34 WINNETKA TALK June 23, 1928 Garden Local Garden Clubs Exhibit in Two-Day Show at Lake Forest BY RUTHEDA L. PRETZEL North shore garden clubs partici- pated in the Lake Forest Garden show, held Saturday and Sunday of last week in the service buildings of Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick's estate in Lake Forest. Thousands of people from Chicago and the north shore went to the show, which held some un- usually beautiful exhibits. Mrs. Arthur W: Brintnall of the Glencoe Garden club won first prize, a blue ribbon, for her arrangement in a chopping bowl. She called it "a summer salad," and the decoration consisted of blossoming chives, mints, lettuce, and salad greens. Honorable mention, a white ribbon, was won by Mrs. Devroe Getman for her arrange- ment of different shades of columbine in a white pitcher. Mrs. Charles Spooner received third prize for her mantel decoration. Her exhibit was noted for its delicacy of treatment. The center piece was a needlepoint painting hung above the mantel. On either side were Waterford bottles filled with single peonies. A stafford- shire figure, brass sconces, two snuff boxes and black silhouettes completed the charming picture. Mrs. Paul L. Battey won a blue ribbon for her twelve named varieties of peonies. Miss Virginia Miller, a member of the Winnetka Garden club, won the blue ribbon for her shadow box, which simulated a seventeen century Dutch flower painting. Over a tasteful group- ing of flowers she had stretched yellow chiffon, to give it a subdued tone, an effect that received many admiring comments. Mrs. Arthur Sullivan won the third prize for her luncheon table, the appointments of which did not ex. ceed $14.99. A unique feature of ijt was that jelly molds were used for vases. The Winnetka Garden club per se won honorable mention for its luncheon table, which was arranged by Mrs. Alvin Bastien and Mrs. Allen Withers. The club also won third prize for its border, which was ar- ranged by Mrs. C. Colton Daughaday and Mrs. Langdon Pearse. Mrs, John McEwen won first prize for her six varieties of peonies, and second prize for six varieties of iris. There was so much enthusiasm for exhibiting among garden clubs and individuals that the nine classes were filled too soon for a number of ex- hibitors to enter. Some of the classes were closed before neighboring clubs and individuals could get in their ap- plications. The Home and Garden club of Kenilworth made some entries, as did the Kenilworth Garden club. The Kenilworth Garden club won four prizes. Mrs. Walter D. Launder won two awards on her display of iris, first on her exhibit of twelve varieties of iris and first on her six varieties.
