THE COMING FALL EXHIBITION 



An exhibition of plants and flowers will be held in the Ameri- 

 can Museum of Natural History, commencing on Wednesday, 

 November 9, and continuing until Sunday, the thirteenth. The 

 exhibit will open at 7 P.M. the first day, and the evening will be 

 devoted to a private view for members of the society, of the 

 American Museum of Natural History, and of affiliated 

 organizations. 



An extensive premium-list has been prepared. Many premi- 

 ums have been provided for chrysanthemums, both plants and 

 cut flowers. Among the former are prizes for specimen bushes 

 and standards, and among the cut flowers provision has been 

 made for the large forms and for hardy pompons, singles and 

 anemones. Many premiums have been offered for roses and 

 carnations and for foliage and decorative plants. It is hoped 

 that the prizes for palms and large tree-ferns will prove at- 

 tractive, as a great many of these are desirable, adding much to 

 the general beauty of the exhibition. Suitable prizes have been 

 allotted to the orchids, collections, individual plants, novelties and 

 cut flowers receiving attention. Premiums are also offered for 

 fruits and vegetables. 



It is hoped that entries will be made in the class of decorations 

 and floral pieces. A keen competition along this line would add 

 much to the interest and attractiveness of the exhibition. The
