ON FORMING A GARDEN CLUB 



for the morning before the show — two water- 

 pitchers, tacks, hammers, string, wooden plates, 

 and sphagnum moss, if needed for exhibition trays. 

 On the morning of the exhibition have fountain 

 pens, extra name-cards and envelopes, and sched- 

 ules for each member of all committees and ex- 

 hibitors. 



Don't fail to see that badges for all committees 

 are on hand, and ask all members to wear them. 



Don't fail to wear old clothes and an apron with 

 pockets. 



Don't be too busy to take the judges aside a 

 few minutes before they judge, and go carefully 

 over the rules in your schedule. No two sets of 

 judges have the same rules for judging, and they 

 like to have yours explained. Have a small com- 

 mittee of women go around with judges to open 

 name cards of winners, and, wherever you can, be 

 lenient about throwing out exhibits. Remember 

 it may be the fault of your own committee that the 

 exhibits are not counted or placed correctly. 



Don't open the windows on the windward side 

 of the hall. Wind and direct sun ruin exhibits. 



Don't fail to go back to the hall in the after- 

 noon, and have some of your committee present. 

 There will be numerous questions to be answered,
