COMMUNITY NIGHT.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONSFOR FLOWER SHOW

I am s ure all the flower l ov er s o fJ..arberth are delighted with the prospe ct of ou r flrst Flower Show, bu tth e delight of amateur gardeners, l lkemyself, is mJr e o r less tempered withd ou bt s o f a most appalling nature.Without th e aid of a greenhouse orproper forcing facilities, hJW can weinduce our waywa rd p lant s t o b lo omat t he p ro pe r psychological moment?I feel sure that my few p r ized ro sebushes will o ne a nd all bloom eithertoo early or too late for th e FlowerShow, or the omnivJrous rOSe bug willhave devoured them at an early date,or my children will have taken a fancyfor ro se buds and posies that wil l nothe denied. Perhaps Mr. F. DinwiddieWalker , whose In te res t ing article Iread In "Our Town" last week, couldoffer some suggestbns on t he subject.Also. who can suggest a list of annuals. which, planted i n Apr il , wouldhe sure to bloom in June? As f ar a sI know the sweet-pea Is th e only one,b ut t he s eeds s ho ul d b e planted inl\'farch.While w e are on this interestingsubject. I wo ul d like to suggest thata "Gardeners' Exchange" might be ameans of enlarging our flower gardenswith l i tt l e or no expense. The re a remany enthusiasts I know who adoreperennial borders, but the cost ofstarting one is considerable and thecompletion of it fairly makes the"cost :If gardening" prohibit ive. Ifthose Who already have flourishing(or nonflourlshing) flower borderscould exchange slips, roots or seeds,with their less fortunate brJther gardeners, or even g h' e them to poor,struggling beginners who have nothi ng t o exchang e. I bel ieve we couldmake Narberth one b ig f iowerlng garden f rom May t il l November. All enthlistasts please steptt> th e f l ' J n t ~What have yo u f or excilange?

In return for such financial support , it is proposed to give 11free concert ':lne evening of the weekduring the pleasant weather. either inNarberth Park, If it is in proper shapethi s summer, or i n some other favor'able location.In consideration of the fact that itcosts from $100 to $130 every t ime apr:>fessional band of g oo d ' qual i ty !sengaged, it Is readily seen what anadvantage it will 'be to have a goodlocal band available for tOW11 celebratIons.Mr. Brooke Is anxious t o b eg in atthe ea rl ies t possible date this spring,in order to have the band r ea dy forthis season.
