    Probably from the 1915 International Flower Show: "The Second International Flower Show, with which The Horti- cultural Society of New York has been directly connected, was held in the Grand Central Palace, March 17 to 23, in cooperation with the New York Florists' Club. [...] The Red Cross Tea Garden was the big attraction. An account of the arrangements for this, including the composition of the var- ious committees in charge of the work, was given in the Febru- ary issue of this Journal. Mrs. W. K. Draper, the chairman, and Mrs. Belmont Tififany, the vice-chairman, were indefatigable in their efforts to make a success of the undertaking, and they succeeded wonderfully. ]\Ir. Wm. A. Delano designed and arranged the Tea Garden. The council of The Horticultural Society of New York awarded him a gold medal in appreciation of this. The Tea Garden was taxed to its capacity, people being turned away for want of room. Arrangements for dancing were pro- vided, in connection with the Tea Garden. " Another account: select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20E15FF3E5F1773... Mentioning the assistance of "young society girls"

    This must be the New York City Flower Show that we see every March in the Bain collection.

    Agreed. John Scheepers Co. was a major dealer in flower bulbs, and is still around.
