Free Space for Foliage Plants. 



The decoration committee is making 

 progress with its plans. Great quan- 

 tities of smilax and laurel are to be 

 used, mainly in draping the large pil- 

 lars, of which there are 100. . On ac- 

 count of the large space to be covered, 

 it has been decided to offer free space 

 for exhibits of decorative foliage 

 plants. Any firms that have palms, 

 crotons, begonias, etc., that they wish 

 to display may secure all the space they 

 may need for that purpose by applying 

 to the hall committee. 



Don 't forget the date of this show, 

 November 13 to 15. Thursday, the first 

 day of the show, will be mum day; Fri- 

 day will be carnation day, and Satur- 

 day will be rose day. 



The full list of committees in charge 

 is as follows: 



Chairman of exlilbltlon committee and repre- 

 sentative of the Ohio Horticultural Society — 

 John Boddy. 



Publicity committee — H. P. Knoble, chairman;

FOECINQ TULIPS. 



I wish to force some tulips. La Reine 

 and Cottage Maid. Will you kindly 

 tell me when I should plant them and 

 when I should bring them into the 

 greenhouse to have them in bloom in 

 January? F. E. S. 



It is getting late to plant tulips for 

 early forcing. Your bulbs should have 



Work of Publicity Committee. 



It will be interesting to see what the 

 publicity committee will be able to do 

 this year in the matter of attendance. 

 Last year the show was held in Gray's 

 Armory, was advertised lightly and 

 drew only a few thousand people per 

 day. This year, with a large new hall, 

 in the center of town, and with lib- 

 eral advertising that is reaching over 

 the entire city, the attendance should 

 be tripled. Large banners are being 

 hung in conspicuous places and 5,000 

 window cards are being displayed 

 throughout the business section. Pen- 

 nants for delivery wagons and stickers 

 for all cut flower packages are being 

 used heavily. And, to top it all off, there 

 is Flower Show park, for that is what 

 the vacant lot directly in front of the 

 coliseum, and facing Euclid avenue, 

 has been christened. 



Flower Show Park. 



The Storrs & Harrison Co., of Faines- 

 ville, O., has donated a carload of ever- 

 greens for the planting of this park, 

 and, with the model greenhouse re- 

 cently given to the Florists' Club by 

 the John C. Moninger Co., of Chicago, a 

 unique setting has been arranged, which 

 is attracting thousands of people daily. 

 The greenhouse is electric-heated and 

 electric-lighted, and is full of pompon 

 mums and ferns. Billboards have been 

 erected in a prominent position on the 

 rear of the lot, and a pergola has been 

 erected to add to the general effect. 

 The Cleveland Plaindealer had a long 

 article in its real estate section last 

 week, telling o^land on Euclid av^^e, 

 worth $5,000 a front foot, being uSed ' 

 to grow evergreens — and why they were 



f rowing there, namely, to advertise the 

 ower show.
