committee was very much opposed to the small number of exhibi- 

 tions for we all felt that there was need of even more than we had 

 last year. Your Chairman, speaking to Miss Marian R. Case, 

 one of the exhibitors who stood so loyally by our Society during the 

 year 1918 when no money prizes were given, told of our disappoint- 

 ment at having to omit some of the exhibitions and Miss Case 

 immediately said she would contribute $1,000. The money was 

 accepted by the Board of Directors who instructed that four more 

 exhibitions be added to the schedule. This has been done and the 

 schedule has been accepted by the Board of Directors and is nearly 

 ready for distribution. 



The exhibitions the past year have shown marked improvement 

 both in the number of exhibitors and in attendance. There was 

 great interest shown by amateur growers. The war gardens 

 especially aroused enthusiasm and taught many hou to raise fresh 

 vegetables and flowers.
