Mr.. kirke, who is a graduate OF
the Sheffield School Of Yale Uni
lversity, designed the beautifully
lporportioned hut that has an al
most Japanese feeling in its light
ness and airiness. He constructed
| il of seasoned, softly mellowed long
leaf pine which he purchased from
an old building which was being
RACED at United and Simonton
Streets.
He painstakingly cut the wood
into proper lengths, removed nails
and extraneous material, and used
1.-THE lumber to build the hut. This
lis being done at the Kirke's Won
Phister Street home, as the hut
has been skillfully designed so it
can be taken down in sections and
Ireassembled at the flower show.
The soft brown tones Of the wood
will complement the base cover
ling which viii be Of woven coco
lnut fronds in an interesting pat
tern which lends both texture and
a rustic quality to the hut.
Screenings of the woven fronds
win also be made for the bases
of the tables holding flower dis
plays around the room. The idea
| of using the theme of the hand
woven mating which is so effective
came during a trip of the Kirkes
Ito Cuba where they were guests
lon one of the large estates which
was beautifully and ingeniously
Handicapped, and included several
little garden houses in the same
feeling as the one that Wallace
Kirke has designed and construct
led.
Within the hut there viii be a
Icentral display Of bloom arrange
lments of tropical Towering trees
Including the tulip tree, bombax,
Ilignum vitae, golden shower, Alex
ander laurel and an orchid tree,
though these viii be subject to SUBJ
stitution because Of weather con-
ditions or seasonal changes
On the six broad lodges in the
side bays viii be tropical flower
arrangements in clear or colored
glass containers to carry out the
feeling of lightness and delicacy.
There win be ported bougainvillia in
the corner inches, and one of the
most interesting Of the hut's dis
plays will be tiny miniature gar

yes on the side brackets.
From the "eves" Of the hut,
which are more like a clerestory,
there will be dozen Peter Hunt
trays with trailing greenery.
Though the hut is only a sec.
ton of the entire show, it is being
constructed at an early stage to
allow time to work on the staging
of the rest Of the exhibits which
will of necessity have to be done
at the approximate time the show
lis assembled.
This suspicious beginning to The
gradual building up to the com

cations of growing into ont
