The ~theme of -the show, '<Gardens from Maine to California," gives the club a chance to build the most spec- tacular and, from the standpoint of plant material, the most interesting * yet attempted. - Mrs. O. W. Dynes, for the past six' years the general chairman of the show, and this year acting as one of the business executives, is presi- dent of the National Council of State * Garden Clubs, and it is in her honer that the Garden Club of Illinois bas built this framnework for the show. Usually gardening in the midwest has been 1featured.' The National Council. of State Gar- 'den Clubs, organized in 192(), is miade up of forty state federations and two extra territorial clubs-thc Garden *Club of British Columbia and the Bermuda G a r d e n Club. National meetings, held in varjous parts of the United States twice a ycar, bring gardening enthusiasts together tto dis-. cuss horticulture and to visit famous gardens of the locality. At the meet- ing in Cleveland. last year, Mrs. Dynes was ,unanimously elected president of the - national organization, Dartv as a Show Panorama on Navy have as its architectural feature a ranch bouse, and Colorado blue spruce, columbine,' and sage will be fovnd in, the plantings.

The gardens will be particular- ly stunning-follewing the pattern cof an old fashioned flower bed cf, bril- liant flowers and folUage plants.. The building cf a great flower show presnt peculiar difficulties. An army of gardeners, private and com- mercial, plan on paper and then start methas, and semetimes years ahead, te raise what wilI be needed. .1If TWO trees are te be used- apple, pear, magnolia, dogwood, aza- lea, rhododendron-probably a dozen will be grown, hoping two will be prime. The samne is true of bulbs, roses, hyacinths. There mnust net be too mucb sun-too many dark days- toc severe a winter-too. mild-these growing living things cause great concern and occasion many wakeful nighits as to wbether ail is -well in the nursery. 1Thiree wceks of actual building is needed to do the construction work- "te set the stage" for the gardens. Then the ýpeat mess and the t 'ruck loads cf soil are brought in-and thien the plants are delivered, in beat- cd vans, i f it, is very cold.. Orchids arrive' in littie tent houses-closed al around-and on the. inside each flow- er. bas its own separate wrapping. Probably ne other type of exhibi- tion exacts sucbi a price cf its votaries as does horticulture.
