QBARS - v17n3 New York Chapter Rhododendron Show
New York Chapter Rhododendron Show
The New York Chapter held its annual Rhododendron Show at Planting Fields Arboretum, Oyster Bay, L. I., N. Y. on Sunday, May 26th, 1963. After judging, it was open to the public free of charge. A day of cool weather and a few showers were no deterrent to our many members and friends who not only enjoyed our show but the magnificent display of rhododendrons and azaleas at Planting Fields.
Many notables and distinguished guests were present from several chapters. including a large group who came by bus from the Philadelphia Chapter to see our show and to tour the arboretum.
In spite of recent rains and the late date of the show, we were fortunate in having 223 entries, predominantly Ironclads. As these rhododendrons are the hardiest for our area, it gave the general public a chance to see the many varieties available.
Many thanks go to our judges: Dr. John Wister, Mr. Joseph Casadeval, Mr. William Efinger, Jr., and Professor Radcliffe B. Pike. Our chapter is grateful to Planting Fields Arboretum for providing us with the ideal background for our shows, and especially to Director Gordon Jones and to William Bowden for all their efforts in many directions. We wish to thank each and every person who worked to make this show a success. Special appreciation goes to Mr. and Mrs. John Knippenberg and to our other members who enriched our exhibit by placing additional trusses on our conversation table.
