PROGRESSIVE FLOWER SHOW
IS ACCLAIMED BIG SUCCESS
The ■* Progressive Flower Show
sponsored by the four Garden Clubs
of Jackson on Friday, April 10, prov
ed to be a splendid success in every
way.
Six of the town’s lovliest homes
were opened to display the compet
itive arrangements and horticultural
specimens, which, with the quantities
of beautiful blossoms used for deco
rative purposes, made each home a
bower of loveliness.
The Methodist Church was a
perfect setting for the Ecclesiastical
arrangements entered by the six
Garden Clubs of the county. Here
the Hawthorn Club was in charge
and delightful organ music was play
ed by Mrs. Avon Gaston.
The first home on the tour was
that of Mrs. O. B. Farrell of the
Mimosa Club, where line arrange
ments were displayed. The guests
were invited to see the entire home,
a lovely ranch-style in a surburban
setting.
The second home was that of Mrs.
W. O. Ball of the Cherokee Club
where specimens of tulips and Afri
can violets were attractively display
ed in the dining room. Lovely ar
rangements were used on the mantel
and piano in the living room and
throughout the home.
The third home was that of Mrs.
T. E. Robison of the Jackson Club,
where miniature arrangements were
shown. The beautifully appointed
table in the dining room was set for
a luncheon. It was covered with a
handsome white linen and lace cloth,
and the centerpiece featured pink
and white snapdragons, stocks and
cream iris. Yellow fruit and flowers
ere used on the room
table.
The next home was that of Mrs.
L. J. Ball of the Jackson Club where
specimens of Dutch and bearded iris
filled the tables in the dining room
and made a spectacular showing. The
living rooms were bright with a va
riety of colorful blossoms.
Hoses, daffodils, annuals and pe
rennials were shown at the home of
Mrs. W. E. Watkins which she so
graciously opened for the Cherokee
Club. A bowl of lovely Cherokee
roses were used on the buffet and a
number of varieties of spring flow
ers were seen throughout the house.
The tour was concluded at the
home of Mrs. J. B. White of the
Mimosa Club where Victorian ar
rangements were shown in the sun
parlor.
Little Miss Emily White, dainty in
a long dress of blue ruffled net, and
Carol Franklin, becomingly dressed
in pink chiffon, greeted the guests
on the porch and received the tickets.
The house throughout was a treat
for lovers of beautiful flowers and
antiques. Punch and cookies were
served from the dining table which
■was covered with a lovely lace and
cut-work cloth, and decorated with a
handsome arrangement of white
snapdragons, stocks, and yellow
carnations, flanked by candelabra
holding tall chartreuse candles. Mrs.
White and young girls who as
sisted in serving made a lovely pic
ture in their pretty evening dresses.
Throughout the afternoon, Mrs.
Clarence Rogers presided at the
piano and during the evening call
ing hours Mrs. J. W T . O’Neal presi
ded at the piano.
Visitors came from Atlanta, Ce
dartown, Monroe, McDonough, Mon
ticello, Griffin and surrounding
communities, and all were lavish in
their praise of the efforts and ac
complishments of the Garden Clubs
of Jackson.
Mrs. Byron P. Harris and Mrs.
Norris Dean, prominent members of
Atlanta garden clubs, judged the ar
rangement class, and Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Childs of Jenkinsburg, author
ities on plant culture, judged the
horticultural specimens.
The money realized from the sale
of tickets is to be used for a civic
project. A list of the ribbon winners
will be found in another column.
