about the Garden itself by the director over station WNYC. 
In 1932 the Garden united with the Agricultural Extension Sery- 
ice of Rutgers University (Mr. Wallace S. Moreland, director), 
the Garden Club of New Jersey, and the Federated Garden Clubs 
of New York State, to form the Radio Garden Club, giving regu- 
lar broadcasts over station WOR, beginning, on our part, with 
nine broadcasts by Mr. Free in 1932. In 1936 these broadcasts 
began over the Mutual Broadcasting System’s coast-to-coast 
network, 37 talks being given by the Garden. During the first 
half of this year (1941) 19 broadcasts were given, 7 over WOR 
and 12 over WNYC, following a printed program distributed to 
our members and others. Digests of these talks were published
