GREEN SPRING VALLEY GARDEN CLUB, 
MARYLAND 
The work of our Club for the last year has been on the same 
lines as the preceding years : — Visiting gardens, enjoying some 
splendid lectures, working with the Maryland Chapter of the 
Wild Flower Preservation Society and helping to improve the 
community in planting. 
We had the honor of winning the prize for the most artisti- 
cally arranged basket of vegetables, fruits and flowers at the 
Baltimore Flower Market and with the Gardens Club of Twenty, 
the first prize for decorated booth. 
This Flower Market is held annually and draws a large 
crowd of Flower Lovers.

GARDEN CLUB OF HARFORD COUNTY, 
MARYLAND 
During the year ending September, 1921, The Garden Club 
of Harford County had nine meetings. 
One of these, which was held in co-operation with several 
other Maryland Garden Clubs, gave us an opportunity to hear 
Mrs. Nathaniel Britton, of the New York Botanical Gardens, on 
The Preservation of Wild Flowers. 
At another meeting, we listened to Mr. Swepson Earle's 
Lecture on Colonial Homes and Gardens in Southern Maryland, 
illustrated by very beautiful pictures with the lantern. 
At a third meeting, we heard Mr. Vincent talk to the Club 
on his specialty of growing Dahlias. 
Our members have continued the work of sending flowers 
from their gardens to the ill and the wounded soldiers at the 
Fort McHenry Hospital in Baltimore. 
With full attendance, and earnest discussion of our special 
problems, our Club has proved most helpful to the members, 
showing not its least usefulness, perhaps, in bringing together 
neighbors, many of whom live in the country all through the 
year, and in homes lying far apart.

Mrs. James Hemsley Johnson. President.
