Tips for Flow er Show Exhibitor«.
"Have flowers healthy a n d
clean. Include some own foliage,
clean, whole, no hug eaten or dis
eased. Need not be attached to
blossom. No other kind of foliage
or flower included. Zinnias and
marigolds should not be entirely
bloomed out. This applies to dah
lias also. No spent petals. These
can sometimes be pinched, or cut
off. Pots should be painted or cove
red.
"The P.D.G. club is offering a
special prize for miniature gar
dens. These may be made in a
breadpan, platter, dish or sim ilar
container. Would like to see num
ber of entries in thus class, from
the children."
