



FLOWER SHOWS FOR SUMMER AND FALL 



At the meeting of the directors on January loth, 1923, it was 

 resolved that arrangements be made for flower shows to follow 

 the International in March — a Tulip show in the New York 

 Botanical Gardens sometime in May, and at the same place ex- 

 hibitions in proper season of Gladiolus and Dahlias. The Peony 

 show and the regular fall Chrysanthemum show to be held in the 

 Museum of Natural History. The exact dates have yet to be 

 determined.
