Garden Club Flower Shows 
There have now been five spring and summer Club Flower 
Shows reported to the office, for which the Bronze Medal has 
been requested; and there are still four Autumn Shows to 
come at which the same Medal is to be awarded. Our President 
is most anxious that all clubs, wherever they are located, 
notify the office when they decide to have a Flower Show so 
that it may be mentioned in good time in the Bulletin in order 
that any club members who happen to be m the vicinity, may 
avail themselves of the opportunity of enjoying it. 
The club shows have certainly attained that high grade of 
excellence for which we were so anxious, the interest in them 
has been phenominal. 
Baltimore First came the exhibition of the three Baltimore Clubs, 
Clltbs Shows the Amateurs, the Garden Club of Twenty, and the Ruxton 
Club. Here the Bronze Medal was awarded to Mrs. Dinning 
of Ruxton for the best collection of Spring flowers. Mrs. Swan 
of the Garden Club of Twenty was a close second with her 
marvelous Delphiniums. The Amateurs carried off the prizes 
in the Rose classes. 
North Five Clubs associated in a North Jersey Rose Show on June 
Jersey fifteenth at Parochial Hall, Bernardsville. They were the 
Rose Show Trenton, Morristown, Princeton, Short Hills and Somerset Hills 
Clubs. Our Bronze Medal was won by Mrs. Ridley Watts of 
the Morristown Club for the best exhibit in the show, which 
was a truly remarkable exhibit of Roses. The Medal of the 
American Rose Society was won by Mrs. Francis G. Lloyd of 
the Somerset Hills Club for the best rose in the show. 
Purchase On the same day other clubs had an associated show in the 
Show charming Reid Memorial Library at Purchase, N. Y. The 
Rye, Greenwich, New Canaan and Bedford Clubs vied with 
each other and the Bronze Medal was won by Mrs. Geddes of 
the New Canaan Garden Club for the best exhibit in that show, 
which was a single stalk of choicest Delphinium grown from seed 
raised entirely by herself. 
Chestnut The third annual Flower Show of the Chestnut Hill (Mass.) 
Hill, Mass. Flower Show was held on May 17th. This was a really 
remarkable exhibition and professionals said that many shows 
at Horticultural Hall in Boston, could not compare with it. 
There were exhibits of large plants of rare specimens, and a 
special prize for Table Decorations, these last surprisingly 
beautiful. The second day the show was opened free to the 
community and over three hundred people availed themselves 
of the opportunity. The Bronze Medal was won by Mr. and 
Mrs. Edwin S. Webster for the best general exhibit; cultural 
superiority, arrangement and color scheme all counting in 
points.
