ST. LOUIS ASSOCIATION OF GARDENERS 



The lirst meeting following the Xational Convention was held 

 at Forest Park. October 6. 



The treasurer reported on the financial standing of the con- 

 \ ention entertainment, that the combined entertainment, includin.g 

 the Missouri Botanical (harden. Saint Louis Park Department and 

 Saint Louis Garden Club, was taken care of independent of the 

 local association entertainment fund. Of the latter he was glad 

 to announce a balance of seventy-five dollars. It was proposed 

 by G. H. Pring that this money should be set aside as a conven- 

 tion fund to be used to send a representative to the annual con- 

 vention. The member to represent the local society to be elected 

 by ballot and the fund increased by assessment or by entertain- 

 ment. The motion was unanimously adopted. Members re- 

 marked that it might be the means of other organizations adopting 

 the same means of being represented at the future conventions 

 instead of relying on one or two men to represent their organiza- 

 tion at the expense of the individual. . 



The lecture of the exening was presented by President L. P. 

 Jensen on The Relation of Birds to Gardening. An interesting 

 discussion followed of the acts of certain birds in the Sprin,g at 

 the time of seed sowing. The question argued was wdiether to 

 kill the birds that watched the gardener sow his seeds with the 

 ( bject of having a good meal during the gardener's absence. Mr. 

 Jensen, however, was equal to combat the argument in protecting 

 the l)irds.
