PRIZES 



The Society commenced to offer prizes in 1924 for superior 

 examples of horticultural skill and care. In 1925 these took the 

 form of tasteful medals in gold, silver, and bronze, which will be 

 continued in 1926. Competition for prizes is restricted to mem- 

 bers in good standing for two months preceding the Show. It is 

 hoped that with a larger membership it may be possible this year 

 to offer prizes for Roses and Gladioli as well as for Dahlias and 

 Chrysanthemums. The cost of the prizes heretofore given has been 

 in part defrayed by private donors, R. D. H. Vroom, Sheldon J. 

 Pardee, F. D. Drake, Joseph Pfluger, Anton J. Neumann. 



HINTS TO COMPETITORS 



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

 should R-ive 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 b'ooms at our Chrysan- 

 themum Show which will be held in late October.
