HAARLEM JUBILEE PLOVER SHOW 



The complete schedule has now been 

 published for the jubilee flower show at 

 Haarlem in 1910. It is a volume of 

 eighty pages, in the Dutch language,^ be- 

 cause the competition is only open to 

 Dutch exhibitors. It is expected that 

 many special prizes of honor will be 

 given by patrons, societies, etc. The 

 awards offered in the schedule are sev- 

 enty-five golden medals and about 2,500 

 other prizes. The judges will be chosen 

 among the horticulturists of all nations. 



The permanent show in the open (from 

 March 23 to May 16), according to the 

 schedule, will consist of 200 classes for 

 beds and groups of hyacinths, tulips, 

 narcissi, crocuses and other bulbous 

 plants, herbaceous perennials, rockeries, 

 conifers, aucubas, azaleas and rhododen- 

 drons, buxiis, ilex, prunus, and other 

 shrubs. 



The first special show, March 23 to 31, 

 will contain 275 classes, principally for 

 hyacinths, tulips, narcissi, crocuses, ama- 

 ryllis and other bulbous plants in pots. 

 A special feature Avill be the class for 

 bulbs and plants, retarded in ico, and 

 there are also important classes for Aza- 

 lea mollis and rhododendrons, roses, lilacs 

 and other forced shrubs, stove and green- 

 house plants and cut flowers. 



The second special show, April 15 to 

 24, will have 300 classes of the same 

 general character as those of the first 

 show, but the third special show. May 

 4 to 12, will not aft'ord an opportunity 

 for showing hyacinths, but will probably 

 have the character of a special show of 

 orchids and decorative floral art. 



The regular meetings of the commit- 

 tee judging new bulbous plants will also 

 be held in the show buildings every week. 



The permanent exhibition in the open 

 will doubtless be of the highest interest 

 to foreign visitors, and although the ar- 

 tistic and suitable arrangement of bulb- 

 ous stuflF is a rather difficult task, there 

 is every chance of obtaining good results, 

 because four local exhibitions of the same 

 nature have been organized before in the 

 bulb district. The Noorduijk section of 

 the Bulb Growers ' Society did so twice 

 sotne years ago, the Sasaenheim section 

 quite recently, and the Hillegom section is 

 this season preparing a local show, which
