Showtime '98 





Although there's no one State Flower Show, several smaller, 

 more regional shows can offer some of the satisfactions 

 of a large event. 

 Keene's "The Breath of Spring" Flower Show on March 20-23 

 (the theme is "Flowers in Wonderland" and Roger Swain, Victory 

 garden host, will be speaking on March 22 at 4:30 pm) and the 

 Seacoast Flower, Home and Garden Show at the Whittemore 

 Arena on March 27-29 ("Country Gardens" is their theme) and 

 The UNH Greenhouse Open House (March 27-28), both in 

 Durham, are three that come to mind. 



Celebration of the fifteenth (crystal) anniversary of the found- 

 ing of the New Hampshire Orchid Society (NHOS) will be the 

 theme of the society's seventh annual show, to be held at the 

 National Guard Armory, Daniel Webster Highway, Nashua, on 

 April 24-26. There will be special exhibits and trophies, more cut 

 flower displays, and "real orchid education programs" — topics will 

 be more general, in order to encourage new people to look into 

 this serious and satisfying horticultural endeavor. 



People interested in exhibiting or vending should contact Ulla 

 lurrissen, chairperson, at 207-439-0922; for other information, con- 

 tact loanna Eckstrom at 603-654-5070. 



Outside the state, shows in Portland, Bangor, Burlington, and 

 Boston are attractive choices. Dates and contact numbers are in 

 the calendar.
