GARDEN CLUB EXHIBITS 



The Garden Club of New Rochelle is cooperating with the 

 Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural Society in its Dahlia 

 show for the benefit of the New Rochelle Hospital, which will be 

 held at the Trinity Church Parish House. New Rochelle, Septem- 

 ber 21 and 22. 



For twelve years the .Short Hills Garden Club had an annual 

 dahlia show. Each year they have raised its standard of merit and 

 improved the general effect, until last year a number of men who 

 have had much experience in shows were most enthusiastic in their 

 praise. Mr. John C. Wister, president of the .\merican Iris So- 

 ciety and secretary of the American Rose Society, said frankly 

 that it was by all odds the most beautiful flower show he had 

 ever seen. 



For the past si.x years these shows have been timed to follow 

 closely upon the lieels of the show of the .\merican Dahlia Society; 

 and tins year opens on Friday. September 30 at 3.30 P. M., re- 

 maining open the following day from 10 A. M. until 6 P. M. 



The .\merican Dahlia Society !ias offered its silver medal for the 

 dahlia scoring the highest numlier of points. The Garden Club 

 of America offers its horticultural medal for the most meritorious 

 exhibit in the show. The Short Hills (iarden Club medal goes to 

 the finest seedling dahlia of 1921. and the Dahlia Society of Cal- 

 ifornia has offered its silver medal as grand prix. 



.\ mmiber of other prizes have been offered by individuals and 

 competition will be very keen. 



All amateurs, whether members of garden clubs or not, are 

 invited to compete. 



Mrs. Charles H. Stout, who is one of the founders and for 

 several years an officer of the Short Hills Club, and probably 

 has been the chief prize winner of practically every show con- 

 ducted by the club, has announced that she has turned over her 

 dahlias to Alt. F. (Zlark of Netcong, a professional, who will ex- 

 liibit a large display of all varieties. 



The Summit fiarden Chili will hold a Chrysanthemum show 

 in the auditorium of the Young Men's Christian .\ssociation. Sum- 

 mit, N. J., on the 19th of October. The schedule will also include 

 flowers other than chrysanthemums which may be in bloom out- 

 doors at that time as well as those grown under glass. 



Amateurs residing in New Jersey are invited to exhibit. They 

 can .secure a copy of the schedule of exhibits by addressing Mrs. 

 John R. Todd, chairman of exhibits, 208 Summit -Avenue, Sum- 

 mit. N. 1.
