The iris show held at Burns Church on Monday evening June 10 was considerably small. Very few entries in the iris class, which I found disap- pointing. Since the show the iris have now put on quite a display. Best iris specimen went to Car- ol Catton for her entry of Siberi- an iris. Best decorative winner small was Mary Wonnacott for her beautiful underwater design. Congratulations to these two la- dies. Gordon Wick gave a very in- teresting talk and demonstra- tion on "Arranging the flowers from your garden," and made up five beautiful designs, one of which he used the rhubarb flow- er stalks which looked very la- cey and effective in the design. The Rose Show is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26 at the United Church Hall, Brooklin. Speaker will be Margaret Corn- foot, and her subject will be "Marshes and Things." This should be an interesting meet- ing witha nice variety of classes to choose from members, please check your show book carefully, with regard to number of blooms, stalks, etc. in each class. It all helps to win that special prize. Yard sale Once again the Seagrave Church Yard and Bake Sale was a success and the weather- man cooperated.
