another year and teach others to do so. We plan next year to have a 
number of planting plans ready, with first and second crops, so that 
late crops can be put in to follow all early vegetables. With a 
number of such practical plans ready we feel able to meet all scout 
tastes, and double or triple our success in the coming season.

Report of the Garden Club or Trenton, New Jersey 
The Garden Club of Trenton has most pleasantly rounded out 
another year of its existence with the regular monthly meetings and 
five special meetings. 
It has been the policy of the Club to do no civic work as a Club, 
but one of our members has carried on the work of the Trenton 
Emergency Food Garden Commission with great success. From small 
beginnings, and, in spite of the discouragements of last year, the 
work has increased so that this year's report shows 433 lots averaging 
20 X 100 feet under cultivation, 495 families cultivating these lots; 
75 families who were aided in making home gardens; a total of 570 
families who have been benefited by the Commission. Incidentally, 
$1,300.00 worth of property has been purchased by these gardeners. 
At a recent meeting of the Club it was voted that this year, instead 
of having special meetings and lectures, we should devote the moneys 
which would have been so expended to charitable or patriotic purposes, 
and one of the Club riiembers has already given the trees and shrub- 
bery planting around the Y. W. C. A. Hostess House at Camp Dix in 
heu of an entertainment for the Club as she had previously planned.

servation was greatly stimulated by a demonstration and lecture 
on canning and preserving at our May meeting. We have also 
encouraged one thousand school children to devote their energies 
to raising vegetables. The Club employed an expert, who has given 
instruction to the children, and made the inspections, the Club giving 
prizes in money for the best cared for and most productive gardens. 
Besides garden work our Club has been interested in war activities, 
making trench candles and sending between four and five hundred 
glasses of jelly to our men in Camp. 
As another war measure the Ulster Garden Club voted a member- 
ship fee to the National Association of Audubon Societies, that it 
might assist in the work of that organization in preserving the insect- 
eating birds which are being killed for food, when the increased
