Scope and Content
Photograph of various flower displays with signs that indicate the prize they earned at the 14th Annual Central Park Agricultural Association and Farmers's Institute Exhibition. There are at least three First Prize flower displays in view and one Special Prize. This is most likely at the 14th Annual Exhibition of the Central Park Agricultural Association and Farmers' Institute that took place from the 17th to 19th of September, 1914. An earlier catalogue record from 1988 notes that the pictures hanging from the backwall are probably children's school work from Kingsway West School. It also adds the agricultural fair was held between 1902 to 1921 in the Central Park Agricultural Hall built in 1902 in Central Park on Kingsway and the B.C.E.R. tracks.

History
The South Burnaby Garden Club as formed in 1901 after a group of Central Park residents met to form a Farmers’ Institute. They leased 17 acres of Central Park from the Provincial Government and with the support of government grants constructed a two-story building on the property. The building was constructed in time for the first annual Fall Fair in September 1901. In 1903 the Institute amalgamated with the South Vancouver and Burnaby Agricultural Society to become the Central Park Agricultural Association & Farmers Institute. In 1907 the membership doubled to 520 members. Increasing urbanization and the First World War saw the last exhibition in 1919. The lease on the building expired in 1921. The Society continued to meet and hold small exhibitions in rented halls under the South Burnaby Horticultural Association name. After several name changes, the association became the South Burnaby Garden Club in 1958 and continues to this day.
