NEW YORK SHOW

INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



March 13 to 19. 



At this stage, a little less than three 

 weeks from the opening date, arrange- 

 ments for the ninth international 

 flower show are practically completed. 

 The members of the flower show com- 

 mittee, resting from their labors cover- 

 ing several months, are congratulating 

 themselves upon having projected a 

 show which shall not only equal the 

 finest flower show hitherto staged in the 

 Grand Central palace, but in many re- 

 spects will eclipse the record. 



Manager Arthur Hcrrington's plans 

 show a material change in the layout 

 of the exhibition, a change which will 

 increase the picturesque effect consid- 

 erably. There are to be five big groups, 

 or gardens, four of them in locations 

 similar to those set apart for the grand 

 displays at the last show. The exhibitors 

 will be F. R. Pierson, Tarrytown, N. Y. ; 

 A. N. Picr.son, Inc.; Cromwell Gardens, 

 Cromwell, Conn.; Bobbink & Atkins, 

 Eutherford, N. J., and Julius Eoehrs 

 Co., Rutherford, N. J. The fifth large 

 exhibit is to be staged by Wadley & 

 Smythe, New York, and will be central- 

 ly located, the layout including a for- 

 mal garden, with walks lined with 

 orange trees. Last year there were only 

 four large groups. 



In the final schedule of premiums, 

 sent out a week or two ago, it was er- 

 roneously, due to a misunderstanding, 

 mentioned that in addition to the spe- 

 cial gold medals to be awarded in the 

 big group class, the Garden Club of 

 America offered a gold medal for the 



most artistic and practical exhibit in 

 the class. The Garden Club does offer 

 a gold medal, but it is to be awarded 

 for the most artistic and practical ex- 

 hibit in the show. Exhibitors will please 

 take note of this correction. 



It is expected that all the other large 

 exhibit classes will be well filled. In 

 fact, from a survey of entries assured, 

 there will not be a foot of space avail- 

 able for such exhibits unfilled. 



Stagings. 



There will be two stagings of cut roses 

 during the week of the show, one Tues- 

 day, March 14, the other Friday, 

 March 17. This is to insure that the 

 public, always greatly interested in the 

 roses, shall have flowers in good condi- 

 tion to view throughout the show. The 

 big displays of cut roses to cover each 

 ."^OO square feet of space will be staged 

 Wednesday, March 15. 



Carnations in all the classes set apart 

 for them will be staged Thursday, 

 March 16. Rwcet pea day will be Fri- 

 day, March 17. 



All plants, both flowering and foliage, 

 including rose and orchid plants, will 

 be staged the first day, March 13. 



Table decoration classes will have 

 their stagings on five days this year, 

 leaving out Tuesday and Sunday, but 

 ther6 are no competitive classes for 

 commorcinl exhibitors. 



A. Frylink & Sons, Sassenheim, Hol- 

 land, who offer prizes in class 168 of 

 the final schedule, have amended the 

 class description to read as follows: 

 Collection of tulips and narcissi, twelve 

 flowers in a vase; twelve varieties sin- 

 gle early tulips; twelve varieties Dar- 



win tulips; ten varieties Breeder tu- 

 lips; narcissi, twelve varieties Trumpet 

 daffodils; twelve varieties cup or crown 

 narcissi, varieties incomparabilis, Barrii, 

 Leedsii and poeticus; first prize, $75; 

 second prize, $50; third prize, $25. 



An important feature of the show 

 will be the section in which are the ex- 

 hibits staged by the Garden Club of 

 America. The club's classes are open 

 only to its own members and members 

 of its affiliating bodies, but considerable 

 competition is expected and entries have 

 already been received from distant 

 points, including one from a club in 

 Lake Forest, 111. There are four classes 

 to be filled, one covering a Japanese 

 arrangement, another a miniature gar- 

 den, a third a dinner table decoration, 

 and the fourth a simple cottage or bun- 

 galow luncheon table decoration. 



There will be a tea garden, as usual, 

 conducted under the patronage of the 

 Garden Club of America, for the bene- 

 fit of the Girl Scouts and the Virginia 

 Day Nursery. In connection with the 

 tea garden, and in an adjoining room, 

 will be held a fashion show, under the 

 direction of Lucile, Ltd., opening at 3:30 

 and 4:30 o'clock every afternoon. Danc- 

 ing will be a feature in the fashion 

 show room every afternoon from 5 to 7 

 'clock. 



The Trade EzMbition. 



The. space set apart for trade exhibits 

 has been pretty well taken; in fact, 

 little is at this time unreserved. Pro- 

 spective exhibitors desirous of making 

 reservations should make applications 

 for space immediately. 



The official program is now in course 

 of preparation and it will prove to be 

 of the usual high ordpr of excellence. 

 The secretary will be pleased to hear 

 from horticultural supply houses who 

 wish to be represented in the advertis- 

 ing pages of the book, a publication 

 which is preserved by all who receive 

 it as a work of horticultural reference. 



Trade tickets are now ready for dis- 

 tribution. They are supplied at the fol- 

 lowing rates: In quantities of fifty to 

 100 at 50 cents each, and in quantities 

 of 100 or more at 40 cents each. These 

 prices include the war tax, and the 

 price of the general admission, $1, is 

 printed on them. Purchasers of blocks 

 of 100 or more will be entitled to a re- 

 fund of the price paid for all unused 

 tickets, a check for same being mailed 

 after the show, as soon as ticket ac- 

 counts can be determined. 



Trade tickets are supplied upon ap- 

 plication at the offices of the Interna- 

 tional Exposition Co., Canadian Pacific 

 building, 342 Madison avenue, New 

 York, and cannot be purchased else- 

 where. Checks must accompany all or- 

 ders. John Young, Sec'y.
