NINTH 



JRNATIONAL SHOW. 



Favored by Weather and Finance. 



The weather man certainly favored 

 New York's flower show week, as at 

 no time was there bad weather to deter 

 the crowds of visitors. 



From a financial point of view the 

 show was a huge success. When, on the 

 first day, only a partial day, and usually 

 slow at that, the gate receipts beat the 

 best day of last year's show, the man- 

 agement were greatly cheered, and 

 thereafter the view of blockading con- 

 ditions around the various box offices 

 removed all thoughts of an ill-boding 

 character. It is believed that the ulti- 

 mate reports will show that the ninth 

 international has been the best of the 

 series. 



The Eeview was able to give in last 

 week's issue all the awards made up to 

 and including Wednesday, March 15. 

 Thursday, March 16, was Carna- 

 tion day, and the commercial exhibits 

 were creditable. There were, of course, 

 few new varieties presented in the htag- 

 ings, but the quality of the exhibits was 

 of the usual exhibition kind. The Lad- 

 die of S. J. Goddard, Framingham, 

 Mass., was exceptionally fine, and the 

 sneak thieves, always in evidence at the 

 closing hours of a show day, did not 

 fail to notice this.
