PAGE FOUR SOCIETY u Garden Club's Flower Show Voted Outstanding Success; (By THEONE LLOYD) Key West Garden club mem- bers brought their most successful Flower Show to a close last night at the public library after nearly 1,500 visitors and residents had the exhibit. The show opened Saturday afternoon. Club officers expressed grati- tude to Col. G. D. Hatfield for the Marine corps guard which took part in the program and to Capt WwW. Jacobs, conden for coope Musicians from >A spiritual singers also helped in making the program a success, There were hothouse varie- ties, no greenhouse specimens, but were taken from yards, vacant lots, parks and along the beaches. The library itself looked like garden from Arabian Nights with palm fronds from floor to ceiling | and a profusion of color and ar- rangements that was breath- taking. | The tropical blossom display which w handled by Mrs J. J. Trevor, Mrs. William R. Warren} and Mrs. Ella Cash, was lavish] with colors ranging from pastels | to brilliants. Mrs. Trevor's ginger plant which grows no place else | in the U The Thumbergia old fashioned ve was admired as much as w exotic African Tulip. The Lenten | Tree which blooms only during! Lent was the inspiration of a! poem written by one of the visi-| tors. ! The tropical fruit pared by Mrs. Stepher lass and Mr. and Mrs. Earl John- son included ti-es (egg fruit), prickly pear, sugar apple, yuca, malanga (a water lilly, the roots of which used as food), mon- stera delicioca, mastics, sapodilla, kolamondin, papaya, sour sop, tamarind coco plums, bread fruit and others—which in spite of their names 1 appearance, sur- prisingly all are edible. The seeds and seed pods gath-' ered by Wallace Kirke were of particular interest to seed grow- ers, and contained over fifty dif- + ferent specimens. A couple of years ago, an owner of a northern seed company was so interested in the collection that he took the whole exhibit with him at the close of the Flower Show. Two huge banks of ferns ar- ranged by Myrs. Mercedes Taylor embellished one end of the hall, between which the roses Were shown by Mrs. G. D.

Table arrangements drew com- ments of acclamation—especially from the ladies, for the wealth of ideas given them—using figurines, § fans, and there was one using an old Mongolian hand warmer with flowers of red. or- ange and yellow and a pair of red Chinese shears as an_ interesting accent. Mrs. Joseph B.

The service was dedicated to the Salvation Army S conducted, in part, by Comman- dant John Heather, retired, of Lakeland. Commandant Heather had charge of the Salvation Army's work in Key West some 25 years ago. Mrs. Heather spoke briefly, reaffirming her love for Key West and its people.

S. Gruber, has been established for the past twenty- |two years, instead of 33 as stated. to most, Key Westers for 14 years as the, pet parrot of Mr. and’ Mrs. Ray Elwood, 609 Ashe street, is dead. The parrot, whose wide ac- quainta among Key West resi- aents was described in The Citi- zen about three years ago, died Friday n at about 8:00 o'clock. Mrs. Elwood found the pet's body lying stiff on the floor of its cage when she returned from a revival meeting. Constable Elwood attempted to have the bird mounted, but was unable to find anyone who could do the job. The body has been encased in cement by Charles Richardson, son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Elwood, and on the top of the block, he inscribed: “Blessings on thee, noble bird; The Master called and you have heard”. Elwood purchased the _ bird from Dr. Armando Cobo when it was six months old. At that time “Greenback” had picked up two words of Spanish, which he repeated occasionally, but since then all his conversation had been in English. “Greenback” wandered away from home about five years ago, but an ad in The Citizen brought him: back three days later. He “disappeared” on a number of occasions but always came _ back himself or was found soon after leaving his cage. He was fond of women and would call “Bye Polly” after them as long as they were within hearing. He would sit for hours in the branches of a hibiscus tree on the Elwood sidewalk and keep up a running conversation with pa by. Greenback” disliked small children of both sexes and look- ed on men with no_ particular favor. After a girl had reached the age of about 12 he was will- ing to offer his friendship and enjoyed riding on the handlebars of girls’ bicycles. P.-T. A.
