Great Horticultural Meeting in New York 



T^HIS year sees the Thirty-third Annual 

 ■*■ Convention and Trade Exhibition of the 

 Society of American Florists in New York. 

 There are two phases of attraction to the 

 public: The regular trade exhibit which will 

 be held in the Grand Cen- 

 tral Palace, New York City, 

 August 2ist to 23rd, where 

 also the principle sessions 

 of the Society will take 

 place. Simultaneously there 

 will be the Convention Gar- 

 den for which purpose the 

 attractive location has been 

 accorded by the Director of 

 the New York Botanical 

 Garden in Bronx Park. 

 The display here consists of 

 exhibits of growing plants 

 established well in advance 

 of the Convention and 

 which form a more or less 

 permanent display. 



The accompanying map 

 shows definitely the loca- 

 tion of the various exhibits, 

 and by reference to the key 

 numbers the visitor can 

 readily ascertain the nature 

 of the various displays. In conjunction with 

 this organization there are also meetings of 

 various affiliated associations, and in particu- 

 lar the Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the 

 American Gladiolus Society, when the excep- 

 tionally valuable prize list is offered in this 

 division. 



The garden lovers visiting New York dur- 

 ing the period of the Convention will be amply 

 repaid by a visit to the Convention Garden as 



they will there see a demonstration in growing 

 specimens naturally planted of many of the 

 novelties of plants and flowers in season. 



Further particulars concerning the Na- 

 tional organization can be obtained from 

 John Young, Secretary, 53 West 28th Street; 

 in connection with the Gladiolus Exhibit 

 from Henry Youell, Cedar Street, Syracuse, 

 Secretary of the American Gladiolus Society.

 merce, the Portland Floral Society, The Ro-
