ABSTRACT:

On April 23 and 24, the Southern California Horticultural Institute (SCHI) presented their 1983 Spring Plant and Flower Show. The SCHI is a non-profit organization dedicated to the beautification of the Los Angeles area through the encouragement of greater interest in horticulture and broader knowledge of horticultural methods and materials. Exhibitors from the various Southern California botanical societies were present as well as displays by commercial growers and the Huntington Botanical Gardens. This was the first time the lAS was represented at one of these shows in the Los Angeles area since the 1979 LAIF's Fern and Exotic Plant Show.
