March 5, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 11 ALL HANDS WORK TO OPEN FLOWER SHOW Thirty Thousand Flowers and Plants to Bloom Monday in Show at Hotel Sherman Civic, business, educational and artis- tic forces in Chicago have united in commending and aiding the Chicago Garden and Flower show, to be given next week in the Hotel Sherman. They include the Association of Commerce; Chicago Plan commission; Department of health; Board of Education; Teach- ers' federation; Lincoln, South and West Parks systems. Originally planned for the exposition hall of the Hotel Sherman, the expo- sition has grown to such an extent that the grand ballroom, mezzanine floor, and several of the large private dining rooms will also be used, and the display will overflow into the lobby. Instead of the 17,000 square feet of floor space originally set aside, more than 50,000 square feet will be utilized. John A. Servas, general manager, has had carpenters, brick layers, stone ma- sons, painters, working all day and night for the past week preparing the ground work and background. All of the walls, for instance, have been transformed into floral murals. Eric Buchholz, director of gardens, with a corps of experts, is placing the hun- dreds of plants, flowers, flowering shrubs, that will constitute the gardens embracing the widest possible range, in both climate and bloom. Thirty thousand flowers and flower- ing plants will be placed on exhibition. All these blossoms will be entered in competition for thousands of dollars in cash prizes, in addition to medals and certificates which represent the highest honors to be won in the horti- cultural world by the most finished products of the gardener's art. 10,000 Roses to Bloom Predominating in the show will be roses, of which Chicago is the great production center of the country, acres under glass being devoted to their cul- ture. Not only the commercial grower but the private conservatories of the north shore, Lake Geneva, Wheaton, Barrington and other estates centers will exhibit in the rose classes, as well as in the other competitions, which cover the entire field of seasonable floral production. Not less than ten thousand roses, the pick of millions now growing, will be shown for prizes. All commercial classes call for fifty blossoms of a variety, while the private estates will exhibit twelve or twenty-five. Next to roses in number will be car- nations; and after them flowering plants will be most numerous. The Expert Handy Man Window Washing Gutters Cleaned Cutting Wood with Machine Gardening Service Trees Trimmed and Removed Small Trucking Jobs WORK WITH TOOLS Hans Jorgensen Glencoe 1186 plant exhibits will be especially strong in spring flowers. Private estate gar- deners will compete in a special class of dinner table decorations; and a special class is devoted to the aristo- cratic orchid. The best collection of cut orchids will attract the finest orchid collections in this section of the coun- try. Famous Garden a Poem "Let no man enter who is not pure in heart." That inscription adorns the entrance to the famous Garden of the Taj, in India, where stands the Taj Mahal. Even as that building represents the pinnacle in architectural beauty, a poem in marble, so also is the garden a poem in verdure. Thus August Koch, chief florist of the Garfield Park conservatory, has chosen the "Garden of the Maharajah" for the West Parks exhibit. Occupying the most conspicuous section of the exposition, this garden though in min- lature by comparison, will be as closely as possible a replica of that wonderful garden of such surpassing beauty that "evil thoughts cannot here dwell." Guarded by massive wrought iron gates, the dome of the Taj Mahal will rise in the rear through the waving tops of magnificent palms, of which the garden will include more than thir- ty varieties. And meandering through the whole will be a rippling brook, losing itself in a pool at the edge of the Avenue de Verdure, where water lilies will be guarded by a marble nymph on the bank. Bringing a breath from the "Land of the Windmills" wil! be the tulip gar- den at the show. Absolute cleanliness is essential to the growth of bulbs, and most of the world's supply comes from Holland where faces, doorsteps, and even pavements are scrubbed daily. Many hundreds of square miles are devoted to the growing of bulbs--tu- lips, hyacinths, crocus, scilla. Institute of Government Opens Wednesday Morning The opening of the Institute of Gov- ernment and Politics in Harris hall, Nothwestern university, Wednesday, March 2, was an interesting event. Women from the north shore and out of town league members were present. Prof. Kenneth Colegrove was intro- duced by Mrs. Jameson, chairman of the efficiency in government committee, as the first speaker of the institute. He spoke on the "Constitution as Supreme law." His talk was well divided into six parts describing: (1) the brevity of the Constitution; (2) that it is a written document in contrast to the un- written document of England; (3) that it distributes power between state and government; (4) it provides separation of powers into presidential, legislative, and judicial; (5) it sets a limitation on power by its constitutional and statu- tory law; (6) that this is a stable docu- ment surviving through 138 years be- cause of its general language. The next speaker was Dr. S. Breck- enridge who spoke on "The New Pub- lic Welfare Cause." Miss Brecken- ridge ably pointed out the tremendous difficulties encountered in that work, and what is being, and what shou'd be accomplished. At 12 o'clock, the session was ad- journed for those attending to go to the Georgian hotel. At 2 o'clock the meeting in Harris hall was resumed with Dr. Kerwin speaking the first hour on "The Direct Primary--What of Its Future?" SPECIAL BAPTISMAL SERVICE On Sunday afternoon, March 6, there will be a special service at the Win- neka Congregational church at which children may be presented for Chris- tian baptism. Persons interested are requested to speak with one of the ministers. = HIE mnetka Tongregational Church Morning-- School worship. the Standards?" class. science." ards. Afternoon-- Evenings-- A.
