The Garden Club of Harford County, Maryland 
The Club this summer, had no lectures, as all the money m the 
treasury was used for war purposes. The whole trend of the meetings 
was toward food conservation, and other necessary war precautions. 
Our plans for the coming winter will be regulated entirely by the war. 
We are now attending lectures in Baltimore, on vegetable planting, 
with the view to conservation. 
Grace A. T. Allen, Secretary. 
Green Spring Valley Garden Club 
The Green Spring Valley Garden Club in the Spring helped 
about ICO of the public school children in the neighborhood to start 
vegetable gardens, supplying them with seeds and plants. Five prizes 
were awarded in the Fall to the ones achieving the best results. 
Twelve hundred glasses of Marmalade and jam put up by members 
of the Club have been sent to Camp Meade for use in the Hospital. 
Through the Summer the excess vegetables and fruits from mem- 
bers' gardens were put up by a cannery run by McDonough School 
and given to the Red Cross. 
The Club this Winter is to attend a series of ten lectures given by 
The Extension Service of the Maryland State College of Agriculture. 
Next season the Club will assist in a Community Garden, and will 
carry on its former work.

The Garden Club of Lawrence, Long Island 
The Club has taken much pleasure in sending a young woman 
through the Ambler School of Horticulture. She is now in her 
second year and is doing splendid work. 
In the Community Canning Kitchen and war activities organized 
by other societies, our members have taken a very active part.

The Litchfield Garden Club 
The first meeting of the Club was devoted to the Wild Flower 
Committee, whose Chairman reported good progress. To her efforts 
in great measure, is due the passing of a bill curtailing the privilege of 
cutting Laurel in the State of Connecticut, and shipping the same 
to the cities for florists' use. 
Early in the season the Club formed a Comonittee, to promote 
food conservation and preservation, which work later was taken over 
by the Farm Bureau, who employed two salaried assistants, and 
covered all the towns in the County.
