From her talk the audience received many good ideas on planting annuals for color and height and other es sentials of a good border or planting bed. Mrs. Heitkamp recently at tended the Oakland flower show and gave first-hand information on several new Introductions, mentioning the new petunia, Fire Chief, and a new pink pe tunia, named Cheerful. She pointed out that annuals are im portant in that they "fill in" at a time when some perennials are through blooming and others are getting ready to bloom. Speaker ot the day was Mrs. Harry C. Smith of Cave Junction, Ore., and she spoke on "Flower Arranging." She began with the suitability of background, space and occasion and then illustrated correct usage of different con tainers and flower holders. After this she proceeded with the mak ing of several fine arrangements, using flowers provided by mem bers, all of which were enthusi astically received. A group of garden club mem bers from Shady Cove prepared tea. The beautiful tea table cen terpiece was a M a y pole on a greensward of mosses dotted with tiny spring flowers. Attention was called to the district meeting to be held in the Grange hall in Rogue River May 9. and also to the state meeting to be held at Klamath Falls May 13-13. In bringing her year as club president to a close, Mrs. Leigh ton last week called attention to the fact that one of the club's major projects for the year, new draperies for the YMCA recrea tion room, has just been com pleted. The club, as well as other organizations of the city, use the recreation room as a meeting place. The draperies have a back ground of soft gray-green with large leaves of green and rust, and add much to the cheerful at mosphere of this big room. Since the windows are many, and large, the expenditure was al most $300, with the garden club raising almost two-thirds of this sum. Announcing completion of the project, Mrs. Leighton said she wished to "gratefully acknowl edge" donations from a number of groups, including the YMCA square dance group.
