HINTS TO COMPETITORS 



Gladioli bulbs planted June 1st to 20th according to the variety should 

 give you good blooms for our Gladioli Show in August. 



Dahlia tubers planted June 1st to 15th and Dahlia plants, set out from 

 June 10th to 20th should give exhibition blooms at the time of our Dahlia 

 Show in late September. 



Some of our members are very successful in growing the large so-called 

 hot house Chrysanthemums out of doors, protecting them on frosty nights, 

 with glass, canvas and other coverings. Why not purchase a few plants and 

 exhibit your blooms at our Chrysanthemum Show which will be held in late 

 October.
