Flower Show To Be Held Outdoors For First Time

Flower Show To Be Held Outdoors For First Time

Ann Arbor will have its first out-of-doors flower show Tuesday, when the public will be admitted free to the Law Quadrangle on S. University Ave. and S. State St., for a display of specimen blooms from any of the city’s gardens.

The location in the cloisters of the Lawyers club, will provide a worthy setting for the shelves of early summer flowers that are out in such profusion ahead of the usual season.

The Ann Arbor Citizens Flower Show will be open from 1:30 to 8:30, and entries are to be made only between 7 and 11 o’clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Raleigh Schorling of Lenawee Dr. and Mrs. W. D. Lent-Koop of Day St. have charge of the entries.

Under the direction of Mrs. Russell T. Dobson, jr., of Martin Pl., general chairman, some of the most experienced and capable flower show workers in this part of the state have. been busy for weeks, planning something less magnificent than the huge three-day shows of the recent years, but something quite as choice and satisfactory and artistic.

A new attraction that will be welcomed by amateur gardeners is a division for new introductions in plant material, with Mrs. Robert Alling of Lenawee Dr. as chairman. New types of plants from seed or from grafting will be exhibited in this class.

Mrs. James Inglis of Highland Rd. and Mrs. William G. Dow of Shadford Rd., co-chairmen of classifications, announced the divisions and requirements in The News of Thursday. They have a few reprints of the list for Ann Arbor men, women or children, for amateurs and professionals in flower growing, who wish to enter specimen blooms in the show. There will be, no classes for arrangements nor for cups.

There are classes for exhibiting irises, peonies, roses, delphiniums, and petunias of a great variety of types and colors, also for many perennials. Ribbons will be awarded in these classes, and will be given to the winners at 8:30 Tuesday night at the close of the show.
