22 LANDSCAPE GARDEN SERIES 



After the rules of our contest had been determined upon, we called 

 a meeting of representatives of all our local newspapers. We laid our 

 plans before them. We laid especial emphasis on the fact that 

 the movement was a public-spirited one. We asked them for their 

 support. They gave it gladly. It is remarkable what support an un- 

 selfish movement will get from the newspapers of today. Our news- 

 papers gave us hundreds of dollars' worth of space absolutely free, 

 and, best of all, gave it with a spirit that made their support doubly 

 helpful. 



ENTRIES. 



We accepted entries in the contest for one month, March 15 to 

 April 15. During this time our newspapers ran an entry coupon in 

 each issue. All that was necessary in order to enter was to clip out a 

 coupon, fill in the name and address and mail it in. 



The following is a copy of the coupon:
