Some Tall Sunflowers in County Contest Details
Tall sunflowers in the Daily News contest are shown by winners Mrs D W Crouch at 1372 Creacented SW and Mrs William Robb at 630 Clarendon Ave SW with her daughter, plus Elmer Wilson at 906 Clarendon AR SW with a 12 foot 4 inch plant peeking in a second story window, and two 11 foot sunflowers by Mrs Marion Bowen on South Canton Massillon Rd. Height markers show the plants were five feet two inches taller half a period earlier. Cantonians upset about mowing can take consolation that Werstler’s isn’t the tallest. Contests are over. Fun, wasn’t it.
