Some Hints
To Flower
Exhibitors
Show Specimens
Must Meet Set
Requirements
BY Edith Houqh

Those planning to exhibit some
of their flowers or to enter them in
a contest should note carefully the
general requirements for show
flowers and the special requirements
of the class in which they are to be-
placed, such as exact measurements,
type of vase, formal or naturalistic
arrangement. If the flowers are not
selected entirely by the fact that
they look unusually lovely but &C
cording TO rules, there is no danger
Of a fine flower or beautiful ar
rangement missing award simply
because it does not fill precisely the
outlined qualifications.
The flowers chosen should not only
be the most handsome of their kind,
but quite unblemished and in the
prime Of their bloom. Weak speci-
mems, of thin petals. too fragile or
generally unsubStantial in form,
have poor chance of meriting a prize.
There must be no trace of SPRAYS,
such as arsenate of lead, or Of artl-
fetal enhancement or reformation.
The leaves on the stem and around
the flower must be perfect and
long, thick stem, especially in roses,
is Of great value
The form and color of individual
specimens are most important. The
form must approach that Of the
perfect specimen of the variety;
this may be observed in pictures
Of prize winners or in catalogues
from nurseries specializing in that
variety. Symmetry, uniformity in
the growth Of petals, long or wide
bloom and other characteristic
! features are considered. The ideal
color is that true to the type of the
flower, rich rather than dull and
not inclined TO fade quickly. Size
is secondary to form and color.
but largeness is a merit, unless il
is freakish, contradicting the ideal
of the variety, as would large size
IN sweetheart roses. Fragrance is
considered when flowers famous for
! their fragrance, as lavender, are
being shown; in this case, the more
pronounced the fragrance the better.
II a group of flowers is exhibited.
1t must be harmonious in form and
color, whether matching or con-
trasting. The novelty of many ar
engagements is their chief merit.
ingenuity, imagination and taste are
the factors evaluated, but always
/ the flowers must be In excellent
shape.
The most favored OF miniature
gardens are those in which each
plant is in good condition and OF
high quality and the whole of artistic
design. Plants are judged by their
cultural perfection and size, foliage
and f1orescence, and sometimes
rarity. Table decorations are nearly
always matter of distinction in
I individual taste, but lightness and
elegance and the harmony of the
flowers and setting are the general
standards used.

window. BY removing the sash the
easement window greenhouse be-
comes a part of the room, and in
winter the house temperature is
usually adequate to meet all plant
demands. From January on, all
the dubious plants can be brought
to bloom, while flower seeds SoWn
in fats and kept on the lower shelf
will give an abundance of vigorous
plants for setting outdoors the first
warm spring days.
The window shelf makes an ideal
spot in which the enthusiastic anna
teur landscape architect can enjoy
planning, planting and growing a
real garden in miniature as it can
be made TO any reasonable dimen-
sions. Water features, including
even a small fountain, can be in
cluded in the design if little in
genuity is exercised and there are
plenty of plants from which love-
ly selection can be made for a year.

that their iris do not do as well as

the fault of the varieties. Iris, like
all other plants and animals, need

Committee of Community
Club Requests Nezv Depot

Grand Forks, North Dakota
Dear Sir:
Your local station and the
grounds surrounding the depot do
not present a very good appear
ance to the travelling or general
public. In bringing this matter to
your attention, we would like to
point out that It is quite possible
that the inside Of the building pro-
per could be greatly improved
from an efficiency standpoint, the
outside remodeled and the grounds
changed to become a source OF
pride to yourselves as well as to
us. A new depot would, Of course,
suit our purposes much better.
We believe that your business In
this community warrants better
facilities in this respect, but II you
cannot erect a new structure, we
trust that an improvement can be
made.
II this matter does not come I'M
der your jurisdiction, we hope
that you will take the matter up
with the proper authority.
Yours very truly
Sank Centre Community Club.
