The
Evergreen Chrysanthemum Association (ECA), established in 1947, patterns
its classification of blooms and show judging after the National Chrysanthemum
Society of England. Most mums grown by our group are of English origin,
though an increasing number of our cultivars originate from many parts
of the world including the United States, France, Australia, Japan,
and China.
Since inception in the 1930's, Chrysanthemum Shows have delighted
the Puget Sound population in a number of locations including The
Olympic Hotel, Seattle East Side locations, historic Meeting and exhibition
halls, The Seattle Center, Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, and the Old
Doces Furniture Building in Tukwila. In recent years Sky Nursery and
Furney's Nursery have hosted the Annual fall ECA shows.
The future of the ECA lies in the interest and Curiosity of its members
in growing chrysanthemums as well as in the camaraderie of the Club.
The challenge for present and future leaders is to keep these goals
alive and flourishing. Please visit us at our exhibit at the 2008
Aki Matsuri.
