SCHOOL GABDENS. 



Benjamin Hammond, as chairman of 

 the school garden committee of the 

 Society of American Florists, has sent 

 »out a greeting to the school trustees of 

 J^merica, showing the benefits of school 

 gardens and urging the school trustees 

 to support the movement for them. He 

 states that the florists in each town will 

 assist the school trustees in this work, 

 "which they should be glad to do. The 

 greeting, on a large sheet of enameled 

 paper, carries several pictures of flower 

 gardens, to reinforce Mr. Hammond's 

 urgings. 



This month Mr. Hammond begins en- 

 rolling the boys and girls of his home 

 t6wn, Beacon, N. Y., in the Beacon Home 

 Garden Brigade for this season. The 

 founder of this organization, Mr. Ham- 

 mond, offers each year several prizes to 

 the boys and girls who produce the best 

 examples of home gardening in various 

 respects, and awards certificates of 

 merit to those who work in the brigade. 

 The Home Garden Brigade was started 

 in 1909 in Beacon and has done much to 

 beautify that town, a matter of much 

 pride to Mr. Hammond.
