80 that visitors will be able to reach 

 the nursery easily. Invitations have 

 been mailed to the trade and the public. 

 There is a special feature of unusual 

 interest .l regard to this show. Last 

 season boxes of flowers were given 

 away to all visitors. This courtesy was 

 abused, so this season a different plan 

 has been adopted. The house of Dreer 

 will give its dahlias and other flowers 

 without reserve, but it will give thorn 

 cnly to a committee, of which Mrs. 

 James Starr, Jr., is chairman, repre- 

 senting the Martha Washington Memo- 

 rial at Valley Forge, which has ap- 

 pointed seventy patronesses and sev- 

 enty aids to sell the flowers. There 

 will be marquees where visitors may 

 rest after seeing the fields of bloom, 

 where they may make their selections 

 of flowers and be refreshed with tea. 

 Every arrangement is complete and 

 good weather will insure a large attend- 

 ance.
