As last year, the emphasis of the most of our work and teach- 
ing was on war gardens and other activities related more or less 
to food supply and food conservation. The work particularly 
of Miss Shaw and Miss Cross and their group of teachers in 
training was directed primarily toward increasing the local food 
supply, both in the plots at the Gardens, as w ell as in many 
home gardens throughout the city. Mr. Free, our head gar- 
dener, also contributed much toward this end by his expert ad- 
vice on soil conditions, questions concerning fertilizers, crop- 
ing, harvesting, etc. The report of Miss Shaw on eee 
details of this work is incorporated as a part of this report. 
Mr. Free‘s course of six lectures on “ Vegetable Gardening,” 
given on Sunday afternoons and Wednesday evenings during 
March, proved a quite popular attraction, the attendance at one 
of these meetings numbering 263.
