The objects of this association shall be: to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening among 
amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference and correspondence in this 
country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
Now wintry winds are banished from the sky, 
Gay laughs the blushing face of flowery spring: 
Now lays the land her duskier raiment by 
And dons her grass-green vest, for signal why 
Young plants may choose themselves apparelling. 
Now, drinking tender dews of generous morn, 
The meadows break into their summer smile, 
The rose unfolds her leaves; and glad, the while, 
In far-off hiUs the shepherd winds his horn, 
And his white brede the goatherd's heart beguile. 
Now tendrils curl and earth bursts forth anew — 
Now shepherds pipe and fleecy flocks are gay — 
Now sailors sail, and Bacchus gets his due — 
Now wild birds chirp and bees their toil pursue — 
Sing, poet, thou — and sing thy best for May. 
Meleager in The Greek Anthology.
