f irk ' SPRING FLOWERS, such as the Dogwood, Ml acs and lilies of the valley shown here were used for arrangements entered in the recent Spring Flower Show held in Glendale. The Glendale Garden Club was the sponsoring group. The show was held as a community at traction, primarily to give area residents o chance to show off their choicest blooms and skill in flower arranging. There was no judging and no prizes were given. Attendance was good, it was reported. (Fox photo) Glendale Garden Clubbers Report Successful Show A good attendance was reported for the Glendale Garden Club show which was held at the Masonic Temple all day last Saturday. A large variety of flowers and ar rangements was on display in spite of the long-continued rains which affected the blooming times of many of the blossoms usually abundant in May. The garden club, which recently dropped its membership in the Fed erated Garden Club organization, made no effort' to judge the en tries or to divide them into sub species as in the previous shows it has sponsored. There were dis plays in four categories, however, horticultural, arrangements, potted plants and junior divisions. A plant sale was held in connec tion with the show, and along with it, miniature corsages were offer ed to purchasers at a' nominal price. Lunches were sold in the Masonic dining room. Mrs. Ralph Place, elub president, had charge of the show. Committee chairmen included the following: Mrs. Ed Harris and Mrs. Mary Harris, staging and decorating; Mrs. Fred Beerli, Mrs. Howard Ed son and Mrs. Maurice Reasoner, making up schedules; Mrs. How ard Edson and Mrs. Renus Mi chel, entries; Mrs. Howard Edson, publicity and junior entries; Mrs. Maurice Reasoner and Mrs. Her bert Reed, placement: Mrs. Tom Patterson, plant sale; Mrs. W. H.. Corwin, guest book; Mrs. Fred Beerli, Mrs. Howard Eson and Mrs. Mary Harris, refreshments. All of the membership helped to furnish the refreshments which were serv ed. Officials of the club estimated that total earnings from the event amounted to approximately $25. correspondent Mrs. Gerald Fox reports. Dwarf 'Snaps' Are Available Would you like to have snap dragons in your garden this year that could be used as a carpet and be able to cut off their dead and faded blooms with a lawn mow er? You can have them just buy seeds of varieties named Mag ie Carpet or Tom Thumb. Both of these come in mixed colors, grow only 4 to 6 inches high and hare miniature blooms in great quanti ties. Consider tbese varieties for the rock garden or for a long blooming house plant for winter, as well as for carpeting or edging. You'd prefer your snapdragons slightly taller? Nothing could be easier just ask for Sprite hy brids and the plants will be com pact, grow 14 to 18 inches high, with true hybrid vigor. For this strain is a semi-dwarf type. Tall snapdragons are your fav orites but you prefer them to bloom very early? Try the new First La dies strain or the older Hit Pa rade. Both bloom two weeks earli er than most tall snapdragons. A week later to flower than these very early types if one known as Vacationland and a mixture of seeds of this midseason kind and the later flowering, magnificent Rocket snapdragons is offered by one seed house for a longer sea son of bloom. The Rocket strain is bred to with stand hot summers and still give flowers. First Ladies, on the oth er hand, will flower early, then, if dead flower heads are cut, rest while the weather is hot and then flower a second time. With The Garden.

The Hucrest Garden Club held and a half-higli perennial with its nnlliant mourns in mio-summer, Its April meeting at the home of Mrs. Orvis Ford. At the morning workshop, orien tal arrangements were made after a short talk and demonstration by Mrs. E. H. Card. During the afternoon meeting, the group discussed garden insects and insecticides. New officers were elected as fol lows: Mrs. V. V. Schuctze, presi dent; Mrs. E. H. Card, first vice president; Mrs. Owen Hocker. sec ond vice president; Mrs. Lewis Hart, secretary; and Mrs. A. M. Boyd, treasurer. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. R. C. Grant, 924 NW Charter, May 28. Each member should bring three arrangements, each a different type, which have been made in the morning work shops during the year. They should also bring any interesting flower that might be blooming at this time. L lower your sights and consider the little phloxes which are annuals. As easy to grow as scattering the seeds on almost any kind of soil, asking only a sunny spot, these little fellows offer rich rewards-. Their flowers are bright and gay. they continue to bloom over a long time, and they make de lightful bouquets, lasting well in water. If you need a bed of solid color or a path planting which you'd like to have appear as a ribbon of color, the little phloxes are ideal to use. It is possible to buy seeds that will produce plants with flowers all one color or mixed colors. The variety Snowball, for instance, has white flowers, Isabellina has prim rose vellow ones and so on through the phlox colors which in clude pink scarlet and crimson as well as salmon shades. The smallest phloxes come in mixtures cauea uwan ocauiy or .j limn oiar. ft atrietiiuu iiwiii inc Dwarf Beauty strain is called Bright Eyes. Star is the name of an annual phlox, refers to pointed petals of this particular strain, which makes individual florets look like tiny stars. Twinkle is a vari ety of star phlox that won an All American Selections award for its excellence. There are also annual phloxes which are tetraploidi and thus are taller and have larger flowers. There is a tetraploid mixture of fered and also such varieties as Glamour, a medium salmon in flower color with the center of the bloom cream. Try some of these little phloxes in your garden this summer and you'll agree that they furnish an enormous amount of bloom for lit tle effort. shaDcd bodv. not over 1 ii-inch long Yellowish-white in color.
