House & Carden 
Shut Off Instantly 
without rushing 
to the cellar 
I N the time of need there is nothing for 
which you will be more thankful than 
Jenkins emergency shut-off valves. 
Should a faucet or other fixture develop 
trouble and leak, you can stop the flow im¬ 
mediately without rushing to the cellar. Con¬ 
trol of the supply to each outlet is independ¬ 
ent of the supply to other outlets, and water 
can be shut off at any point without dis¬ 
turbing the water to other parts of the 
house. 
Controlling the supply at each outlet with 
Jenkins emergency shut-off valves is much 
more satisfactory and convenient than shut¬ 
ting off water in the cellar and not being 
able to draw a drop any place in the house 
until a leak has been fixed. 
For more than half a century Jenkins 
Valves have been specified where it has been 
the desire to make plumbing the best in 
every way. They are made of the best 
brass, are heavier than other valves, and can 
be depended upon to give lasting satisfac¬ 
tion under all conditions. Attractively fin¬ 
ished in polished brass and nickel. 
And considering freedom from trouble and 
freedom from costly damages to a home or 
furnishings, Jenkins Valves are most econom¬ 
ical, although their first cost may be a little 
more than that of the light, cheaply con¬ 
structed valve. 
Permit your architect to specify and your 
contractor to install genuine “Jenkins Dia¬ 
mond Marked” Valves. Send to us for free 
copies of booklets on plumbing and heating 
valves for the home.

Notes of the Garden Clubs 
( Continued, from page 90) 
incarnate youth”, into the flower that 
bears his name, 
“That ever lives and dies and lives again, 
For Sign and Symbol, that Beauty does 
endure forever.” 
Mrs. Charles H. Stout arranged the ex¬ 
hibit. 
The third prize, a bronze medal, went 
to the Philipstown Garden Club, of 
which Mrs. Vanderbilt Webb is the 
President, and who assisted, with Miss 
Rogers and others, in making the ar¬ 
rangement, consisting of a pool in the 
moss-covered base, in which were nat¬ 
uralized Iberis sempervirens, Christmas- 
roses (Helleborus niger ), forget-me-nots, 
ferns and pink primulas, while against 
the background of conifers stood two 
pink crab bushes, and at the outside 
corners were pink azaleas and white 
hyacinths. A bluebird on the edge of 
the bath pool was one of several intro¬ 
duced into the composition. 
All of the other competing Garden 
Clubs were “highly commended.” The 
exhibit of Allegheny County, Pa., whose 
President, Mrs. Henry Rea, attended 
the Show, was arranged by Mrs. Henry 
Oliver, of Sewickley. A lead bird bath 
rested on the grass covered base, and a 
small lead figure of a child reached to¬ 
wards a little bird of the same material, 
perched on the basin. At the back a 
white lattice about high was draped 
with ivy, and in front of this on one 
side stood a Japanese flowering cherry 
with white narcissus at the foot. On 
the opposite side was placed a pink crab 
bush, with pink primulas beside it. Vio¬ 
lets formed the edging of the grass cov¬ 
ered base, in the two front corners of 
which were groups of yellow primroses. 
The Bedford Garden Club, of which 
Mrs. Rollin Saltus is the President, used 
a well laid brick pavement about a foot 
from the floor for its “base”, on which 
stood a low old English six-sided lead 
bath with three decorative dolphins, and 
in between the bricks sprang up crocuses, 
purple and white, ferns, etc., while ivy, 
vinca and other small vines hung over 
the pavement. Birds were to be seen 
in the conifers forming the background. 
Mrs. George Chapman was Chairman 
of the Exhibit Committee. 
The Garden Club of Easthampton, 
whose President is Mrs. William A. 
Lockwood, used a blue glazed bath 
mounted on a sort of iron tripod, about 
S'/ high, with ivy twining around it 
and over which at the back drooped a 
climbing single rose, supported on a 
rustic trellis. On the base, which was 
sodded, grew forget-me-nots on either 
side of the bath, to which led a narrow 
path of stepping-stones, bordered with 
box and Beilis perennis (pink daisies), 
and in the fpreground, in the corners, 
were yellow prifinroses. Mrs. Robert C. 
Hill and Mrs. 5 Samuel Seabury were 
among those assisting in the arranging 
of the Club’s exhibit. 
The North Country Garden Club of 
Long Island, whose President is Mrs. 
Beekman Winthrop, showed a marble 
shell-shaped bath resting on the moss- 
covered base, which was enclosed with 
a hedge of arborvita; and blooming for- 
sythia, with tall branches of pussy-wil¬ 
lows against the center of the evergreen 
background and at the front comers of 
the enclosure, in which were planted in¬ 
formal groups of double orange and pink 
tulips, blue and pink hyacinths. A path 
led to the bath. Mrs. Walter Jennings 
arranged the exhibit. 
In the Special Class open to Member 
Clubs of the Garden Club of America, 
for the best vase or basket of cut flow¬ 
ers, the first prize, a silver cup from the 
Horticultural Society of New York, was 
awarded to the Greenwich, Conn., Gar¬ 
den Club, of which Mrs. Luke Vincent 
Lockwood is the President. The con¬ 
tainer was a Chinese basket, in natural 
color, filled with acacia, white and flame 
pink snapdragons, double orange tulips, 
blue lupins and delphiniums, pink ver¬ 
bena, and slaty mauve Darwin tulips, 
combined. 
To the Garden Club of Easthampton, 
of which Mrs. William Lockwood is 
the President, went the second prize, a 
silver medal for an arrangement, in a 
low two-handle pewter container, of 
tall spikes of delphinium in different 
shades of blue, with creamy pink roses 
on the upper side of which were white 
lilacs, towards the top. The same flow¬ 
ers also drooped over on the opposite • 
side, resting on ferns on the table. 
The third prize, a bronze medal, was 
awarded to the Garden Club of Alle¬ 
gheny County, Pa., whose President is 
Mrs. Henry Rea, for its arrangement of 
acacia, blue lace-plant (Didiscus), and 
blue lupins, with salmon and yellow 
snapdragons, violets and iris, all in a 
silver oblong container. 
T HE following exhibits were made 
by other Garden Clubs: 
The Garden Club of Hartford, Conn.,

of sprays of single red roses, with stalks 
of single white stocks and blue cineraria, 
in a soft basket with handles.

President is Mrs. Vanderbilt Webb, ex¬
