Garden Club Hears Two
Wendell Matrons Lecture
For the second time this garden
club year guest speakers have ad
dressed the club even though the
members passed a resolution at the
beginning of the club year to do
the programs themselves.
Monday night, Feb. 10, Mrs. John
Glover of Wendell and Mrs. Wil
liam J. Ammons of Hephzibah
lectured to the club on the me
chanics and construction of flow
ering arranging.
Mrs. Glover showed the club
members different styles and de
signs of containers in which ar
rangements could be made effec
tively.
“The soft, dainty flowers — roses,
pansies, etc. — need to be arranged
in fine containers, such as silver
or exquisite crystal,” Mrs. Glover
said.
The containers Mrs. Glover ex
hibited were loaned to the speak
er by Whitley Furniture Co., Inc.
The major portion of them were
beautiful and handsome pottery
of modem design.
The major portion of the pro
gram was used by Mrs. Ammons,
who lectured on arranging.
The essence of her talk was to
enjoy yourself when you make
flower arrangements.
“If it gets to be downright
drudgery,” she said, “stop! You
cannot create under those condi
tions.”
Mrs. Ammons demonstrated by
making some arrangements. Per
tinent points of her address were:
work down in making an arrange
ment, keep the main line simple,
save the choice blooms for the fo
cal point, and do have fun doing it.
“Fit your arrangement into your
home,” Mrs. Ammons said. “Don’t
use a severe, modernistic arrange
ment in a room filled with Victo
rian furniture; or don’t put a co
lional design in an ultra-modern
type house.”
She said, too, that the type of
container is important for an ar
rangement.
Following the addresses, a short
business session was conducted
with the president, Mrs. Carsey
Tippett, presiding.
The meeting was in the home
of a club member, Mrs. Eldred
Rountree, with Mrs. Floyd Ed
wards, co-hostess. They served a
refreshment course of cherry tarts
with scoops of vanilla ice cream,
nuts and coffee.
