Garden Clubbers Revel in Charm,
Hospitality of Old and New South
The authentic garden setting
into which the Biltmore Hotel’s
Exhibition Hall has been trans
formed for the 34th National
Garden Club Convention, may
have been “staged”, but there
is nothing synthetic about the
beauty and hospitality of the
South, according to many of the
2.900 delegates attending from
47 states including Alaska, and
the Virgin Islands.
Interpretation of the Conven
tion’s theme, “From Our Herit
age, New Horizons”, is a tri
bute to the ingenuity of Decor
ations Co-Ordinator Mrs. Don
ald Hastings, and Architect
William Pauley, who designed
the setting with some 250 Ari
zona cypress trees. Introducing
the theme was the Grecian

classic garden, with gleaming
white columns and urns of
Easter lilies. The succeeding
gardens extending the Hall’s
length, ranged from formal
ante-bellum creations with
brick patios, lace brick walls,
snowy candytuft, pink and
white azaleas and splashing
■fountains, to meditation niches
featuring figurines of St. Fran
cis of Assisi and the gardening
patron saint, St. Fiacie; and a
Japanese Garden with a Steffen
Thomas sculpture, “Dancing
Couple” as the focal point. The
theme was further keynoted in
the Exhibits, of which Mrs,
Anne Dunlap Hardy and Mrs.
Hugh Hosch of Gainesville were
respective chairman and co
chairman. More than 20 states I
showed arrangements in the
Pompeian Room; where the
National Council of Books, U.
S. Forest Service and Public
Health Service also staged ex
hibits.
Intensifying interest in the
current Convention is the fact
that the nation’s first garden
club was founded in Athens,
Ga., in 1891, witn Mrs. Lamar
Cobb as the first president. The
Founders Memorial Garden will
be one of the stops on the post
convention “Georgia Hospital
ity Tour”. Also, contributing to
the record breaking attendance
of the Convention, were the
splendid efforts of Mrs. Nat S.
Turner, Convention Chairman,
Mrs. John D. Cherry, Co-
Chairman, and Mrs. John D.
Harris, Convention Publicity
Chairman, who were every-

where at once, throughout the
Convention.
Mrs. Charles B. Nettleton,
National President, graciously
presided over the Convention,
during which members were
royally entertained at teas, re
ceptions, luncheons and sight
seeing tours.
Executive Board meetings
and a Cyclorama and Grant
Park Tour composed Saturday's
program. Sunday’s agenda in
cluded Church Services, a Dog
wood Tour to Stone Mountain
Park; Commerce Club Tea, and
an evening reception.
Among Monday’s speakers
were Dr. Noah Langdale, Jr.
Ga. State College president;
Mrs. Charles B. Nettleton, Nat
ional president; Mrs. Claude
Carter, Garden Club of Georgia
president; Gov. Carl Sanders,
who spoke on “Our Heritage,
the Citizen’s Responsibility”;
and Laurance S. Rockefellow,
opening banquet speaker.
Tuesday’s was perhaps the
most popular luncheon. Presid
ed over by Mrs. Fred Mauntel,
3rd vice-president, of Missouri,
the luncheon was followed by
a fashion show, presented by
Rich’s. Its theme “When Cotton
was King” was delightfully ac
centuated by red checked table
cloths, with centerpieces consis
ting of authentically costumed
; cotton pickers and cotton .stalks
with snowy bolls; and southern
fried chicken served in small
“cotton baskets” wrapped in
red bandanna kerchiefs.
A “Southern Heritage" place
ment Flower Show was includ
ed in the afternoon’s Tour of
Homes, which terminated at
the Atlanta Art Association
with a tea.
Leo Aikman, popular journa
list and after dinner speaker,
was heard at Wednesday morn
ing's breakfast. A Flower Show
by Atlanta Flower Show As
sociation at Lenox Square fol
lowed the luncheon, at which
Mrs. Homer Harris, Deep South
Regional Director, presided;
and the evening’s banquet was
presided over by Mrs. G. Tay
lor Buchanan, 2nd vice-presid
ent of Texas.
Many delegates will leave
Friday on the Georgia Hospi-
I tahty and Caribbean Tour.
Delegates attending from the
greatest distance were those
from Alaska and the Virgin
Islands. Mrs. Fred Hagland,
Alaska state president, of Fair
banks, who has lived in our
i northernmost state for almost a
i quarter of a century, told of
nine foot tall delphinium.
“Surprisingly”, she stated, “al
though our growing season
lasts only from the middle of
May until early September,
with killing frosts sometimes
coming in mid-July, we do have
plant life which survives the
frigid winters”. Service Berry
(a favorite bird feed), wild
spirea. wild geraniums and our
state flower, the forget-me-not.
are a few of the hardy shrubs.”
Fairbanks, with a population
of 14,000, boasts five Garden
। Clubs, she said.
The Haglands* 3 sons are
never happy away from Alaska,
their mother continued. Their
I youngest was born there, but
I his twin brothers were three
months old when they went
North. She enjoys coming back
to the states, but loves her
adopted state, where she says
private planes are quite
। prevalant, and the easiest as
। well as quickest way of travel.
, The Virgin Island delegates
; from Charlotte Amalie, St.
। Thomas, stated this was their
| first National Convention Mrs.
■ John Webb, a native of Louisi
ana, and Mrs. Charles Bellows,
formerly of Connecticut, had
both been garden club mem
bers in the states, before going
to the Islands some 16 years
ago. The St. Thomas Club is
only one year old, and has 14
active members.
St. Thomas, with 14.000 popu
lation has a mean temperature
of about 76, with perhaps only
2 degrees difference in the
seasons, Mrs. Webb staled.
| Consequently flowers flourish
the year around. Vivid colors
in hibiscus, (sometimes grafted
for multi-color blossoms). Pat
ria. a blue flowering vine, and
flowering trees such as the
Scarlet Flamboyant, crimson
African Tulip, and Lignum
Vitae, (bearing clusters of vio
let like blossoms) and stephan
otis afford a panorama of beau
ty, intensified by a turquoise
sea. They use much driftwood
in arrangements, and never
lack inspiration for creative
ness, Mrs. BeUfiwn said.
Although they visit the Slates
each year, they enjoy the cas
ual, relaxed way of life in the
Is.ands Mra. Webb concluded.
