GARDEN CLUB
Monthly business meeting Tues-
day In the Library included $2
voted for "Seeds for England ," and
plans to charter a bus for the
Flower Show in Boston. Classes
for the annual flower show of the
club were read by Mrs. Raymond
S. Person. About 50 new seed cat-
alogs were reported placed In the
Library. A map showing plans to
make a natural park of Dunbar 's
Point was shown by Thomas Milne ,
who answered Questions.
Mrs. George Hla.iey, who while
living in Hawaii; studied the Orien-
tal method of flower arrangement,
was the speaker. She described the
terrain of that country, where the
climate never varies, making It |
ideal for the growing of trees and
flowers. She said: "Most growing
things have been brought there and
planted during the past 100 years. t
Now there Is every flower imagin-
able, and every home' has its own j
gp . !>n. Many trees , Including ham-
boo, sandalwood , palm , memosn and
crepe myrtle are spread abroad all
over the land. These are woods for j
carving. Wood used for building Is
brought In from the mainland."
The speaker told of hibiscus In
gardens and of "Cooper Ranch
Inn," which is not a ranch as we
know it but a place where hibiscus
is raised. She also spoke of the
nig ht-blooming cereus, of which a
hedge was planted 100 years ago.
On the night of the bloom a proces-
sion forms and progresses like a
pilgrimage to a cathedral. Thou-
sands and thousands ol flowers are
on display as the petals unfold.
Mrs. Blimey mentioned the
charming custom and symbolism of
the wearing of flowers, including
ginger, carnation and orchid, and
the wreaths of flowers called "leis,'
which the natives give to tourists.
"In Hawaii ," she said, "May DU;
has become Lei Day. There Is an
Inexhaustible supply of flowers and
pageants of flowers are held to de-
pict old legends."
The speaker continued by telling
of the Outdoor Circle of Women , or
a garden club. She was a guest
member . The work of these women
is to beautify the city. The schools
and public buildings are set in
parks of land which they have tried
to make as beautiful as their own
gardens. These people hold their
flower show outdoors in a park.
There Is a long pergola by the wa-
terside where the exhibit. Flowers ,
including the bird of paradise and
orchid are arranged In lels and
bouquets by Japanese and Orien-
tals In the Oriental manner. Their
show differs from ours in that no
one's name appears on anything,
because the people know at a glance
whose arrangement It Is, There are
no awards.
In speaking ot Japanese flower
arrangements, she said that It
dates buck to 100 B, C. Men and
women have spent u lifetime in its
study. In comparing Oriental and
American flower arrangements, she
gave her tale: "Forget all things
you have read in all books, and
forget all rules. Make something
which you like and which expresses
you at your best. Never make It
when you are tired , or cross, nor
because someone asked you to do
it." The Japanese rule differs In
that the arrangement must express
a story or be a symbol. It Is not
make to express you but to express
something beautiful; and It fol-
lows rules because the mathematics
of the art means something."
hi continuing, the speaker ex-
plained that all of the Japanese
house Interiors are kept very plain;
there is no arranging on tables;
they have a little niche and from
a cedar closet where they keep
their works of art , they bring out
a treasure and muke a flower ar-
rangement which Buits that treas-
ure. The Buddhist Temple , of which
there are half a dozen in a town,
is dedicated to either love, beauty,
endurance , etc., and inspires ar-
rangements expressing those final-
ities.
Mrs. Blaney exhibited a round
temple vase, symbolizing that all
life Is a circle, it stands on three
legs, symbolizing three elements
to life within the circle. In Winter
a vase of bronze or brass or some-
thing heavy is used; in summer a
vase which looks like summer. In
winter no water shows around the
i circular top ; in spring some water
Is visible; and In summer the cir-
cle is filled with water to look
cool. She showed an arrangement
of plum blossoms in the temple vase
as a picture of springtime, This
was a semi-formal arrangement , ac-
cording to Japanese thought , bo-
i cause It was curved. She explained,
"To start with there must be a
I forked stick , or stems put together
j to look like one stem or stick. The
j amount of curve determines whetb-
i er the arrangement Is formal or
; seml-rormal. The branch has a
; front and a back. If It curves to
j the left , it denotes a weakness and
1 signifies It is for the lutltOB. Tho
! Japanese have learned through
| long experience that 'the wisdom of
! art Is the concealing of art.' I do
j not udvise you to attempt a Japan-
| eso arrangement because you can-
< Hot. It looks simp le but it is very
; complicated, "
