THE CHESTNUT HILL GARDEN SOCIETY 
During the year the Society held seven indoor meetings and 
visited several gardens. 
The annual May Flower Show was notable for the number, 
quality and beauty of the exhibits. It was open to members 
on the first day and the annual meeting of the Society was held 
in the evening in the main exhibition room. Thie following day 
the show was largely attended by friends of the members. 
The Horticultural Medal of the Garden Club of America 
was awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Edwin S. Webster for the best 
arranged collection of rare spring flowering plants. 
There was a lively competition in table decorations and many 
such decorations were original in conception and color scheme 
and well merited the high praise given them. 
At the invitation of Prof. Charles S. Sargent, a special meet- 
ing was held in May at the Arnold Arboretum. The members 
attended generally and were conducted through the Arboretum by 
Mr. John G. Jack, receiving much valuable information. 
The Club has replanted the grounds of the Railroad Sta- 
tion in Chestnut Hill under the direction of Mr. Guy Lee, its 
Garden Consultant, advised by Prof. Sargent. Many years ago 
these grounds were laid out by Mr. Frederick Law Olmsted, Sen- 
ior, and Planted by Prof. Sargent. It was a privilege to carry 
on the work begun by such eminent men.

CINCINNATI GARDEN CLUB 
The Cincinnati Garden Club obtained permission to move 
the flowers from a beautiful wood where a factory was to be 
built, and The Wild Flower Society moved successfully, thirty- 
five varieties to the new East High School Wild Flower Preserve ; 
many native trees and shrubs were also planted. In May the 
Society had a creditable Wild Flower Exhibition, visited by ten 
thousand people. A direct result is a weekly course of lectures 
on wild flowers. 
In June, Mrs. W. C. Procter entertained members of all the 
neighboring Garden Clubs. It was decided to have a meeting 
every spring. 
In June also, at a fete for a local charity, the Club had a 
charming miniature garden where plants were sold ; the sum 
netted was over twelve hundred dollars. 
In July, Mrs. W. S. Rowe read an interesting monograph on 
some Historic Gardens in Ohio and Kentucky. 
On November sixth, the Club had an Amateur Dahlia Show
