Trade Exhibits. 



The secretary has prepared a floor 

 plan covering the area set apart for 

 the trade exhibits, and copies of it will 

 be distributed shortly. It must be borne 

 in mind that the space rental, $1.75 per 

 square foot, will include railing, back- 

 ground and the official sign. It is the 

 idea of the committee to have the ex- 

 hibits at this show uniform in appear- 

 ance, to enhance the decorative effect 

 of the show. At other shows the irreg- 

 ular appearance of the trade exhibits 

 has greatly marred the beauty created 

 by the competitive exhibits, resulting in 

 criticism which should not be forthcom- 

 ing at any show inaugurated by florists. 



Considerable interest is already 

 shown in the competition for the grand 

 capital prize, several entries already be- 



ing promised. At the next meeting of 

 the committee, regulations as to dimen- 

 sions of exhibits will bo decided upon, 

 and opening and closing dates for en- 

 tries fixed. It is expected that a meet- 

 ing of the local executive committee 

 will be held in Cleveland within the 

 next two or three weeks, at which the 

 chairman and secretary of the national 

 flower show committee will be present. 

 Much important business will be trans- 

 acted at this meeting.

A WORLD TOUR FOR FLORISTS. 



Ralph M. Ward's Proposal. 



The late Ralph M. Ward visited .so 

 many places of more than ordinary, in- 

 terest to florists during his last trip to 



worlil itfter the war," he wrott' in dis- 

 closing liis plan, "as there' are many 

 important j)laces, Iiorticulttirally, to 

 visit. Get 100 or more good fellows 

 interested and chavtcv a steamer (t'or the 

 journey. There are ])lenty of florists 

 who could well afl'ord it and siudi u trip 

 would be instructive to them .•ind of 

 great benefit to the trade. ' ' 



Mr. Ward made out an itinerary for 

 such a trip. It is as follows: 



California. 



Honolulu. 



Japan. 



China. 



Celebes. 



Java. 



•Straits Settlements, with a side trip, to Siara. 



Rangoon (Burma). ' ■ 



(,'alcutfa. 



Ceylon. _ . 



Through the Suez canal to ll;ily. 



Through Europe and then to New yurk. 



During Mr. Ward's trip he visited 

 many botanical gardens, florists, nurs- 

 erymen and experiment farms from 

 Siberia down the coast, through . India 

 and in Java. 



"Perhaps due to the war., many Eng- 

 lish gardens are sadly neglected this 

 year," said Mr. Ward, "In Singa- 

 pore the director of the gardens was 

 drilling when 1 got there. Everything 

 there was war. In Calcutta. it was the 

 same. The gardens in Freneli Cochin 

 China at Saigon were in a little •l)etter 

 shape. 



Tropical Gardens of Java. 



"But at Buiteiisprg, Java, they were 

 grand, of course, as they are the finest 

 tropical gardens in the world. There arc 

 also, in connection with the gardens, 

 museums, a herbarium, a library and 

 several laboratories always open ■ to 

 those interested, while one of tli,em is 

 set aside for the use of visiting biolo- 

 gists fpr research work. Befsidps, there 

 is a fine collection of reptiles and in- 

 sect?. As the gardens are exactly 100 

 years old, tlie great variety of trees and 

 palms can be seen at their best. The 

 gardens are classified well- and every- 

 thing is plainly labeled. There also is a 

 fine collection of orchids, some of them 

 with as many as 3,000 flowers, twined 

 around the big trees. ■ •

the Orient and to Asia, that when he 

 returned he proposed that the member.s 

 of the trade make a siniilar journey. 



"I think the S. A. F. or someone 

 should arrange for a trip around the 



••Business all over the Orient was 

 good. One can sell anything he can get 

 boats to take there."
