similar conditions has been
under way for over a year. 1t
has now approached the stage
where it can be put on display.
The Coming Out Party" will
be May "a; according to Mrs.
Charles Bittinger, who has been
one Of the leaders from the
time Of its inception.
The present displays at the
Arboretum are highlighted by
the finest magnolia blooms in
years-no freeze damage to
date. The camellias, while still
rather small are more than
making up for lack of size by
good bloom. The crabapples
should be at their peak in
about two weeks. The first of
the azaleas should be open in
about 10 days or two weeks.
The peak azalea bloom is ex-
pected about May 2, but there
will be azalea bloom until the
early part of June. Visitors in
terested in azaleas should make
several visits during this Pc
riod in order to see the differ
ent types from small early, to
the late Exbury Hybrid blooms
in June.
The Arboretum is open to the
public Monday through Friday
from 8 am. to 4::30 pm. On
week ends, Saturday and Sun
day, the hours are from 10 am.
to 7 pm. These weekend spe-
cial hours will prevail from
April Is through May Is. It is
best for visiting groups either
to call the director, DR.. Henry
T. Skinner, and make arrange
ments for special guides. or to
write. Advance arrangements,
because Of the growing inter-
est in this finest of floral dis
plays in the Washington area,
is advisable.

Now that the Towering sea-
son is under way at the Ma
tional Arboretum, visitors are
coming from far and near to
enjoy the beauty as well as to
learn about the trees and
shrubs.
Some Is groups already have
served notice on the Arboretum
that they expect to come. These
groups, and they range from
two or three carfuls to several
bus loads in size, have posed
quite a problem on the limited
arboretum staff.
To help them, the National
Capital Garden Club League
has provided a committee
under the leadership of Mrs.
C. H. Luse Of the Belle Haven
Garden Club. This committee
Is training a dozen or so quail
fed individuals who can spare
the time to undergo the train
ing necessary to be effective
guides. Mrs. G. G. Lahr is vice
chairman.
Because these visitors; many
Of them here for some conven-
ton are interested only in the
beauty Of the different plant
ings, it takes someone familiar
with the Arboretum to be an eff
fective guide. However, because
there are those who come to
learn about plants as well as
to enjoy the beauty, the guide
must be able to tell about the
plants, their growth habits and
cultural requirements. 1t is
hoped to amplify the guide
service through the services of
some Of the more experienced
gardeners who can help the
visitors not only to admire but
also to learn. This phase of
the committees work is in the
formative stage.
Another outstanding National
Capital Garden Club League
activity in the Arboretum is
the planting and developing of

planting of ferns and many

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
An Easter EnsembIe-Not Redundant
BY MRS. HERBERT H. eREeER.

height Of the lines. I added for
the joy of my grandchildren a
white porcelain Easter bunny
which further helps this bal
ance. This accessory belongs to
my No. l daughter, who was

Year Of the Rabbit"
Not Too Greet q Moss
When I grouped the Easter
lilies into the framework Of
branches. I tried not to spoil
their beauty by masSing them
too closely or too low in the
container. I had some trouble
overcoming til cir umbellate
habit, which poiseS the flower
heads into several opposing di-
rections. Patience and invisible
tying in a spot or two provide
a unified grouping.
1t is easy to see that this
material lends itself to the de-
sired three dimensional effect.
Foreground, underground and
background were easily ar
ranged.
- The yellow stamens of the
lilies are usually removed from
the centers. This is done be-
cause the ripe pollen will fulfill
its function and the flowers will
fade. Buds in the arrangement
will open slowly and the COM
pact stamens are readily re-
moved. The cherry blossoms as
we'll as the lilies drink lots of
water, so be faithful about add
ing fresh water. This too will
lengthen their life and your
pleasure.
To maintain an airy and free
design, redundant use Of the
plant material had to be
avoided. Transitional move
ment through use of large, me-
dium and smaller forms induces
the eyes to wander along my
pathways Of design. Heavy,
large, light. fine and small areas
are woven together with open
spaces into beautiful tapestry
Of spring.
