C. State Fair catalog which re minds me that many community and county fairs will be held during the next six weeks. Every gardener should take an in terest in the local fair and also the State fair. If you have anything worth exhibiting you should take pride in showing it. How many times have you stood in front of a prize winning flower, vegetable or fruit at a fair and said, either to those with you or I to yourself, “I’ve got a better one than (that home in the garden right now.” jAnd you may be absolutely right. I Only, having it winning a blue rib bon on the show table and having it growing in the garden are two entire ly different things. The point is to get it from the garden to the show table and still have it good enough to win over the other entries. Before you enter an exhibit, read 1 over carefully the instructions in the catalog. Be sure to enter the exhibit in the proper class, and have it prop erly labeled.

Flower exhibits call for perfection. Good stems, good healthy foliage, and a perfect bloom are essential. It is important to have flowers in good con dition at the time of judging. A rose bloom should be from one-half to three-fourths open—a tight bud will not be considered by the judges. Fruits, such as apples and pears, should have true varietal characteris tics, should be well colored and not over-ripe. They should be free from disease and insect damage. Stems must not be removel from apples and pears. All specimens in a plate or tray should be uniform in size, shape, and color.
