 pils enrolled who cultivate gardens is largest.

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

 Building, before Nov. 1st, 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.
