INTERNATIONAL GARDEN CLUB. 
The outdoor summer show of the Inter- 
national Gar-den Club, the first of its kind 
ever attempted near New York, held at the 
flub grounds, Bartow Mansion. Felham Bay 
Park, from Thursday, June 1 to June 4, 
proved a most successful affair. While the 
exhibits were not as extensive as might have 
been desired, what displays there were, how- 
ever, were of the highest quality, and made 
a very creditable showing. 
Tents were provided on the lawn stretch- 
ing out from the mansion for the groups of 
indoor foliage plants, orchids and cut 
flowers, while scattered about the lawn some 
splendid groups of evergreens were exhibited. 
The attendance was good, with the admis- 
sion at $5 the first day, $1 the second day, 
50 cents the third day, while the last day of 
the show was free to the public. 
The club grounds of the International 
Harden Club oiler a most admirable site 
for an outdoor flower show, and, with more 
time for preparation, another season would 
undoubtedly bring out many more competi- 
tors, both in the commercial and private 
classes.
