ALBEMARLE GARDEN CLUB 
Failed to report. 
GARDEN CLUB OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY 
It is with great pleasure that I report a very active year for 
our Garden Club. We held ten meetings during the year and 
continued our more serious work, such as that among the farm 
women of the county, the restoration of the Historic Garden at 
Economy, and our gift to the City of Pittsburgh of a plan, sub- 
mitted by Mr. James L. Greenleaf , for planting the new entrance 
to Schenley Park. 
We gave 270 prizes, totaling $1200, for flowers and vege- 
ables, in rural schools and at community fairs ; twenty member- 
ships in the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association, 
and paid for the upkeep of an automobile for a County Farm 
Bureau representative. 
A very successful Dahlia Show was held in Sewickley. 
Our club feels especially honored at the appointment of 
Mrs. McKnight as Editor of the Bulletin. 
,This report may indicate that we are taking too much inter- 
est in matters outside the province of gardening as a fine art, 
but we find we can combine interest in our gardens with our 
more serious work and it has proved, to our complete satisfac- 
tion, that the program of each Club should be decided by its mem- 
bers according to social, financial and geographical conditions. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Edith Oliver Rea, 
(Mrs. Henry R. Rea) President. 
AMATEUR GARDENERS' CLUB, BALTIMORE, MD. 
We think that our club has had a successful and stimulating 
year. Our first important action was to establish a Wild Flower 
Committee with Mrs. Edward Bouton chairman. Through her 
energy and enthusiasm a Baltimore Chapter was formed of the 
National Association for the Preservation of Wild Flowers, an 
active propaganda started by means of lectures and publicity 
and plans made for protection and propagation of wild flowers 
which are becoming extinct. Monthly meetings of the club were 
held and well attended, at which papers were read by members 
upon gardens and allied subjects ; and lectures were given in con- 
junction with other clubs near Baltimore. 
Historic places and gardens were discussed and visited. In 
connection with other garden clubs, under the auspices of the 
Civic League we took part in a Flower Market giving the Alice 
Garrett Medal for the most artistic booth and the Wild Flower
