First Prize — $io, for the best show in each group. 



Second Prize — $5, for the second best show in each group,

In awarding prizes the judges will give special attention to 

 flowers grown from Home Gardening seeds. 



Judge Dellenbaugh will present 1,000 bulbs for out- door plant- 

 ing to every school which has a creditable flower-show. 



These prizes will be awarded with the understanding that the 

 money and bulbs are to be used to improve school grounds. 



GARDEN PRIZES: 



First Prize — $10, to the school where the percentage of pu- 

 pils enrolled who cultivate gardens is largest. 



Second Prize — $5, to the school where the percentage of 

 pupils enrolled who cultivate gardens is next largest. 



The teachers will arrange sometime during September to have a 

 descriptive letter written by each pupil who has a garden. The num- 

 ber of these letters will be reported to Miss Emma Davis, Rose 

 Building, before Nov. ist, 1904. 



The prizes will be awarded on the basis of the number of these 

 letters. Tn this contest a window-box will count as a garden. The 

 money received from these prizes is also to be used in the improve- 

 ment of school yards. 



Judge Dellenbaugh will offer prizes for the best gardens 

 and window-boxes in each ward. The conditions of this 

 contest will be published in the daily papers on Saturday, 

 May 14. 



The Home Gardening Association congratulates the pupils of 

 the public schools upon the large number of gardens planted last 

 year. These gardens added very much to the beauty of the city. It 

 is the hope of the association that every pupil may have a well-cared- 

 for garden or window-box this year. In this way Cleveland would 

 become the most beautiful city, in the country.
