PREPAKE FOR CLEVELAND SHOW. 



The work of preparation for the fifth 

 national flower show is being vigorously 

 pushed. The cut flower schedule has 

 been prepared; the premiums cov- 

 ering the rose section were published 

 last week and those in the carnation 

 section appear in this week's issue. 



Space in the trade section is being 

 taken up satisfactorily. Among those 

 who have recently made reservations 

 are L. C. Stroh & Sons, Batavia, N. Y.; 

 Joseph G. Neidinger Co., Philadelphia, 

 Pa.; Florists' Exchange, N. Y.; Henry 

 A. Dreer, Inc., Riverton, N. J.; Carl 

 Hagenburger, West Mentor, O., and B. 

 Hammond Tracy, Wenham, Mass. 



The official guide to the show is now 

 under way, and there has been a nice 

 response to the requests for trade pat- 

 ronage in the advertising section. The 

 publication will be fully up to the stand- 

 ard of its predecessors, replete with 

 information of value to lovers of flow- 

 ers and plants.

FLORIST'S SWIMMING POOL. 



Speaking of remembering the kids, I 

 guess Uncle Joe has not forgotten his 

 old swimmin' hole days! At one end of 

 a new greenhouse erected by Joseph 

 Thomas, at Greensburg, Pa., is a large 

 swimming pool, approximately 20x80 



feet, with a depth of seven feet at its 

 lowest point. An up-to-date dressing 

 room is also provided. When ques- 

 tioned regarding the advisability of the 

 investment, Mr. Thomas remarked, 

 "Bring your bathing suit next time and 

 see for yourself." 



Certain specified days are set aside 

 for the boys and girls of the neighbor- 

 hood to enjoy Uncle Joe's hospitality. 

 The greenhouse hands also enjoy a 

 plunge in the pure mountain water of 

 the pool. 



In the new greenhouse, ferns, rubber 

 plants, palms, hydrangeas, cyclamens 

 and other decorative plants of superior 

 quality are to be seen.
