An arrangement of iris in

but they are reduced in width
to better fit the size of the con-
tainer. The main flower rises
high above these leaf-fans,
showing the exquisite poise and
detailed structural beauty of
the flower. Tightly wrapped
buds suggest succession. A
secondary stalk is arranged a
bit lower to cause the eye to
appreciate the equally beauti-
full form of the leaves.
This severe setting of flower
and leaves is gaily underscored
by the use of some bittersweet
vines which swirl in looping
curves from the container and
rise to frame and intersect the
space surrounding container
and flowers. This is a bit of
nonsense, a gay contrast, a
linear frivolity which merely
accentuates the stately and
majestic habit of one of the
most important flowers of our
gardens.

The blooming period of iris
is a very extended one. The
earliest blossoms of these deli
cate and fragile flowers appear
in early spring and continue to
a magnificent profusion in May
and June. The bearded varie-
ties do taper eff in June, but
the interesting species iris, the
water iris, the japanese varie-
ties, the beautiful and distinc-
tive Louisiana iris follow them.
Some iris are fall bloomers.
Iris are prolific and are usu-
ally seen in great masses in
the garden. When it comes to
using the iris blossoms in an
arrangement however, we uSu-
ally shy away from using too
many Towering stalks. The in
dividual blossom of the iris is
of rare beauty and we feel it
needs to be given a very special
setting where it will occupy the
center of the stage. Then only
will the tranSlucency of the
curved petals be seen. Three
petals stand erect and we
know them as the standards
of the iris. They differ in size
considerably with the varieties
but generally stand erect or
at an angle. The three outer
petals hang downward and are
called the falls. In some iris the
falls produce thick and snowy
line of fine hairs which stretch
down the lower half of the
petal. These are the bearded
iris in contrast to the beardless
iris. In addition, the styles of
the iris are colored and appear
: to look like petals which cup
over the stigma and the
stamen.
Whether they grow from
rhyzomes or bulbs. it is the
. difference in flower structure
! which gives the iris such a

A Beech Side Trip
Along Jersey Shore

"The Pleasant Mills of Sweet
water" was built. Today part
of the surrounding area still
uses the name of Sweetwater.
1t is a short drive here via
the Garden State Parkway and
Route 8, then a turn west at
New Gretna and a drive along
Route 542. Also, a turn off
from Route 80 at Hammonton
or Elwood leads here. The
roads are marked.
1t is hard to believe that
three-rnasted vessels came up
the Mullica from Great Bay
to here. During the Revolu-
tionary War many a ship with
supplies intended for the Brit
ist armies arrived here to be
unloaded and the cargo carted
by wagon to General Wash
ington's troops at Valley
Forge.
Privateering was actively
carried on. Other supplies from
the farms and mills and iron
furnaces in the area were also
smuggled across the State.
In those days the stage
coach run from Cooper's
Ferry (now Camden) to the
coast passed through this
town.
At the Kate Aylesford Man
sion, marked by a sign, it is
said many patriots, privateers
and planners of the Revolu-
ton met. The house was built
in 1857 by Elijah Clark. 1t
received its name from the
heroine of the novel, although
the characters were fictional.
Across the road is the old
mill where the cotton products
and thread were loaded on
small ships anchored nearby.
In 1861 the Pleasant Mills
Paper Co. started operation in
the same mill and continued
until 1920. with some rebuild
ing following a fire in 1879.
In 1851 a summer playhouse
opened in the building using
the original beams and floor
ing and operated for several
years.
The Methodist Church here
was founded in 1853 in a log
cabin built and presented to
the people by Elijah Clark.
The present structure dates
from 1908. A walk through the
church cemetery will reveal
some grave markers of stone,
native bog iron and cedar, over
two centuries old.

Need Seen for
Meeting Hall
BY DAVID S. HUGO
Contributing Writer

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del
The arrival here next week
nd of what is expected to be
one of the largest convention
gatherings in this resorts his
tory will serve to again focus
attention of both residents and
visitors on Rehototh Beach's
most outstanding need-a con-
vention hall.
A decade or more ago, when
Rehoboth Beach still lacked
many Of the modern housing
and dining facilities that have
since appeared on the local
scene, the need for a hall
capable Of housing even small
conventions was apparent.
However, some of Delaware'S
statewide organizations faith
fully returned to Rehoboth
Beach each summer for an
nual gatherings. At the time,
they frequently experienced
difficulty in housing and feed
ing their delegates in addition
to the problem of finding a
hall sufficiently large for
meeting purposes.
Even in those days, efforts
were being made by the area S
business people to find a solu-
ton to the hall problem. Still
greater effort was put forth
when Rehoboth Beach began
losing some of its convention
business in the mid-1950's.
At one time, it looked as
if the problem might be solved
through. naturalization of a
proposal that called for con-
struction of a combined Mu-
nicipal Building-Armory that
would have involved Federal
and State funds in addition
to local capital and would
have put city offices under the
same roof with a large audi
torium suitable for use either
as a convention facility or as
a National Guard drill hall.
This plan did not materialize.
During the past three years,
Rehoboth Beach has expert
enced a building boom that
has added new motels, motor
courts, and restaurants to the
local scene, providing suf-
ficient facility to not only take
care of the needs of the in
creasing numbers of Dela-
wareans and out-of state folk
who spend their vacations here
but also adequate to servicing
all the needs of convention
groups-except for meeting
place.
Three years ago, one of the
States largest organizations
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
returned to Rehoboth Beach
after an absence of several
years and used the facilities
of the modern R e h o b o h
Beach High School for con-
vention business sessions.
This same organization re-
turns next weekend for its
31st annual convention and
third in a row at Rehoboth
Beach. School facilities-audi-
torium, cafeteria, and various
multi purpos, rooms, will
again be used for Friday and
saturday business sessions.

OCEAN CITY, Md.-The in
creasing number of ,conven-
tions being held in this resort
has led Maryland's Governor
j. Millard Tawes to appoint a
committee, headed by Ocean
City's Mayor Hugh T. Cropper,
jr., to investigate the pos
sibility of the construction of
q convention hall in this area.
The town is a natural spot
for a convention site and
would draw organizations from
the Baltimore and Washing
ton area that now leave the
State to hold their conven-
tionS. Many are attracted to
the New Jersey shore resorts
where convention facilities are
available.
Ocean City has everything
needed to make any copven-
ton a success except a build
ing big enough to accom-
modate large groups.
There are many fine res
taurants featuring Eastern
Shore dishes in a relaxing
atmosphere. Shopping centers
and gift shops are plentiful
and there are amusements and
entertainment of every variety.
Another point is that it can
easily be reached. Within $50
miles of Washington, Balti-
more and Philadelphia, it
would draw many groups from
these areas. Most of the route
is over modern highways, many
of them dual roads for driving
pleasure.
Several of the large airline
companies are looking into the
possibility of direct service
into the new Ocean City Air
port. Advanced convention
bookings would undoubtedly
make this a reality in the near
future.
Even without a convention
hall, Ocean City has booked
over so conventions from May
through the end Of September.
One of the largest of these
groups will be the 69th an
nual convention of the Mary
land State Firemen's Assn.
scheduled for June 21-23.
More than 200 fire companies
for a total attendance of ap-
proximately 1000 people are
expected to attend. Advance
reservations are heavy and
many people have booked thru
the week end following the
convention.
Scheduled activities for the
convention include a variety
show on Wednesday evening,
a crab dinner on Thursday,
and a dance in the Pier Ball
room on Friday night.
The highlight of the con-
