The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 9. 1922 



chairman of the out-of-town exhibits 

 committee, has received reports from 

 many of the larger centers, which indi- 

 cate that large shipments of exhibits 

 may be expected. Mr. Mann recently 

 toured the upper part of Ohio and the 

 region about Pittsburgh in the interest 

 of the flower show. He obtained entries 

 from a large number of florists. Nu- 

 merous Indiana flower growers who had 

 not entered for the Cleveland show have 

 announced that they will bring exhibits 

 to Indianapolis. 



The transportation committee has an- 

 nounced that steam roads have put in 

 effect for florists a reduced rate of one 

 and one-half times a single fare for the 

 round trip to Indianapolis from any 

 point in the United States and Canada. 

 Indiana interurban lines will sell round- 

 trip tickets to the general public during 

 the week of the exposition on the basis 

 of one and one-half times a single 

 way fare. Negotiations are now under 

 way for a similar reduced fare for the 

 general public on steam lines operating 

 within the state. 



The fact that the week selected for 

 the national flower show coincides with 

 the spring vacation period in Indiana 

 schools, when hundreds of school teach- 

 ers from all parts of the state will b8 in 

 Indianapolis for the semiannual insti- 

 tute, as well as the fact that thousands 

 of children of school age on vacation will 

 be able to take advantage of reduced 

 fares, assures a capacity attendance at 

 the exposition. 



Some Important Exhibits. 



According to reports received by Ir- 



win Bertermann, chairman of the execu- 

 tive committee, A. L. Miller, of Jamaica, 

 N. Y., past-president of the S. A. F., will 

 bring an exhibit of flowering plants to

 ris, of Philadelphia, will bring a car lot 

 of palms and specimen ferns. F. E. 

 Pierson, of Tarrytown, N. Y., who has a 

 splendid collection of fancy ferns, will

Efforts are being made by the flower 

 show management to induce Roy F. Wil- 

 cox and Howard & Smith, of Los An- 

 geles, and the MacRorie-McLaren Co., 

 of San Mateo, Cal., to send a carload of 

 ericas, and to have E. B. "Washburn, of 

 Pasadena, enter an exhibit of palms.- 



The national flower show management 

 has received word that there will be an

An added attraction for the aquarium

 apolis, is chairman, is making attractive

 there are to be the finest displays of 

 roses, carnations, sweet peas, etc.

Trade Tickets. 



Charles Pahud, of Indianapolis, chair- 

 man of the admission committee, an- 

 nounces that special trade tickets wiil 

 be offered in multiples of 100, which wiil 

 be available to members of the trade at 

 one-half the regular price of admission; 

 namely, 25 cents each, which includes 

 the tax, or $25 per hundred. 



The national flower show committee 

 has agreed to offer a limited number oi' 

 these trade tickets for the benefit of the 

 trade and large organizations through 

 out the country. 



Judging from inquiries already re 

 .ceived, the number of trade tickets an 

 thorized will be readily taken up, and 

 the amount exhausted within a few days 

 after their release. 



Chairman Pahud has planned to re- 

 lease the trade tickets about March 9 

 and urges all in the trade desiring such 

 tickets to place their orders now. 

 Checks must accompany all orders, ad-

Points Worth Noting, 



It is the aim of the information com- 

 mittee to give the best possible service 

 to the visiting florists at the fifth na- 

 tional flower show. 



The registration desk, where all mem- 

 bers of the trade are asked to register, 

 will be in the trade exhibition building. 



In addition, there will be an informa- 

 tion desk in the flower show building, 

 where those in attendance will be pre- 

 pared to handle mail, lost and found 

 articles; make announcements as to spe- 

 cial features, take care of show card 

 writing, etc. They will have time-tables 

 of all railroads and traction lines out of 

 Indianapolis. They will be provided 

 with a list of the local florists, whether 

 retailers or growers, and will have in- 

 formation as to how to reach their 

 places. Besides the men at the desks, 

 there will be several members of the 

 committee scattered about the hall at all 

 times, prepared to give any information 

 as to the exhibits and exhibitors. 



A booklet is being prepared by private 

 interests, which will be made use of by 

 the committee. It will contain a map 

 of the city, information on street car 

 service, traction time-tables and direc- 

 tions for reaching the fair grounds, 

 where the show is to be held. Attrac- 

 tions at the various theaters during the 

 week of the show will be listed, as well 

 as places of interest in the city. These 

 booklets will be distributed at hotels, 

 ticket offices, etc.
