GARDEN CLUB OF DENVER 
The Summer programs for the Denver Garden Club, dur- 
ing the months of June, July and the first part of August have 
been widely varied. Once a month we have had the history of 
Gardens, treated from an artistic, scientific and historical stand- 
point. Once a month we have had the study of the garden in the 
more purely botanical treatment; we have had as well, several 
botanising trips into the mountains, and one competitive problem 
in planting the new garden of one of our members. 
The calendar has been as follows : 
June 6th Primitive Garden Forms. 
June 20th A talk by Miss Schmall of the State Mu- 
seum of Natural History on the Eco- 
logical Botany of Colorado. 
June 26th A botanical trip to Estes Park for study 
of wild flowers. 
July 11th Roman Gardens. 
July 25th Study of the Competitive Project of the 
Garden Planting for Mrs. Kountze. 
August 1st Roman Gardens of the Renaissance. 
August 8th Botanical Expedition up Boulder Canon for 
study of trees and shrubs. 
In addition to our regular study we have had the usual 
amount of interchange of subjects dear to the heart of every 
gardener, pests, varieties and fertilizers, and have visited several 
of our loveliest gardens, those of Mrs. George Crammer, Mrs. 
Daniel Tears and Mrs. Hepburn Walker.

GARDEN CLUB OF EASTHAMPTON 
Spring activities began in March when the Club competed 
by two entries, one for the best Table Decoration, the other for 
a Bird Bath, at the Flower Show of The New York Horticultural 
Society, and was fortunate in winning second place in the former 
class. 
Meetings were held fortnightly during the summer and lec- 
tures were given by Mrs. Charles Stout, Mr. Loring Underwood 
and Miss Koleman. At other meetings members addressed the 
Club. Exhibits of flowers and vegetables were shown regularly 
at the meetings and ribbons awarded as prizes. 
The Fifth Annual Flower Show in June and the Dahlia 
Show in August were most successful.
