The Garden Club of Philadelphia has organized a Unit of 
Twenty-two women for The Women's Land Army, which will be 
housed at Newton Square, Pa., and operate chiefly on farms where 
the owners would be unable to plant the usual crops without the 
help of our normally priced labor. 
The Unit will begin work on April 3rd, and there are possibilities 
of its doubling in size before the fall. 
A group of members Hving at Chestnut Hill are giving their time 
to another large Unit, which is financed by The National League for 
Women's Ser\'ice. 
Still other members, at Jenkintown, will help to organize and run 
a canning kitchen. 
One member is working at reconstruction in France under Miss 
Anne Morgan, and the Club sent her $100, for seeds and garden tools. 
The Philipstown Garden Club, is planning to work a garden 
of winter vegetables for use of the U. S. Army Hospital No. i at 
Williamsbridge. The land for this garden has been loaned by a mem- 
ber. Also, we are planning to send one or more large hampers of 
fresh vegetables once a week to this hospital. Our school gardens 
will continue, and in greater numbers. 
Although not directly war work, the Club has the honor of plant- 
ing and keeping in order for the Martlaers Rock Association, the 
garden on Constitution Island, opposite West Point, which is Govern- 
ment property. This is enjoyed by the cadets and friends of the 
Mihtary Academy and members of the Martlaers Rock Association. 
The Garden Club of Princeton is contributing toward the 
salary of Miss Washburn, who is directing and teaching the school 
children war gardening. 
Three members of the Club are representing the Club in the 
state and coimty work of the New Jersey Branch of the Women's 
Land Army of America. We are calling a special meeting of the 
Club in the near future to consider whether the Club as a whole will 
be able to assist in financing a Unit in Mercer County of the Women's 
Land Army of New Jersey, for which the use of a house near Princeton 
has been offered. 
The Ridgefield Garden Club will undertake four kinds of 
work the coming summer.
