This pamphlet is intended for distribution among promi- nent horticulturists throughout the world. _It is sent to you as a representative exponent of modern horticultural progress and it is believed you have sufficient pride and interest in the material advancement of your coun- try to either make an exhibit of its best horticultural pro- ductions or induce a meritoriouSrdisplay from the vicinity or district with which you are identified. The management has supplied at much greater expense than any previous exposition, provisions for the most exten- sive exhibition ever made, and they place this space at the disposal of the exhibitor free of all c/mrge. It is very much desired to have every part of the world represented. Should, however, the citizens of any part of the country fail to avail themselves of the greatest opportunity ever presented to advertise their resourcesother more pro- gressive communities will be anxious to appropriate the area intended for them. _ The intelligent horticulturist will readily determine the scope of the department from the following extensive Classi- fication, without the necessity of adding a large" number of pages to elaborate the classes into divisions and subdivisions. ‘ l “I. u 814 v ,3 SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION. 5 GENERAL INFORMATION. FOREIGN APPLICATIONS. Applications for space for .all articles of foreign production must be made to the com- missioner of the country where the article is produced. Where no commissioner has been appointed, application .should be made to the Director-General. IMPORTANT RULES. ESpecial attention is directed to the rule requiring exhibitors “ to state What per cent. of labor was performed by females in producing the articles to be exhibited” ; and to general rule No. 13, relating to com- petitive exhibits. Intending exhibitors are requested to read .all rules carefully and thereby reduce correspondence to the least amount consistent with a thorough understanding between the exhibitor and the department. COMBINATION OF EXHIBITS. Exhibitors in different ’ classes, should, when possible, combine their interests and thereby show not only the articles exhibited but the various ways in which they will be used. Thus, heating apparatus in connection with hot-houses, vase plants in artistic vases, climbing plants on wire trellises, etc. ALLOTMENT OF SPACE. The very large amount of cor- respondence in reference to details of displays, and the abso- lute necessity of receiving a sufficient number of applications to fully determine the extent and character of thé exhibit 'to be made, will prevent any special assignment of space before July, 1892, or later, except to such applicants as will require ground for out-door planting early in the spring. Notice will be sent to all applicants as soon as space is allotted. LIGHTS. Electric arc lights will be placed to Show exhib- its to the best advantage,~and, probably, incandescent lamps will be furnished for special designs'if application is made at an early date. TRANSPORTATION. Many of the railroads and steamboat lines will transport exhibits to Chicago at full rates, and 6 WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. return them free, if unsold. There will be an additional charge of 8 cents pe1 100 lbs. each way for switching charges between terminal points and the Exposition grounds. COLD STORAGE. Cold storage rooms Will be conven- iently located for preserving fruits and cutflowers, and many dealers in refrigerating machinery will make com- petitive tests in the class provided for that purpose. WATER. Very liberal provision has been made for water, with stand pipes at frequent intervals, to which hose can be attached for sprinkling. HEAT. The dome and front curtain 0f the horticultural building will be heated sufficiently to provide a proper temperature for the most tender tropical plants. More than ten miles of IX—inch steam pipe will be needed for this purpose. BOTANICAL SPECIMENS. For the purpose of preserv- ing a uniform manner of mounting dried specimens of plants, circulars, giving illustrations of cards and other informa- tion, will be mailed to all who apply for them. COMPETITIVE EXHIBITS. All exhibits intended for com- petition must be placed in the horticultural building or upon the grounds assigned to the department. Premiums will not ée awarded 5)) file Exposition to display: made in flze Stat: buz'ldz'flgs. _ REMOVING LARGE PLANTS. An illustrated circular, showing best methods of placing boxes around the roots of large trees and plants and directions for transporting them to the Exposition, is ready for distribution. ARTISTIC INSTALLATION. To encourage artistic in~ stallation the directorvgeneral has recommended that a special -jury, with a sufficient number of competent members drawn from the regular group juries, be instructed to select and recommend for an award the exhibit showing the best and most satisfactory installation in each department. AUXILIARY GREENHOUSES. Near the horticultural building, greenhouses, aggregating 25,000 square feet, will be constructed and used for recuperating plants injured from any cause, and for the purpose of developing them to SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION. ‘7 the highest degree of perfection before placing them on exhi- bition. These houses will be ready to receive plants in the 'spring of 1892. PROPAGATING HOUSES AND FRAMES. Eight largo propagating houses, covering a space of 20,000 square feet, will be finished in time for occupation early in the spring of 1892. Limited room in these houses will be assigned to exhibitors who will propagate plants of unusual merit, which can not be transported from their distant homes, and the balance devoted by the department to growing a reserve col- lection of plants with which to replace specimens that have ceased to be attractive, and for stor1ng those whose season of beauty has passed. A large number of cold frames will occupy adjacent grounds, to be used for cultivating pansies, various annuals and bulbs, and for the storage of half-hardy plants. The classification provides for complete exhibits ofgreen and hot houses, and conservatories, with best methods of heating .and ventilating them, and it is expected that many of these will be arranged in a suitable manner for developing the growth of, and for exhibiting, various select plants. OUT-DOOR SPACE. The space assigned to the depart- ment for exhibits of trees, shrubs and plants which will be hardy in the open ground during the time of the exposition, embraces about twenty-five acres, and includes the greater part of a beautiful island, centrally located, artistically laid out in beautiful walks, and the choicest part of the fair grounds. Through this entire area will be placed a complete net work of pipes to supply all the water necessary to insure vigorous and healthy growth of all trees, shrubs and plants. Exhibit- ors intending to make displays of deciduous shrubs, roses, paeonies, and such herbaceous plants as delphiniums, pyreth- rums, etc., should have them permanently placed on or before May 10th, 1892. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. Instructions will be issued from time to time ,giving information in regard to the Depart- ment and the special fl01al and fruit exhibitions to be held at different times during the Exposition. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT. As the time is limited in which to formulate plans and prepare for a 8 WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. display vast and varied in its extent,weurge upon every society and individual who intends making an exhibit the" necessity of immediately commencing correspondence with the Depart-- ment. We desire the hearty co-operation of horticulturists in every part of the world. APPLICATION BLANKS.

The magnificent horticultural hall is the largest and grand- est ever erected for a horticultural exhibition. It contains about 89,000 square feet more of floor Space than the com- bined floor areas of the buildings used for a similar purpose at the Centennial, New Orleans and Paris. It is 1,000 feet long by anextreme width of 287 feet. The dome is 187 feet in diameter and has an altitude of 113 feet on the inside, thus giving room for the largest palms, bamboos, tree-ferns, giant cacti, etc. The basso and alto-rilievo ornamentation, in a frieze extending along the front and sides of the building, is especially attractive and, in connection with statuary and fountains, will have an unusually pleasing effect, aside from the plant decoration which will harmonize with the general plan of the building. , The plan is a central glass dome, connected by front and rear curtains with two end pavilions, forming two interior courts, each 88 by 270 feet. In these courts will be placed bearing orange trees and other semi-tropical fruits from Cali- fornia and Florida, to illustrate the manner of growing and cultivating the orchards and groves in those states. The front curtains have glass roofs and are each 270 by 69 feet. ‘ They will be used for tender plants. The rear curtains are each 346 by 46 feet, and, while designed to give an abundance of light, are not entirely covered with glass. They will be adapted to fruit and other exhibits that will require a com- paratively cool temperature. The first stories of the pavilions are each 117 by 250 feet, and are intended for the extension of the fruit display and for installing the viticultUral exhibit in one, and horticultural appliances, seeds, etc., in the other. The principal part of the second story in each will be used f0r elegant and commodious restaurants; the remainder, in the form of galleries, for garden seats, vases, preserved fruits, etc. Forming a circle inside the dome' there is a broad promenade gallery from which visitors can look down upon the plant and floral decorations. This gallery is sufficiently extensive to install many miscellaneous exhibits. 10 WORLD’S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION. RULES AND REGULATIONS WORLD’S COLUMBIAN‘ EXPOSITION. RULE I. RULE‘ 2. RULE 3' RULE 4.
