vile IuQc, WdSillllSGOIl l1Oi loC dllu
local show chairman. has given
the club all bulbs used in the
Guide garden exhibits.
The bulbs will be used in a
memorial garden being planned
by the club in Blair Park, Silver
Spring. Club officials said the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission now is making
plans for the memorial garden.
Plants to Be Dried.
The bulbs will be left in the pots
in which they have been exhibited
atthe show for the last week until
all foliage has died. They then
will be dried and stored for plant
ing next year.
The bulbs have lost some
strength by being forced, it was
said, but with proper treatment
should make brilliant future dis
play.
Almost everyone is familiar with
the redbud, which in the spring
covers the mountainsides with a
sheen of reddish purple. But, until
this week, few had ever seen a
white variety of this common tree.
White redhud, or Cercis Canade
Alba or white Judas tree, was used
in the Adolph Guide Sons Co. gold
medal garden. and so many ques
tions came in about the trees that
finally a sign was placed in the
garden giving the name.
Perfected Only Recently.
The white Judas tree is a sam
pie of the plant breeders skill and
was perfected only recently.
Robert Roland, manager said
more than $4,000 persons visited
the show through Monday. He
anticipated a total of about 10000
visitors by closing time tonight.
Mr.. Roland said there is no
chance the show will return to
Washington next year. He added,
however, that Baltimore has a
fair chance" of getting the snow
next spring.
1t has been suggested that the
show alternate between Washing
ton and Baltimore. If it becomes
permanent, it will be staged by
local florists and nursery interests.
Mrs. Emmanuel B. Perry, chair
man of the Garden Club section,
announced that Mr.. Charles Bran
nan, wife of the Secretary of
Agriculture, will be honor guest
of her section today and will have
