Fifth Annual
Spring Flower
Show Soon
Committee Gives Proper Arrange
ments for Exhibitors Show
Next Saturday, Sunday.
The Flower Show committee is
planning a bigger and better flower
thow than ever. The Fifth Annual
Flower Show sponsored by the Platts-:
mouth Garden club will be held in
the American Legion building on Sat-
tirday and Sunday. May 21 and 22
Natnre is doing her part and the
flowers will be larger and more beau
tiful this year than ever before. The
schedules and entry blanks are now
ready and will be in the hands of
the committee for distribution the
first of the week.
Below are twelve rules governing
correct flower arrangement:
Rule 1. The strong lines should
be as the base, thus creating stabil
ity and balance, such as placing dark
colored flowers, or heavy leaves, or
large bloows low and near the cen
ter. By making a few experiments
with dicerent material you will soon
lie convinced that this is a wise rule
to follow.
Rule 2. Balance should be obtain
ed without perfect symmetry. By
the application of this rule some of
the most delightful and unexpected
.... . . ,
effects will be produced, without the I
necessity of both sides of the ar- j
rangement being identical. If you
w ill try out this rule by taking some
flowering shrubs letting one spray
rise up and outward on one side, and
another droop on the other side, you
will quickly observe the benefits of
this rule. Skill in the application of !
this rule will produce some very
charming and artistic results.
Rule 3. There should be no cross
ing of stems or branches. With stems,
branches, or heavy groups of leaves
criss-crossing each other the effect
produced is confused and distracting.
Just make two arrangements of flow
ers, one in which the stems and
branches cross each other, ami an
other in which they do not, and ob
Berve the difference. The real pur
pose in flower arrangement is to
have the flowers show at their very
best. Any straight stemmed flowers
will quickly prove this rule.
Rule 4. There should be an un
even number of sprays, flowers or
large leaves used. This rule de
veloped from the stiff and too even
effect often resulting from two, four
or six blooms, in an arrangement.
Count your flowers, sprays, or leaves,
if you are mirtang an arrangement
emphasizing them, and try for an
uneven number.
Rule 5. Always avoid a confusion
of lines in a mass arrangement.
There is always a temptation to put
one more perfect bloom into the ar
rangement, thus over-crowding. If
you resist this temptation the final
effect will generally be much more
satisfactory. Never jam your con
tainer, thus distracting the eye with
too many lines and curves and
varieties of materials. Keep each in
dividual flower in mind, so that it
may show at its best.
Rule 6. No two or more flowers
or sprays should be exactly on the
same level. The reason for this rule
is obviously to prevent the arrange
ment from becoming squared off, too
stiff or too even.
Rule 7. No two or more flowers
or sprays should be exactly above
one another. The reason for this
rule is the same as that of Rule 6.
Rule 8. No two or more flowers
or sprays should be exactly the same
height. The same reason applies.
Rule 9. Always avoid weak lines
or weak curves. This rule refers to
those arrangements, that depend for
their effectiveness, not upon the mass
of flowers or color, but upon outline
and shape. This rule is a warning to
the amateur not to attempt the so
called Japanese arrangement, unless
you are sure of the technique.
Rule 10. Never use a spray of
weak growth between two of strong
growth, or vice versa, that is never
'sandwich.' This is one of the easiest
mistakes to make in arranging flow
ers for show purposes. Unless one
has practiced the rules it is hard at
first to resist the impulse (when
there are two or more different
varieties and colors, but by lumping
or massing different colors or va
rieties. This is one of the most valu
able rules for achieving interesting
and unusual results.
Rule 11. Always avoid combin
ations culturally or seasonally impos
sible. This is a pleasant rule, for it
is one we generally follow instinct
ively. No one would be likely to com
bine orchids with wild daisies, or
tulips with chrysanthemums.
Rule 12. Perfect balance in a line
arangement can be obtained by keep
ing the highest point over its base.
Take a tall spray or long stemmed
flower that you intend to use to pro
cure your height and let it rise at
one side of the arrangement. Now
center it and notice how much firmer
and more balanced your arrangement
becomes. The technique once ac-
quired of arranging flower material '
to conform to the rules for perfection
of artistic arrangement, there still j
remains one other hurdle to sur- j
mount a very difficult one, unfor- i
tunately. Even though your exhibit
may follow every rule to the letter J
there remains one quality it must !
have and which cannot be taught,
and that is distinction or individual- I
lty. There are no rules for achieving
distinction. Sometimes it is produced
by an unusual note of color; an un
expected outline, a different form; a
rare combination of container and
flower material. Distinction is the
unknown quality, the ineffable some
jthing that raises it above the usual, j
On the other hand it is this very
Pursuit of distinction which adds
zest and interest to the pleasure of
arranging flowers.

SEEK BASEBALL TEAM
The baseball situation here is one
that should cause the lovers of this
sport to get together in an effort to
j see that a team is organized and has
, ...
: the opportunity of playing. There is
a great deal of talent in the young
players from seventeen to twenty-five
that should make one of the best
young teams in the state.
The players are anxious that some
of the business, or professional men
of the community take over the job
j of directing the team in the capacity
, of business manager and see that
I they are started out properly for the
season.
i The team have their uniforms from
the last year but are needing other
supplies to get started until they are
jable to secure a few games.
The team will have to play inde
pendent ball now as the southeast
league that they had wished to join
has already started and the locals
were unable to make their entrance.
It is hoped that they may get a game
here soon if they ran get organized.
Several of the players have re
ceived offers from other nearby towns
to play if a team is not started here.
