32 WINNETKA TALK March 31, 1928 North Shore Garden Clubs Win Ribbons in Flower Show Exhibit in Chicago Brings Spring and Summer to Visitors By. R. 1. P. What is the latest fashion? Garden clubs! Thousands of Illinois women have joined the garden club movement within the past two years, and that it gives them plenty of opportunity to express ingenuity, imagination and latent artistic feeling, is evidenced in the exhibits at the Garden and Flower show in the Hotel Sherman. The show is educational, and so unique in its scope and richness and beauty, that experts say no other show in this country has equaled it. There one finds inspiration in looking at the glorious blooms, and in the exhibits of the clubs of the Garden Club of Illinois ; in the miniature models of an English house and garden; the artistic arrangement of flowers in the shadow boxes; the tastefully appointed lunch- eon tables; and the special garden club exhibits. One takes delight in exhi- bition hall with its beautiful, colorful displays, and in the life-size gardens, in a hall of their own. Groups of foliage and flowering plants also are on display as well as many professional exhibits. The North Shore has contributed its share, and on the first day of the show received one second prize, and several honorable mentions. The Glencoe Garden club had hon- orable mention for its house and gar- den model, which was one of the fifty or more miniature homes carefully landscaped, by the garden clubs, ac- cording to a given scale, giving gar- deners a chance to find out nearly everything they need to know about planting and designing a flower and service garden. Plans were attached to each exhibit and many visitors kept busy with pencil and pad, for exact information was given as to the placing of each plant for each season. The Wilmette Garden club received the red ribbon (second prize) for the Shadow Box exhibit, graceful sprays of euphorbia arranged in a blue jar by Mrs. Alonzo Coburn and Mrs. Ralph Huff. The Kenilworth and Glencoe Garden clubs both received honorable mentions in this class. There were tables by north shore gardens clubs that vied with the win- ning ones, some being so beautifully appointed that one looked without envy upon the judges' difficult task of selecting the outstanding ones. Glen- coe received honorable mention on an arrangement of larch branches. Mrs. Frederick Fisher, president of the Garden Club of Illinois, received honorable mention for her exhibit, "Before and After," showing what can be done toward beautifying a neglected back yard with a little time and a few plants. Mrs. Carl Miner of the Glen- coe Garden club received honorable mention for her rock wall which could be used for a boundary fence of a garden or to separate one neighbor from another. It shows an interesting profusion of alpine plants. One of the exhibits which drew the attention of many spectators and one which showed originality in thought was the old-fashioned well, set in a garden, which proved to be an incin- erator in disguise, and which was the work of Mrs. C. D. Ewer of the Wil- mette Garden club. The garden and flower show con- tinues throughout Sunday, and is offer- ing speakers and hostesses from our north shore villages Saturday and Sundav. Saturday afternoon at 2, Mrs. Paul I. Battey of Glencoe will give an illustrated lecture on "Peonies." using colored slides. At 3, Mrs. V. K.
