Siberian One of our members brought over from England last fall seeds of 
Poppy-wort the blue Siberian Poppy -wort, Meconopsis Wallachi, which has taken 
the English Amateurs by storm. It is a hardy biennial from Siberia, 
and grows in a cool, well drained and semi-shaded spot. 
It is illustrated on page 41 in Miss Jekyll's Annuals and Biennals. 
The seeds are being started for us in some of the botanical gardens 
and in private greenhouses and if it does well this summer in American 
gardens it will be reported in these pages. 
Note the subtle compliment to our Mrs. Farrand in an article by 
the great William Robinson in the English Garden of January loth. 
Illinois Plant Governor Lowden of Illinois has issued a proclamation dated 
Quarantine January 2, 1920, declaring it will be unlawful on and after January 
20, 1920, to import into or within the State of Illinois, Corn, Broom 
Corn, Celery, Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Gladioli and Geraniums 
grown in the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu- 
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York, on account of in- 
festation by the European Corn Borer. 
In Memoriam 
Mrs. Frederick Greeley 
Club Members who attended the last Annual Meeting of the 
Garden Club of America will appreciate the sorrow of the Garden 
Club of IlUnois in the death of its then president, Mrs. Frederick 
Greeley. Her deUcacy, charm and grace, reflected in her garden, must 
be to them a pleasant memory. To the members of her own Club she 
is more than a memory. Her mind, her person, her spirit are an ever- 
living influence. Her garden friends mourn her loss but rejoice that 
they have been privileged to call her friend.

Letters to the Bulletin 
Feb. loth, 1920 
My Dear Mrs. Brewster : 
My Bulletin of the Garden Club of America for January has 
just arrived, and as I always read it through at once, no matter what 
hour of the day, or what duty presses, may I not also write at once a 
note that may be of some use, in connection with Miss Jekyll's 
article — "A Garden of Spring Flowers." 
First let me say how charming it is to have the Bulletin once 
more, and with what deUghtful contentment one reads the foreword 
in this month's number enjoying in anticipation the happiness our 
gardens are going to give us this year after these many sad ones — 1918
