ON FORMING A GARDEN CLUB 



work. There is something in this charming prac- 

 tice of working in and on flowers which gives us a 

 rare friendship with each other. It must be that 

 the very elements of wind, rain, sun, so freely sent 

 us, and without which we could do nothing, have 

 their leavening influence upon the spirit, and make 

 one generous and self -forgetting in gardening. 



Don'ts for the Benefit op Chairmen of 

 Exhibition Committees* 



by mrs. william h. gary 

 Don't fail to appoint the chairman of your 

 classification committee, and ask her to appoint 

 her committee at least six months before the show. 

 She and they will accept then when they may not 

 later. 



Don't fail to be at each meeting of the classifi- 

 cation committee and help them get out their 

 preliminary schedule six months ahead of show. 

 Your presence helps both chairmen. 



Don't fail to have your final schedules printed 

 and in your hand one month before the show; also 

 see that entry blanks are mailed to each member 

 in same envelope with schedule.
