127TH ANNIVERSARY ON SUNDAY
Flower Shows
It may be considered some-
thing of an anomaly to deal with
eir Shows in one and the Same
s
�� Q we. will 1 speak first
of the former:. r.Last''yea,"you
will remember, we, the G.H.S.,
had our own reporter visit old
Chelsea Hospital built at the
instigation of Sweet Nell of Old
Drury for pensioners of the Ser-
vices and in the grounds of which
the great annual floral occasion
is staged. This year we , have
to rely on the Press.
Chelsea is quite unlike any
other flower show. It is not to
the scale of the Continental
Floriades and its exhibits are
aimed at the keen gardener rath-
er than the goggling sight seer.:
There is the great marquee, the,
world's largest tent; the avenues
ofsundries; the rock garden
bar* and the outdoor gardens.
One of the most striking dis-
plays was a rock garden with
waterfall and huge masses of
rock outcropping, the whole
studded with all varieties of
rock and water plants. Some of
the stones must have weighed
20 tons, an immense expenditure
of labor for the six short days
of the show. In the marquee,
Sutton staged one of the great-
est concentrations of annuals
and perennials yob could see
anywhere. Snapdragons and fox-
gloves towered over low grow-
ing calla lilies, the whole back-
ed by flowering shrubs and
climbing vines. The illustrations
show an inverted cone of height
six feet being a display of "Royal
Sovereign" strawberries Jy,the;

en made a brave attempt to cap-
ture some of the atmosphere
of the .Cote d'Azur against the
fog of Father Thames.
But in spite of all these tours
de force, it is really the great
rose growers who make this
show their own. Harry Wheat-
croft was there again as he al-
ways has been, this great hybrid-
iser showing a magnificent bowl
of his novelty called "Zamba,"
a tangerine colored rose with
gold reverse. The several Gode-
rich enthusiasts for McGredy's
roses will be interested to hear
that Mr. Sam claims a break
through this Year. He has pro-
duced a hybrid tea type rose
on a robust bush With floribunda
habit and floriferousness. It is
cherry -rose in color and is nam-
ed "Paddy McGredy" after his
sister.
Now we must turn to, our own
show which will be staged in two
days tube, Saturday, the 24th,
at St. George's Parish Hall. It,
too, should provide some very
fine specimens of roses in the
12 classes for that flower. But
there, is much scope in the 19
other classes for perennial flow-
ers, columbine, lilies, peonies,
delphiniums, to mention only a
few, while there are seven ar-

In 1933 Mr. Blackstone sug-

Rt. Rev. Charles Allen Seager,
a former Goderich boy, had
been chosen , fifth Bishop of
Huron in 1932 ---=the had been
Bishop of Ontario -- and St.
George's was much pleased. A
special invitation was sent him
to visit the parish. It was 23
years after that before Huron
acquired a bishop suffragan to
assist the diocesan; now there
are two, with the new one, Rt.
Rev. H. F. G. Appleyard, serving
five counties, including Huron,
as Bishop of Georgian Bay.

the cash prizes, there are'sev-
eral special -prizes given respec-
tively by Simpson -Sears for the
best rose, of the show; other
than Peace, by Canadian Swift
and by Ryan and Son. The last
two will be offered as door
prizes. The oppcyrtunity is taken
to thank - these donors again.
Exhibits will be received in the
Parish Hall from 9 to 11 a.m.
Exhibitors are asked to arrive
early during this period, and to
put the class number on each
exhibit. Judging will commence
at" 12.30- p.•nr: ' and the = show is
open to the polilic from g.30 to
5.30 p.m. and from 7 to p.m.,
at which hour all exhibits must
be disposed of. The convener
is Mrs. Pridham, from whom
non-members may obtain a class
list on joining the society. We
are relying on a record number
of exhibits and also on a record
attendance bf spectators.
New Gardening Books
There can be . no doubt that
the pleasure of gardening is en-
hanced by even a small know-
ledge of the history of the
plants grown. The late Frank
Kingdon -Ward's "Pilgrimage for
Plants," published by Harrap,
supplies this. You will learn
why the blue poppy, discovered
in 1848, is still a novelty; the
surprising - fact that the reason
musk ..lost its scent ' is that, on
the whole, it never had any;
(See S.S. for 2/3/61. The Scent.
of Musk) where the finest gen-
tians come from and at what
cost in toil they were introduced.
A most interesting book. _

At this meeting it was moved
by Mr. Lewis (that would be Ira)
that a committee draft a scale
of pew rents "at so much per
sitting according to position in
the church." In the following
year it was enacted that pew
rents must be paid in advance,
otherwise they would-be re -let
without notice. Later the rate
was set at $2 per sitting. No. 5
pew was the rector's; No. 6 `was
valued at $34,4 No. 8 at $45.
Revenue from pew rentals was
$520 in 1888. In 1894, R. S.
Williams -and George Porter
moved, that the free pew system
be adopted. _ The matter .was.
shelved, and in, 1906 the vestry
discussed a proposal to increase
the rentals. Six years later,
Charles Seager and C. C. Lee
moved that the pews -==be absol-
utely free," effective July 1, and
this time the vote was 24 in
favor, three against, two ab-
staining.
In the 1880s the rector' evid-
ently was paid $850, the organist
$200, sexton $150,, organ blower
$20 and vestry clerk $50.
Before the motor age ended
them, excursions were popular,
and in 1886 St. George's con-
gregation appointed a commit-
tee . to arrange for one from
Lucan, Parkhill, Clandeboye,
Centralia and Exeter, also for an
excursion on the lake by the
steamer Saginaw Valley, char-
tered at $40. Tickets were sold
at 25c, and the project yielded
$28,20 profit.
Three-quarters of a century
ago, the Ladies' Aid took on
the task of canvassing the „con•
gregation for funds, and increas-
ed subscriptions by $300 to
$1,400. Total receipts that year
were $3,290. - It was proposed
in 1887 that "lady members have
a vote in the vestry, and that
the lay delegates be asked to
bring the matter before Synod."
That came about in due course,
with a proviso that women mem-
bers should not be qualified as
churchwardens, 'and now the
Synod Of Huron has a committee
studying the admission of wo
men as members~ of Synod.
It's pretty hard to convince
