QBARS - v13n3 Tacoma Chapter American Rhododendron Society Show
Tacoma Chapter ARS Show
The tenth annual show of the Tacoma Chapter, American Rhododendron Society was held in the Lobby of the Bank of California N. A., May 16th and 17th, 1959. For a second year the show was competitive. The judges were Bruce Leber, Harry Madison, and Ralph Jacobson. Our hats are off to the fine job they did. Our Chapter is grateful to the Bank of California for providing the spacious and beautiful setting for our shows. As always all the members got behind the show committee all the way, and everyone felt the show was another big success.
The day preceding the show was rainy and very windy. Instead of causing disaster, the plants and trusses brought to the show seemed more fresh, and in better condition than ever before.
The following members acted as heads of the various committees: Ted Van Fossen, Bank crews and Properties; Russ Coovert, Publicity and Truck Dispatcher; John Eichelser, Plants for Awards; Beth Bower and Gladys Johnson, Refreshments; Chuck Edmunds, Cut Trusses; Howard Harmon and the Tacoma Park Department, Center Lobby Display; Carl Fawcett, Cups, Trophies, Ribbons and Judges; Chuck Trumpore, Hospitality; Ted Fawcett and Bob Ramsey, Society Display Designed by Landscapers Northwest; George and Florence Pease, Species Display; Myrtle Turner, Schedules; Florence Pease, Secretary; Art Turner, Boxes used under plants.
Commercial displays were shown by H. L. Larson; A. R. Heineman; I. S. Broxson with Tacoma Seed Company; Budil Nursery, Tacoma, with Clark's Rainbow Nursery, Olympia; and the Tacoma Azalea Gardens.
