Dor Fall show is held in Brooklin church Last Wednesday evening, Brooklin Horticultural Society met at Brooklin United Church. Due to the lack of rain, the num- ber of show entries was consid- erably down compared to last year, with only a total of 117 en- tries on the show bench. It was disappointing to see only eight gladiolus exhibited. I know in my own garden, on some of those extreme humid days, the miniature glads were actually wilting on the stalk. However, looking at the brighter side, we always have some winners. Congratulations to the fol- lowing people: Iileen Slute won the special award to the best specimen flower (not gladiolus) with her coral colored perennial phlox. Carol Cattan won the best specimen gladiolus with herlovely red stalk. Richard Woolgers pumpkin was the best specimen vegeta- ble. Best decorative won by . Mary Housego with her beauti- ful pink and wine colored mass design, "Decisions". Our guest speaker for the eve- ning, Shirley Mohammed gave us a very interesting talk on "Pressed Flowers'. Her favorite flower for pressing is the pansy. The chrysanthemum and vege- table show is scheduled for Sep- tember 27. Speaker to be an- nounced.
