added grace and dignity, with its strong, tall upstanding stalks of 
bloom; Alice Tiplady harmonizes perfectly in a yellow and orange 
border, being contemporaneous with and nearly an exact match to 
the tall tiger and Batemanni lilies, and may be varied by clumps of 
Blue Jay which adds color and charm to the various shades. Pink 
Perfection is so nearly the shade ol Elizabeth Campbell phlox, that 
they seem made to grow side by side; while for an earlier bloom, the 
pretty Httle Pink Beauty answers well with the same Phlox, whose 
flowering period extends over many weeks. Among the other shades 
of pink Phlox, Baron Hulot, Badenia, Conspicuous and Hortense are 
lovely, as are these same shades with Niagara in groups of six or more 
planted among white Physostegia and early white Phlox. America is 
good grown with pale pink and white Asters, pink annual Lupin, 
and if one is fortunate enough to secure just the right shade, pale 
pink Zinnia, a lovely combination results, but confession must be 
made that only once has this eflfect been a success.

International Flower Show 
The Eighth International Flower Show in the Grand Central 
Palace, New York, opens March 14th and continues until March 20th. 
The plans that have been worked out for this year's show are 
entirely different from the plans of those that have preceded it. 
For example, instead of the five hundred square feet Rose Groups 
which, by the way, the public have become quite used to, there 
has been provided a class for the best development of a garden cover- 
ing one thousand square feet. Four such spaces have been reserved. 
There is another feature of the Show that has been extended this 
year solely in the interest of the private gardeners and that is the 
Table Decoration. There is competition every day from the second 
day of the show on, for private gardeners' tables, and the committee 
hopes to have a dozen or more each day — a hope that should be easily 
fulfilled if the gardeners will respond as they should. 
Through the courtesy of Mr. Frederic Newbold, the Horticultural 
Society of New York has offered two silver cups to be competed for 
by the member clubs of the Garden Club of America, No. i. 
Schedules for the Classes are as follows:
