95 Degrees HOT Now — 



-10 Degrees COLD December 



It's hard to think of cold weather tasks when the mercury is flirting 

 around 100. But remember — the greenhouse that is tight — that 

 has its heating system amply and properly arranged — is the one 

 which will be warm at 1 degrees below zero.

BETTER BUILT 

 AND HEATED 



GREENHOUSES 



Are built to keep plants at just the right temperature. They are 

 tight to start and stay tight — The heating is planned by expert 

 heating engineers who have had years of experience in green- 

 house work. And the ventilation is scientifically arranged 

 and placed. You will do well to figure on a Foley House.

NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



Growers of flowers and plants are 

 urged to do what they can toward as- 

 sisting the national flower show com- 

 mittee to make the fifth national flower 

 show, to be held at Cleveland, March 

 25 to April 1, 1922, the biggest exposi- 

 tion of floricultural products ever 

 staged in this country. 



The preliminary schedule of premi- 

 ums covering flowering and foliage 

 plants embraces a number of classes 

 for which stock could be grown, involv- 

 ing little more attention than one 

 would ordinarily give to subjects. Many 

 items are within the possibilities of 

 hundreds of members of the S. A. F. 

 Even if an exhibit should not take a 

 prize, there would be the pleasure and 

 satisfaction of having helped in making 

 up the big show. The cut flower sched- 

 ule will provide like opportunities for 

 assistance. It is a "national," not a 

 "local" show, and a good territorial 

 representation will go a long way to- 

 ward boosting the florist's industry. 



Never, before were such prize offers 

 made as some scheduled for this show. 

 The grand capital prize of $5,000 is, 

 perhaps, the most important. This 

 calls for "the best development of a 

 garden covering 1,000 square feet," a 

 garden in which there is no limit to the 

 artistic ability of an exhibitor, either 

 as to planting, arrangement, or the use 

 of accessories. Already three entries 

 are promised in this class. Another 

 class calls for ' ' a display of rose plants 

 arranged as a garden covering 500 

 square feet." The sum of $2,250 is 

 the premium apportionment to this 

 class. Still another class calls for "a 

 display of bulbs, etc., arranged as a 



bulb garden covering 500 square feet, 

 appropriate accessories permitted," 

 and $800 is offered in this class. 



The classes mentioned will all be 

 filled, but there will be urgent need of 

 small exhibits, hence this appeal to our 

 members to do what they can to swell 

 the aggregation of exhibits. 



Copies of the plant schedule may be 

 obtained upon application to the secre- 

 tary. The cut flower schedule will be 

 published a little later on. Get a copy 

 of the former at once, and see what you 

 can do in the way of assistance. 



Floor plans covering the trade sec- 

 tion at the national flower show are 

 now being mailed. Prospective exhib- 

 itors requiring further information can 

 have same on application to the secre- 

 tary. John Young, Sec'y. 



IT'S A FAIRY LILY. 



Will you give me some information 

 regarding the bulb and bloom which I 

 am sending? To my mind it is an 

 amaryllis flower. F. S. — Ala. 



The specimen is zephyranthes, prob- 

 ably variety carinata, commercially 

 called fairy lily. It belongs to the 

 natural order, amaryllidacece. It needs 

 to be well protected in winter, when 

 not lifted and stored. C. W. 



Lake Qeneva, Wis. — The Lake Ge- 

 neva Gardeners' and Foremen's Asso- 

 ciation will meet the first Saturday in 

 each month until October, and from Oc- 

 tober to May will meet the first and 

 third Saturdays of each month. The 

 secretary of the association is William 

 M. Kennon.
