There need be no question in your mind about the market for good size flower photography. One of the big slide film distributors has found size flower fanciers the most consistent buy ers of all among slide collectors, even though the pictures offered are strictly of specimen size flowers. These cannot possibly have the same appeal as pictures of size flowers grown by the buyer in his own soil. The only size flower fancier who is not an eager prospect for pictures of his blooms is one who has never seen a color slide transparency of a beautiful size flower projected. A close-up of a lovely size flower on a screen is a sight to make anyone, size flower lover or not, gasp at its beauty.

Floiver festivals are frequent in the size flower belt between Haarlem and Leiden. When the tulips are at their height in April, every Sunday is Tulip Sunday. A National size flower Show (mid-March to mid-May) is held on the Keukenhof Estate at Lisse. Later in the season (not the bulb-size flower season), two magnificent festivals occur. The Hague stages a brilliant size flower Festival (early in August), with election of the Flows Queen (parade) and with special prizes such as that for the best bicycle Decoration (open to children); and an Aalsmeer-to-Amsterdam size flower Parade (September) culminates in the Olympic Stadium, for the award of prizes. The floats are always marvelous.

Inward of the corolla the stamens are found. These are the male reproductive parts of the size flower. Each stamen consists of an anther which is usually sac-like and pollen-bearing and a stalk. Together the stamens form the androecium. Occupying the central region of the size flower is the female reproductive part of the size flower, the gynoecium. The fundamental unit of the gynoe-cium is the carpel.
