Download or read book The Book of the Flower Show Classic Reprint written by Charles H. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Flower Show No effort has hitherto been made to bring together those various items of information which a newly formed or re-organised Horticultural Society so often needs. Questions relative to the formation and conduct of a society reach the Horticultural Journals week by week and seem to point to the need of some such work as the present. There are other matters of moment to society officials, such as tenting, halls, staging for the exhibits, heating, ventilation and insurance, but these are all so directly governed by local circumstances, they have not been included in the scope of this book. The aim has been to produce a handbook that will prove valuable as a work of reference to those who have the conduct of Flower Shows, and the compilation of rules and regulations for the government of societies; it has also been produced for the purpose of helping all but the oldest and wariest of that great army of amateur and professional gardeners who love to stage the products of their skill in competition with those of their fellows. If the book proves helpful in these directions its purpose will be served. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
