Exhibition Shows Achievemenf of Gard.n.rs in Unfavorable Season; Set Tables Add Touch Flowers of late summer in ail their g)orious beauty made the autumn ex- hibit of the Wilmette Evening Gar- den club a most colorful and lovely event. HeId Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 11, in Pilgrim hall -of the Coni- gregational church, it gave many vil- lagers an opportunity to sec just what our local gardeners have been able to achieve in flower growing this summer despite ail unfavorable sea son. Ribbons werc awarded for the best 'blooms and there was much friendly rivalry for honors, although garden- ers are notably good losers, for thcy know full well, no matter how hard they try,' sommoe else may grow flowers just a littie more perfect than theirs.' Many .of the exhibits were outstanding. A pretty touch and of much intci- est was the exhibit of table setting. Luncheon and dinner tables set after the best manner, were awarded the ribbons. The dishes on one table, set by Mrs. J. F. Weedon, have been ini Mr. Weedon's family 130 ycars, and every piece is in perfect condition. On a luncheon table set by Mrs. L. H. Slherwin, ail the dishes and table ornaments werc from Scotland- and the cloth was of homespun. Others wcre equally interesting. .While the judges- placcd the ribbons the club. adjourned to a short business session conducted by the presidcnt, Harry C. Pifcr. Visits to beautifui gardens of this vicinity have been a club 'feature Ihis year. David Hall, program chairman Of the evening, introduced Mrs. L. L. Krbinlinieof Dundee, who spoke on "Evergreens," and illustratcd her subject ivith .views. "There are seven popular varicties of evcrgreen," she said, "the pine, fir, spruce, arbor vitae, hemlock, juniper, and cedar. They ail are, grown easily in our locality and their choice depends on what effect we de- sire. Ail they need is plenty of mois- ture and fertilizer, but mostly mois- turc, especialiy in a season like -tihié present summer. They should be wa- tered right up to freezing time. Also evergreens may be trimmed quite freely. Many a tree may be given symmetry by judicious trimming. It will not harm them ini the least."
