News and Views 
This department is dedicated to the Member Clubs and to our in- 
dividual members. It is designed to hold short accounts of unusual 
meetings, stirring events, interesting anecdotes, successful shows and 
pleasant garden experiences. Contributions should be signed and the 
name of the Club from which they come should also be given. Personal 
news is welcome and if we might have an occasional controversy, 
so much the better. The name of the Column Conductor will be 
announced in the next issue of the Bulletin. This last statement has 
been made hopefully in three issues. A Garden Club news gatherer 
is not easy to find but we do not despair. In the meantime please 
send any piece of news in regard to your Club or individual members 
of your Club to the editor. 
Do you remember how many members asked for a Question and 
Answer department? We have arranged for not only one such depart- 
ment but several, and each member of the Board of Editors awaits 
a flood of questions on her own particular subject. Where are they? 
Send them to the Bulletin and they will be distributed.
