The above prize lists are the most 
complete and attractive that have ever 
been offered. The shows will all be held 
in one place and at the same time and 
there is no reason why those who have 
blooms in good shape for exhibition 
should not make entries. Exhibiting 
flowers at a flower show is most edu- 
cational, and it will enable any grower 
to compare his results with those of 
other growers. Send in your entries 
early to enable the secretaries to 
straighten out the classes.
