. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1925 9 LOCAL GARDEN CLUBS WIN PRIZ ES AT LAKE FOREST SHOW The Glencoe Garden Club Takes Three Prizes at Exhibit HE Lake Forest Garden Club show illustrating the decorative use of flowers, held in the service buildings of Mrs. Rockefeller McCor- mick's estate last Saturday and Sun- day, was a huge success. The weather man smiled benignly, if somewhat frostily, upon the festive throng in gay attire assembled in the buildings and scattered over the extensive grounds. The Glencoe Garden club carried off a goodly share of honors, the most out- standing of which was the first prize for the miniature garden model. Mrs. Carl Miner, a recognized authority on rock gardens, was the chairman of the committee composed of herself, Mrs. William Levering, and Mrs. John A. Armstrong. Her fertile mind and nim- ble fingers combined, achieved won- ders in the planning of the grounds, while Mrs. Levering was responsible for the very lovely color scheme and painting of the house. Other members of the club assisted in various ways. In section I of class III, Mrs. Charles Workman won first prize for her ar- rangement of blue corn flowers and California poppies in a green bowl. In the border planting, which was class IV, the Glencoe Garden club came second with Mrs. Paul Battey as chair- man of a committee composed of Mes- dames Winthrop Girling, George Hor- ton, George Muth, and Percy Arm- strong. The planting was said to ap- proach most nearly to a real English border. In the first section of class V, a breakfast table set for two, Mrs. Ar- thur Brintnall and Mrs. Homer Hor- ton formed the committee. - As Mrs. Brintnall has been invalided for some weeks, Mrs. Horton arranged the table, using a homespun cloth and napkins patterned after the old blue and white "log cabin" design, Mrs. Brintnall's much prized pewter, Colonial old blue china, pressed glass goblets and cup plates. An old fashioned bouquet of yellow sundrops, baby's breath, pinks, blue corn flowers, and small yellow poppies in a pewter bowl gave the fin- ishing touch. The Glencoe Garden club which was the youngest club exhibiting, feels justly proud of its first venture. Winnetka Garden Club Exhibits st Flower Show URING the Garden Flower show held in Lake Forest Saturday and Sunday of last week, a white ribbon of honorable mention was placed on the miniature model of the house and garden exhibited by the Winnetka Garden club. The diminutive model, designed by Mrs. John Hardin of Hubbard Woods, represented a stone house of English architecture, which, with its tiny garage, was so situated as to utilize to the most economical and artistic ad- vantage, every inch of a lot designated as 75 feet in width and 120 feet in depth. Produced on a quarter-inch scale, and placed on the end of the lot, the house, with its enclosed service entrance and court, its nearby garage and vegetable garden, overlooked a charming little vista of a lawn bordered at either side with flowers in semi-formal planting, with a gracefully branching oak tree in the foreground, and a border of high shrubs enclosing it at the end. The miniature house and landscaped grounds were produced in charming detail from the oak furniture and tiny parrot cage on the porch to the ram- bler roses and hollyhocks at the side. Mrs. Hardin, who modeled the house, was ably assisted by Mrs. Mollis, Mrs. Maynard, Mrs. Quinlan, and Mrs. Franklin Callahan of Evans- ton, who is expecting to move to Win- netka. Winnetkans Honored for Table Decoration WO members of the Winnetka Garden club were the recipients of prizes for the attractive ar- rangement of dining tables at the Lake Forest Garden Flower show last week. Mrs. John Scott was awarded a prize for the appointment of a din- ner table set with a Venetian lace cloth, Spanish china, with shades of yellow and red predominating, unique wrought-iron candle sticks with flow- ers clustered around them, and red glass ware. Florentine cloth of Copen- hagen blue with Florentine lace, the glassware was of blue of a deeper shade, and larkspur, pink roses, and white spiraea were the flowers used. The breakfast table, for which the prize was given, was set in periwinkle blue and white Chelsea china, with a periwinkle blue cloth, and adorned with Dorothy Perkins rambler roses and ageratum. Winnetka Garden Club to Meet Early in July MEETING of the Garden Club of Winnetka will be held at the residence of Mrs. Robert Rip- ley, 26 Indian Hill road, Saturday after- noon, July 11, at 2:30 o'clock.

Local Garden Club Wins Two Flower Show Prizes HE Kenilworth Garden club, noted for its enterprise and in- genuity, was rewarded by carry- ing off double honors in the much her- alded Garden Flower show given in Lake Forest on Saturday, on the beau- tiful estate of Mrs. Rockefeller Mc- Cormick. In competition with 18 club entries from all over the city and suburban area, the Kenilworth or- ganization was awarded two coveted second prizes in what is presumed to be the first Flower show to be given by Garden clubs west of Cleveland. The first of these exhibits was a charming miniature house and garden model, pat- terned in English manner from door- step to garden gate by Mrs. Douglas Flood assisted by a committee of three co-artists, Mrs. Gilbert W. Kelly, Mrs. Bentley McCloud, and Mrs. Frederick A. Weston. Mrs. Edward Phelps and Mrs. E. F. Snydacker were recipients of the second prize awarded for artis- tic arrangement of flowers, a blue vase filled gracefully with white sprays of old-fashioned Queen Anne's lace. Further Glencoe Awards Bestowed at Flower Show RS. Harry A. Peters of Lincoln avenue, Glencoe, won first prize at the Lake Forest Garden Club show in the flower arrangement with pink predominating. Her bouquet was of Hiawatha roses in a black bowl. Mrs. Harold Foreman took second place with her dinner table set for six. Jane Horton, aged 9, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Horton of Grove street, was the proud recipient of a white ribbon indicating honorable men- tion, at the Lake Forest Garden Flower show. She exhibited three charming little nosegays in old fashioned vases in the class for children 16 years of age and under.
