Solution of the Garden Problem Offered in 
the November Bulletin 
The editor takes great pride in announcing that Miss Nichols has 
chosen as the winning plan that submitted by Mrs. Robert C. Hill, 
East Hampton Garden Club. This pride is occasioned by the fact 
that the editor knew enough to choose Mrs. Hill as an associate 
editor. She is not surprised at the result of the competition but she is 
gratified to prove so promptly to the Garden Club of America that 
while she attempts to find congenial minds she indubitably knows 
how to pick winners. 
Unfortunately this Bulletin is so crowded that we cannot give 
the planting plan and description but since it is too late for spring 
planting and to early for fall the postponement is not serious. 
The Farm Journal has also made its awards for the Second Prize 
Contest. The first prize, $20.00, was awarded to Mrs. Francis King, 
the second prize, $10.00, (this is recorded with profound embarrass-

Mrs. Roy Sturtevant of the Garden Club of IlHnois. The winning 
plans will be printed in the Farm Journal for September, October 
and November and will also be reproduced in an issue of the Bulletin.

An adequate review of the absorbing story of the Birth of Plants 
could only be a literal transcript of the book itseK, as it is almost 
impossible to select for comment or criticism from such a wealth of 
material. 
For Mr. Lovell's book impresses us as being itself a selection from 
an inexhaustible store-house of intimate knowledge, written as if 
in breathless haste to share with us the amazing universal interest into 
which we are being initiated — the interest in, and knowledge of, the 
link between animate and inanimate Nature. 
Too often, these have been kept carefully apart. We have studied, 
some of us superficially, botany and entomology, and having disposed
