INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



Only Five Weeks Away. 



With five weeks intervening between 

 tlic present and the opening date of the 

 big New York show, March 14, arrange- 

 ments as regards both coinjietitive and 

 trade exhibits arc wonderfully complete 

 in all the main details. The big private 

 estates are this year taking more than 

 ordinary interest in the exhibition, and 

 the group disjdays jiromise to be finer 

 than at any ])revious show. Among 

 those who are ])reparing extensive ex- 

 hibits are: Payne Whitney, Manhasset, 

 L. I.; Adolph Lcwisohn, Ardsley, N. Y. ; 

 Daniel Guggenheim, Sands Point, Ij. I.; 

 W. B. Thompson, Yonkers, N. Y., and 

 Mrs. F. A. Constable, .Nramaroneck, 

 N. Y. 



Entries for every one of the larger 

 classes are in hand. There is always a 

 doubt as to the jmssibility of filling a 

 class as big, for instance, as Class l?.'), 

 which calls for an exhi])it showing the 

 best dcveloi)inent of a garden covering 

 1,000 square feet. The display may in- 

 clude lawns, flower beds, rose gardens, 

 shrubbery borders, rose beds, bulb 

 beds, or anything else an artistic ex- 

 hibitor may suggest, kee])ing, of course, 

 within the garden idea. Four entries 

 have already been received for this 

 class and, as competition is likely to be 

 keen, some magnificent displays, such as 

 never seen at any previous show or, 

 indeed, at any show in America, may 

 be expected. The class carries an ap- 

 propriation of $4,000 for awards, and a

Special Classes. 



One or two no\elty cl;isses are fea- 

 tured this year. There is a class for 

 a bird bath, with ii jilanting arrange- 

 iiuMit at base not to exceed three feet 

 ill diameter. This class, whiidi is open 

 t(i ;J1, does not a]i])ear in the official 

 final schedule, but is an extra, the prize 

 for which is offered by the Garden Club 

 of America. 



Another extra class is to be known 

 as the Window Box class. This also 

 i.s /(n open class, and should jiarticularly 

 ract florists. The public generally

 especially that portion of it having 

 house fronts but no gardens. It has 

 been arranged that the window boxes 

 staged in this class be given the utmost 

 l)rominence; in fact, it is practically 

 decided to jdnco them upon the ledges 

 about the stairways of the principal 

 entrance, thus insuring that all visitors 

 shall see them. 



A third extra feature is one which,
