head gardener, are responsible for the wonderful results. The plants, 
mostly in 7-inch pots, were in the pink of perfection and finely 
flowered. The cuttings were made about a year ago, both leaf and 
stem cuttings being used, and the plants regularly fed with weak 
manure water. In other years Clay's Fertilizer has mainly been de- 
pended upon, but this year, this fertilizer not being available, manure 
water had to take its place and has proved entirely satisfactory.

National and sectional dayhght saving legislation is to be pushed Daylight 
in Congress following the conclusion of the holiday recess which will Saving 
terminate January 5th. Congressman Darrow, of Pennsylvania, has 
reintroduced the national act, which was recently repealed, and Con- 
gressman Dallinger of Massachusetts, acting for the New England 
States, has introduced a bUl similar to the one sponsored by former 
Congressman John F. Fitzgerald of Boston. 
The legislation referred to as affecting the New England States is 
contemplated in the DalHnger bill which provides that within the 
first zone as established by the National Daylight Saving law, the 
time shall be advanced one hour at 2 o'clock in the morning of the last 
Sunday in April of each year and retarded one hour at 2 o'clock in the 
morning of the last Sunday in September of each year, thereby return- 
ing to the mean astronomical time of the degree of longitude governing 
this zone. 
The Darrow bill is similar in language except that the change in 
time would be applicable to all sections of the country between the 
last Sunday in April and the last Sunday in September of each year.

The foregoing appeared recently in the Florists^ Exchange and 
since many Garden Club members have asked if anything could 
be accomplished by the Club in this direction it is reprinted to revive 
a fading hope. 
Any suggestion of a method by which the Garden Club of 
America may assist in bringing about the desired result will be very 
welcome. The National Daylight Saving Association, 200 Fifth Ave. , 
New York, will be glad to hear from interested clubs.
