World Flower Show Attracts Local Clubs

The colors of gorgeous flowers and exotic tropical plants will draw hundreds from the Decatur area to the world flower and garden show at McCormick Place, Chicago, 111., March 7-15. The show, a welcome harbinger of spring, was well attended by local garden club members last year. More than 90,000 trees, plants, shrubs and flowers are now being carefully nursed in greenhouses to be at their peak for the show. 2,000 Varieties Hundreds of skilled artisans work the year-around to produce the designs, plant materials, sod and soil used in the show’s spectacular feature gardens. Last spring, garden designs were roughed for their sponsors’ approval. When final decisions of these designs were reached, construction of materials for ornamental portions of the gardens was started. This included fences, benches, wooden decks, trellis, screens, fountains and statuary. The Chicago world flower and garden show is the nation's largest from many standpoints. For instance, it will contain over 90,000 plants of 2,000 varieties and 700 species — all will be in full bloom or leaf when the show opens. Selected Last Fall Last fall all plants materials were selected for the show. They are spending the winter months in “cold storage’ and will soon be “forced” into bloom or leaf thrpugh careful control of temperature, moisture and light. Trees and shrubs (300 varieties) are stored at temperatures which inhibit their growth. As show time nears, their growth will be forced with steam. Roses were potted in October and held at temperatures of 50 degrees. Around the middle of February this temperature will be raised and the growth commences. Bulbs over 50,000 spring flowering varieties, were potted in October and are stored at 48 degrees until the time arrives for them to accelerate their growth in greenhouses. Preparing plant materials is but one phase of the flower show’s extensive activities. Over 2% million pounds of top soil has been stored in sheds through the winter so it will be in top condition for these gardens. Sod, 16,000 square feet, is 'in a “deep freeze”! Velvety, flawless sod was cut last fall and frozen to assure - its healthy appearance when thawed for the show gardens. 51,893 Bulbs From a statistical point, here’s what the world largest flower show requires: 5,919 trees, shrubs, ground covers; 5,695 perennials and annuals. 6,800 wild flowers, 1,600 roses, 3,600 orchids and tripicals, 18.000 cut flowers, 51,893 bulbs, 16,000 square feet of sod, 40,500 cubic feet of top soil (2% million pounds), 120,000 pounds of stone, and 20,000 bricks. Using these materials, skilled craftsmen will have less than four days to build all the major gardens in the show. The bricks alone, for use in walls and fences, would be enough to build about four homes! Victor Hofer, traffic manager of McCormick Place, reports that special parking areas are now being set aside for the hundreds of buses which bring flower show enthusiasts from as far as 600 miles away. The exposition hall management is also making arrangements for luncheons and dinners for these out-of-town visit■ors. Many flower and garden clubs plan group trips to Chicago for a day and many for a .week-end at the nation’s largest flower show.
