from Ward's seeds, plants or bulbs the amount

book. Send as many entries as you wish. 
You Can Enter this Show — Now is the Time to Start Planning 
Bound in the center of this book you will find a folder 
giving a complete list of the prizes and the rules, also full 
information on how to enter your plants in this exhibition. 
Read the rules carefully. Also included in this folder is a 
simple Entry Form together with a Special Order Blank to 
be used if you wish to be eligible for a double cash prize. 
It is really very simple—there is nothing difficult about 
this show. If you love flowers and grow them for pleasure 
and not for profit you are eligible to compete. There is no 
age limit. Anyone can enter. You don't have to be an 
expert photographer either. Quality of the photographs 
submitted will not be considered in making the awards. 
Neither will the handwriting, spelling or grammar be con¬ 
sidered by the judges. 
Simply send us the clearest picture you can get of 
your best plant when it is at its best in your garden. If 
you haven't a camera, no doubt you have some friend 
who will be glad to take pictures of your flowers for you. 
Or, if you wish, have a commercial photographer take 
your picture. Let each picture show the entire plant so 
the judges can grade it not only on the blooms but jl 
on its general shape and condition. 
No need to disturb the plant. You can keep it and 
enjoy it, or enter it in your local flower show if you wish. 
Turn to the Center of this Book, Read the Details of This Great Show. Plan Now to Win One of the Prizes.
