Don't fail to order everything needed for pub- 

 licity work, information for the papers, invitation 

 cards, colored tags, and red and blue prize ribbons 

 or prize cards, fully a month before show. 



Don't think seeing one proof is enough. See 

 the last proof the day the schedule is printed. 



Don't forget to count your vases or containers, 

 and be sure you have enough. The number needed 

 differs each year according to your schedule. 



Don't fail to see that the green covering for the 

 exhibition tables is in good condition, at least

 rats may have destroyed it, and it may take some 

 time to procure more of the same color. 



Don't store your papier-mache vases inside each 

 other when wet. Next year's chairman will need 

 hammers to loosen them.

 the hall. The flowers, when put in place, are dec- 

 oration enough.

 rain are sure to ruin it. 



Don't forget to provide the following articles
