The Fifth Annual Flower Show of the Easthampton Garden East- 
Club was given as usual in the shaded grounds back of the hampton 
Village Library. This club specializes on Artistic Arrange- Show 
ment of flowers in which section there were a great many 
entries, divided into three classes according to size, as well as 
a special prize for dinner table arrangements. There was a 
large and beautiful display of Delphiniums, the club flower, 
against the dense evergreen background. The arrangements 
were received and judged in the morning inside the Library 
building and moved out to their permanent places just before 
the show opened. Photographs for slides have been taken of 
the prize winners. The Bronze Medal was won by Miss 
Cornelia Horsford for her exhibit, in the Library pool, of choice 
hybrid Pond-lilies which she has naturalized in the ponds on 
her place on Shelter Island. (See Phillipse Manor, Historic 
Gardens Committee). Mrs. Wheaton Vaughan w'as a close 
second Math her large and beautifully arranged collection of 
rare wild-flowers, clearly labeled with both the common and 
scientific names. 
The Committee hears indirectly of many other smaller 
shows which have not been reported. We have many requests 
for rules and suggestions for these shows. The Committee 
recommends the list of ''Don'ts for the Chairman of an 
Exhibition Committee" by Mrs. William H. Carey (New 
Canaan Club) which is to be found on page 251 of Mrs. 
Francis King's new "Pages from a Garden Note Book" 
(Scribners). 
Much appreciation has been expressed for the fine Avork 
done at these shows by the professional judges. We found 
them in every case most just, untiring and appreciative of our 
aims and tolerant of our ''amateurish ways." Mr. Arthur 
Herrington especially we wish to thank for his understanding 
of our frailties, encouragement of budding talent, and his 
fairness and quickness to appreciate what we are striving for. 
Report of New Jersey Rose Show 
The second annual North Jersey Rose Show M^as held at 
Parochial Hall in Bernard sville on June 15th, under the 
auspices of the Garden Clubs of Morristown, Summit, Somerset 
Hills, Princeton and Short Hills. Short Hills gave the first of 
these shows last year. The proceeds of this year's Rose Show

Horticulture at Ambler, Pa. Surely an inspiring object to 
work for, which was evidenced by the splendid and thorough- 
going way in which the Somerset Hills Garden Club — The 
Hostess Club — achieved their successful result. The day was 
fine and Ave joyously motored from Short Hills to Bernards- 
ville, following the arrow which routed the way ; the ' ' arrow ' '
