FLOWEBS IN EXHIBITIONS. 



Commenting on the discussion by 

 Thomas Allen, vice-presicjent o£ the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, on 

 the arrangement of flowers in public 

 exhibits, printed in The Eeview April 

 28, the editor of the Gardeners' Chron- 

 icle, London, remarks: 



"So far as exhibitions in this coun- 

 try are concerned, there has been dur- 

 ing the last few years a marked im- 

 provement from the point of view of 

 artistic display. Serried ranks of 

 magnificently opulent blooms are rarer, 

 and spacing and variety are more fre- 

 quently practiced. A great stylist once 

 observed to an exuberant writer, 'You 

 have no idea how it informs your style 

 to leave out every other word.' Sub- 

 stitute plant for word and we have a 

 golden rule for exhibitors. 



"The critic, however, who has noth- 

 ing to offer but condemnation is a use- 

 less person anywhere. The arrange- 

 ment of plants in an exhibition is a 

 peculiarly diificult art. Limitation of 

 space and unnatural conditions are the 

 chief difficulties; another which escapes 

 the merely artistic person is that gar- 

 deners do not grow plants only for the 

 purpose of making a scheme of garden 

 decoration, but because they love the 

 beauty of form and color of the indi- 

 vidual plant. Hence the exhibitor has 

 to make up his mind which he wants to 



do, to display each individsBl plaai t» 

 the best advantage, or to produce a gen- 

 eral effect. The ideal display, of course, 

 succeeds in doing both and there are 

 some exhibitors who possess this rare 

 gift and who, as it were, 'touch noth- 

 ing which they do not adorn,' by their 

 skillful disposition of their subjects. 



"The well known and frequently 

 practiced device of interspersing foli- 

 age with flowering plants cannot, how- 

 ever, always be practiced. A display 

 of Primula sinensis, for example, or of 

 cyclamens, would, to our thinking, not 

 be improved, but spoiled, if the indi- 

 vidual plants were separated by ferns 

 or smilax. In such a display the object 

 is to beguile the eye with the beauty 

 of the mass of flowers, and for this pur- 

 pose numerous plants in almost un- 

 broken succession must be staged. The 

 word 'almost' should, however, be 

 noted and in such a case the exhibitor's 

 problem is to introduce some delicate 

 and scarcely perceptible adjunct which, 

 while not breaking the main effect, will 

 give just that measure of almost im- 

 perceptible relief which will enhance 

 the mass effect. 



"Another fact which is to be borne 

 in mind is that exhibitors put up dis- 

 plays not only to charm the eye of 

 visitors but to attract their custom. 

 The landscape gardener can afford to 

 be sparing with his subjects and to 

 space them widely, but the nurseryman 

 must make an imposing exhibit in a 

 limited space and cannot therefore af- 

 ford to be too lavish with it. Even 

 these few and slight observations will 

 suffice to show that the art of exhibit- 

 ing is not so simple as the looker-on 

 might think, and perhaps they may 

 suffice also to indicate that clearer 

 thinking as to the object and nature 

 of the display might lead to further 

 improvement in the art of exhibiting."

 tremely warm weather.
