164 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [7:6— Sept., 1911 



The morning of July 12th was spent in visiting the gardens 

 on the campus of the University of California and the Le Conte 

 School gardens, following a visit on the previous day to the gar- 

 dens of the Sutro and Parental Schools of San Francisco. The 

 campus gardens were somewhat depleted having been drawn upon 

 for vegetables and flowers to supply the tables for the luncheon 

 given in Hearst Hall. 



The California Junior Gardeners grew the vegetables and 

 flowers and at the luncheon prepared and served the same. Some 

 200 guests sat down to prettily decorated tables. The menu cards 

 were radishes, turnips, and carrots done in water colors and cut 

 from heavy paper. Within each card the children had printed 

 the menu, — 



Sliced Tomatoes 



Radishes 



Roast Lamb — Jelly 



New Potatoes — Creamed Peas 



Junior Gardener Medley 



Ice Cream — Wafers 

 Iced Tea Coffee 



The menu cards were the product of the Whittier School 

 children of Berkeley. Individual cornucopias made by the 

 children and filled with sweet peas were given to the visitors. 



An orchestra composed of children from the Franklin and 

 the San Leandro schools, under the leadership of Miss Bolsted 

 assisted by Mr. C. Way, entertained from a wilderness of palms. 



Mr. Stebbins, chairman of the local committee in the absence 

 of President Van Evire Kilpatrick, introduced Professor Babcock 

 of the University of California as toastmaster. Professor Cald- 

 well, University of Chicago; B. J. Horchem of the "Park. Life" ; 

 Mrs. Carlysle of the Berkeley Board of Education ; Professor 

 Wickson, Dean of the College of Agriculture, University of Cali- 

 fornia ; Mr. True of the United States Experiment Stations; 

 Louisa Klein Miller of Cleveland ; and E. C. Bishop, Ames, Iowa ; 

 responded to toasts. All spoke enthusiastically of the work with 

 which each is identified. 



At the close of the luncheon Miss Alpha Rasor, as chairman 

 of the luncheon committee, received many congratulations for its 

 success.
