The following cups and medals have 

 been promised in addition to the fore- 

 going prizes: Four silver cups, two 

 gold medals, six silver medals and five 

 bronze medals, besides $15 worth of 

 bulbs. 



The Special Prizes. 



This does not take into account any 

 prizes that will be received by the 

 American Rose Society, the Sweet Pea 

 Society, the Carnation Society, the Gla- 

 diolus Society, etc. 



As there has been some friction in 

 previous exhibitions over the special 

 prizes, the different societies turning in 

 a list of special premiums will receive 

 these premiums aiid be responsible for 

 their being paid dit to the proper par- 

 ties. Each society may also appoint its 

 own judges for its own section, men 

 who are familiar with the product and 

 who will be able to render the most ac- 

 curate judgment. The flower show com- 

 mittee feels that each society should be 

 allowed its own latitude in its own de- 



Eartment and, with everyone working 

 armoniously to the same end, the Third 

 National Flower Show should be by far 

 the greatest we have ever held. These 

 exhibitions are going to do more to affil- 

 iate the different societies with the S. 

 A. F. than any other scheme I know of. 

 If the business idea is kept promi- 

 nently in mind, every florist in this 

 broad land will be benefited directly or 

 indirectly and the florists' business, as 

 a business, will begin to receive the rec- 

 ognition to which it is now fully en- 

 titled. "Cooperation, not competition, 

 is the life of modern business," and 

 these exhibitions will eventually become 

 80 great a factor in the florists' indus- 

 try that no live florist can afford to 

 ignore them or not be represented. 



National, Not Sectional. 



While the present show is to be held 

 in New York, I do not want any mem- 

 ber of the S. A. F. to run away with 

 the idea that only the members in the 

 vicinity of. New York should stand- re- 



Sonsible. This is the Third National 

 ower Show of the whole S. A. F., and 

 every member should feel some direct 

 personal interest therein. The recent 

 show in London was such a stimulant 

 to horticulture in that section that not 

 a few of the firms who had space in 

 that exhibition are making inquiries re- 

 garding price for space in the exhibi- 

 tion in New York. The managers of 

 the International Exhibition Co. con- 

 aider these foreign inquiries of such im- 

 portance that they are having their for- 

 tiipi representative in London work up 



The Florists' Review 



AirousT 22, i&12. 



the matter, creating interest and ar- 

 ranging for a complete entry of foreign 

 exhibits. 



When the foreign exhibitor is so in- 

 terested, how much more should the 

 American look to his own market I 



Every man who has anything to sell 

 to the public — and who among us has 

 nott — will find that it will be to his 

 advantage to be represented by taking 

 as much space as he can and also ex- 

 hibiting in the competitive classes, for 

 New York and its vicinity furnish the 

 greatest buying market of horticultural 

 products in the world today.

Secretary's OfBlce.

The work of the secretary has been 

 very interesting and fascinating. 



I desire to thank publicly the oflBcers 

 and members of the society who have 

 assisted me at all timed with their ad- 

 vice and good council, which has xnade 

 the work so much lighter and more 

 pleasant.

When the men's individuals were

 gan to warm up. It was like old times, 

 when bowling was more popular than it 

 has been the last few years. There was 

 a larger number of contestants than in 

 recent years, the refreshments were 

 abundant, the rooters enthusiastic and 

 the interest high. The following are
