EASTERN INTERNATIONAL SHOW 
BINGHAMTON, N. Y. — AUGUST 17 & 18, 1948 
This will be the largest show in the east. Those who were at the 1947 show are 
still talking about it, without a doubt the largest show of all times, and I am sure that 
the 1948 show will be just as large and of the same high quality. Why not plan to be 
there and meet your favorite growers. Plan to bring your best spikes—the show com- 
mittee will welcome you and help you set them up. 
DON’T FORGET THE CONNECTICUT SHOW AT HARTFORD, AUGUST 14-15.
