GREENLEAF 1941 EVANSTON The fo1lowing report of the 1929 Chicago Garden and Flower show was made for the Kenilworth Home and Garden club by Mrs. Rufus Porter: To really know a show one must work in and with one- not only at homebut where it is actually in the makingnot until then does one realize the enormousness of it or get the real entht1siasm of it. This was brought to me strongly when I went to the Sherman five days before the opening of the show and saw the work going on, not so much in the garden section, for but few had started, but among the professional gardeners. The huge bare room, men everywhere, building pillars into trees, building staging of every descriptionthe huge rock garden for instance is all built of wood first, different planes and gullie s, then this staging covered with the rock and dirt and everywhere the different materials for . the b:lckground of each special setting. It was like a little city with bricklayers, stoneworkers, electricians, plumbers, and carpenters, all so busy and, in spite of huge piles of tufa rock,- slate, bricks, black dirt and peat, law and order. The setting was there without the glory of the blooms or the effective lighting, for when one first went into this rooni it seemed in semi-darkness and not particularly warm. Plans Own Garden Two davs later I went to m y own room, smaller than the big exhibition hall, but with the same activities going on , to work on my own gardennot a "Practical Garden" as · it was afterward s marked hut- just a little garden to be enjoyed summer and winter. Perhaps right here it would be well to mention the work already accomplished. First-what to do in the limited space? It looked so much larger at home than in the hall of the Hotel Sherman. · · It seemed to me that a s there was no time to force flowers and a s the sever e winter had made me realize the real pleasure gained from the evergreens I would reproduce a bit. which I knew gave great joy. Hence my evergreens-with Clytie presiding over them and protected by them. Now secure the evergreens, and ones growin!! out of doors to {!et the eli ffer- . ·- . .......
