size and shape and color they rivalled the professionally groAvn 
varieties, and the simplieity of the arrangement pleased everyone. 
The Summit Club arranged their flowers in a low, flat, glass bowl. Summit 
There were Calla hUes in the center and a charming collection of Club 
mixed greenhouse flowers tastefully grouped. 
An oblong basket of gilded wicker held the Rumson Club's home- Rumson 
grown exhibit. It was an entrancing combination of pale blush and Club 
white Stocks, pink Primulas and white Lilacs — very well arranged 
and beautifully grown. 
Violet and pale yellow were the colors well chosen by the Alle- Allegheny 
GHENY County Club. An oblong graceful silver tureen held the County 
feathery sprays of Mimosa among long stemmed Spanish Iris; Club 
carefully chosen spikes of fawny Snapdragons towered in the back, 
and the deep purple of the Iris was repeated in long-stemmed, single 
Violets which nestled at the base of the arrangement. The judges 
hngered a long time in front of this, and came back a third time 
before they gave it the third prize, a bronze medal. Indeed, it 
was very close between four of the arrangements for first prize. 
The Easthampton Club chose for their arrangement their East- 
special flower, the Belladonna Delphinium, with pale pink Ophelia hampton 
Roses and white Lilacs. They were arranged in an antique pewter Club 
urn-shaped bowl. The light blue of the Belladonna was the main 
color and the Roses and Lilacs were used as a foil. On one side, 
the Delphinium shaded down to dark blue. The Lilacs were placed 
high on the left and very low, sweeping over the edge, on the right. 
It might be caUed a June arrangement, for these three flowers bloom Silver Cup 
in perfection in the Hampton Gardens at that time. It received the 
second prize, a silver medal. 
For skiU in arrangement, proportion and blending of mixed color, Greenwich 
a tall Japanese basket of orange and fawny pink bloom took the first Garden 
prize. They were arranged and grown by members of the Greenwich Club 
Garden Club. A great variety of flowers were used — TuHps, 
Snapdragons, Verbenas, dark blue Larkspurs, Clivias and Mimosa. Silver Cup 
It was a very difficult piece of blending and harmonizing, marvelously 
well carried out, and the Garden Club may well be proud of the 
arrangement that won the Silver Cup. 
Very close to the three prize winners ran the Hartford Club's Hartford 
great soft platted basket of single Roses and mauve-grey Star Cine- Club 
rarias. Indeed, among amateurs, this was the favorite. It combined 
the essence of refinement and profusion of conservative taste as well 
as daring beauty. The roses used were Tausendshonne and single 
Hiawatha, and the Cinerarias were grown by one of the members. 
These crisp choice branches of bloom had been cut a few minutes 
before arranging from the potted plants brought in especially by 
A. N. Pierson, of CromweU, Connecticut,
