If you read Article X you found 

 certain privileges that come to you 

 as a gardener. We have but 2000 

 pins and "first come first served ' 

 in other words those who "join the 

 first get the pins. Mr. C. C. 

 Morse of the Morse Seed Company, 

 San Francisco, has promised to 

 Ista s^eds free for our big class 

 of 3000 pupils. However, if you wish 

 to start a garden at home you will 

 have to buy your seeds. Seeds are 

 given only for school gardens. 



THE VEGETABLE LUNCHEON 



You may have heard of our veg- 

 etable luncheon at Hearst Hall. The 

 vegetables were grown by our Berk- 

 eley gardeners although many pota- 

 toes and flowers came from Gardena. 



Three long tables were prettily dec- 

 orated. At each plate were a menu 

 card and a cornucopia made by the 

 gardeners. In the cornucopias were 

 beautiful sweetpeas. The menu cards 

 were turnips, radishes, and carrots 

 done in water colors by the Whittier 

 School children. The room was dec- 

 orated with potted ferns, palms and 

 flowers. 



The children helped in the kitchen 

 apd waited on the table. Twenty 

 children from the Franklin School 



of Berkeley and four from San 1 

 dro furnished splendid orchestral 

 music. 



Some 200 teachers were the gi 

 of the gardeners and they all »-n- 

 joyed the afternoon very much. 



This year we want to repeat the 

 luncheon before the close of school. 

 The best children's orch. itra will be 

 asked to furnish music. The most 

 original menu card design will be 

 used. The luncheon this time will 

 be for the gardeners themselves not 

 for the teachers unless invited as 

 special gutsts. So if you want to 

 be with us grow an excellent gar- 

 den. 



One of the best features of the 

 luncheon was the way some of the 

 chiluien h< Iped. Many gav<« tln'ir 

 services in pr< paraiion but a few 

 only staid to help "clean up." It is 

 an easy matter to start but not so 

 easy to finish. We like those boys 

 and girls who "stay on the Job" un- 

 til it is done.

Mr. If. B. Hill formerly of Uplands, 

 California, and now principal of the 

 Ontario High School writes, 



Record of the Upland Schools in 

 Gardening, school year 1910, 1911. 

 No. pupils who had 



home gardens 149

 dening as a result of school

The statistics quoted above were 

 reported by the children themselves; 

 raised much more. 



Besides all this, we established 

 school flower gardens, e. g. we plant- 

 ed 4 doz. rose bushes and dozens of 

 other shrubs and trees. We grew 

 2000 pansies, etc. At one time we 

 had more than a dozen different 

 kinds of flowers blooming in the 

 school yards. 



During two years of agriculture 

 work we have planted on our school 

 grounds more than 100 trees, and 

 we have transformed the school 

 yard from a barren spot to a place 

 of beauty.
