SHOW PLANS COMPUITE. 



The final schedule of premiums cov- 

 ering the classes for competition at the 

 National Flower Show, Philadelphia, 

 March 25 to April 2, has been dis- 

 tributed and all contemplating making 

 entries are urged to place them in the 

 hands of the secretary at once. The 

 closing date for entries is March 20 

 and entries after that date must be 

 accompanied by a fee of $2 and will 

 only be received subject to acceptance 

 by the National Flower Show com- 

 mittee. 



Practically all of the space set apart 

 for trade exhibits has been reserved, 

 excepting a few blocks on the main 

 floor extension, which doubtless will be 

 taken up within a few days. 



Exhibits, or exhibition material, 

 should be forwarded wherever possible 

 by Pennsylvania railroad connection to 

 North Philadelphia Station, which is 

 two blocks from Convention hall, where 

 the show is to be held. Arrangements 

 have been made whereby all shipments 

 arriving at that station will be hauled 



to Convention hall at the rate of 15 

 cents per hundred pounds and all ship- 

 ments arriving at other stations will 

 be hauled at the rate of 20 cents per 

 hundred pounds. Packages should be 

 marked ' ' Oberholtzer Transfer. ' ' Ship- 

 ments by Adams Express should be 

 marked "North Philadelphia Station," 

 which is a depot of the express 

 company. 



All arrangements for the show are 

 about completed, and at this date the 

 prospects for the success of the under- 

 taking are particularly bright. 



The show will open at 2 p. m. March 

 25 and the opening ceremonies will 

 take place at 3 p. m. 



Anyone requiring a copy of the final 



schedule can obtain same on applica- 

 tion to the secretary at 53 West 

 Twenty-eighth street. New York city.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



The carnation exhibition at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show at Philadelphia, 

 March 25 to April 2, will be known as 

 the Silver Jubilee exhibition. A spe- 

 cial silver medal has been struck for 

 the occasion and will be awarded to 

 each winner of one or more first pre- 

 miums in the competitive classes. These 

 medals will be given in addition to the 

 regular cash prizes. 



Another feature at this exhibition 

 will be the class for the largest twelve 

 blooms. The Kroeschell Bros, gold 

 medal, valued at $50, will be offered 

 in this class and should bring out an 

 extraordinary display. 



The regular A. C. S. judges will offi- 

 ciate, except in the retailers' section, 

 which will be judged by W. J. Palmer, 

 of Buffalo; W. L. Rock, of Kansas City, 



and F. C. W. Brown, of Cleveland. The 

 regular judges are C. W. Johnson, of 

 Morgan Park, 111.; William Nicholson, 

 of Framingham, Mass.; B. Witter- 

 staetter, of Cincinnati, O.; E. Daille- 

 douze, of Flatbush, N. Y.; E. A. Stroud, 

 of Strafford, Pa.; W. J. Palmer, of 

 Buffalo, N. Y. 



All entries for the carnation exhibit 

 must be in the hands of the secretary 

 not later than March 20. A fine of $2 

 wiU be placed on each entry arriving 

 after that date. Prospective exhibitors 

 will confer a great favor on the cler- 

 ical force by sending in their entries at 

 the earliest possible moment. There is 

 much detail work in connection with 

 an exhibition of this size and nothing 

 should be left that can be done early. 



All members of the A. C S. who have 

 paid their dues for 1916 will be entitled 

 to a season pass to the show. Certifi- 

 cates are being mailed out to those 

 whose dues are paid, which will be ex- 

 changed at the show for the passes. 

 Please send in your dues at once and 

 a certificate will be mailed to you.

BOWLING AT WASHINGTON. 



Washington florists interested in the 

 bowling tournament of the Atlantic 

 Coast Bowling Association, to be held 

 in the national capital, are planning 

 to interest the florist bowlers who will 

 attend the big flower show in Philadel- 

 phia. Florists' night during the tourna- 

 ment is to be made a grand occasion. 

 William F. Qude, of Washington, is 

 president of the Atlantic Coast Bowling 

 Association. Entries in the tournament 

 close March 25 and florists who can par- 

 ticipate should get busy at once. As 

 the Philadelphia show closes April 2 

 and the tournament starts April 3, 

 Florists' day at the national capital 

 could be worked in as a side trip and 

 allow florists to get back to their busi- 

 ness in ample time to care for the 

 Easter rush.
