SPANISH IRIS IN JAP- 

 ANESE FASHION 



Iris lends itself particularly 

 well to "full-length" treat- 

 ment, as it were, because of 

 its interesting habit of 

 growth; we would like to see 

 it more often displayed with 

 the fundamental simplicity 

 of the truly Japanese ar- 

 rangement which affords 

 each flower-stalk full oppor- 

 tunity. Awarded Third 

 Prize by the Garden Club 

 of America; Mrs. Robert 

 Mallory Jr., Rye (N. Y.) 

 Garden Club, exhibitor 



This native of the trop- 

 ics with its banana- 

 ike foliage and bizarre 

 orange and blue-purple 

 blossoms won First 

 Prize in the Japanese 

 Arrangement Class 

 staged by the Garden 

 Club of America; ex- 

 hibitor, Mrs. Frank 

 Littleton, Fauquier 

 and Loudon Garden 

 Club, Va. 



JAPANESQUE AR- 

 RANGEMENT OF 

 FORSYTHIA 



"Highly Commended" 

 by the Garden Club of 

 America, this arrange- 

 ment was to the lay- 

 man's . eye the most 

 pleasing of the group 

 both in line and color; the clear bright yellow of the Golden-bell happily in harmony with 

 the rich brown of bronze. Mrs. Elmer MacRea, Greenwich (Conn.), Garden Club, exhibitor 



THE NEW YELLOW 

 ROSE 



Souvenir de Claudius 

 Pernet shone conspicu- 

 ously among a galaxy of 

 competing beauties at 

 the New York Show, 

 partly perhaps because 



a good yellow is the rarest 

 of Roses. This Totty intro- 

 duction is the clearest, most 

 glowing yellow yet seen and, 

 being a Pernetiana, may be ac- 

 credited with the cultural char- 

 acteristics of its type, including 

 a predilection for clay soils.

CEDAR A LA JAPANESE 



This arrangement depends primarily on line for its effect, 

 the subdued green of Cedar and the creamy porcelain 

 rendering color a subordinate affair. Awarded Second 

 Prize by the Garden Club of America; Mrs.Seton Lindsay, 

 South Side Garden Club of Long Island, exhibitor
