WOMEN GARDENERS 

 Sometimes I feel as if I would like 

 to have a woman take care of my 

 flower garden at Hillcrest. For as a 

 rule women are better nurses. Men are 

 good for spring and autumn work. 

 They can plan and plant, do good land- 

 scape work, go in for effects. But 

 when it comes to the care that plants 

 need in summer, the watching, nursing 

 and babying I believe that women 

 will prove better. 



There are some men who have this 

 woman element to a large degree — 

 not the feminine, there is a difference 

 — of them, poets, artists and good gar- 

 deners are made. The marking of 

 crosses on a piece of paper Is not go- 

 ing to make any difference in the spirit 

 of womanhood in either man or woman 

 and there is still truth in the old say- 

 ing that the hand that rocks the 

 cradle is the hand that rules the world.

FINANCE AND AUDIT QOMMITTEE 



It was decided at the meeting of 

 this Committee held in Indianapolis 

 on October 10th, to make an appropri- 

 ation of $300 to the Nomenclature 

 Committee. It will be remembered 

 that by action of the Convention held 

 in Cleveland last August, the question 

 of this appropriation was referred to 

 them for final action. 



NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN 



A question has been sent in asking 

 whether it is the intention of the Pub- 

 licity Committee to abandon the Na- 

 tional Advertising Campaign. To this, 

 we would reply most emphatically — 

 no! Just consider for a moment the 

 names of those on this National Pub- 

 licity Committee: — Henry Penn, Chair- 

 man, George Asmus, Wallace R. Pier- 

 son, Pred Ammann and C. C. Poll- 

 worth. These are broad-minded suc- 

 cessful business men with a vision 

 who realize the possibilities and tlie 

 advantages of the National Publicity 

 Campaign and under no circumstances 

 would they permit any let-up in the 

 activities of this important undertak- 

 ing. 



The following subscriptions have 

 been received and are in addition to 

 those previously announced, annually
