THE LENOX GARDEN CLUB, 1921 
The Lenox Garden Club had its usual eight meetings dur- 
ing the summer at four of which lectures were given and at two, 
papers by members were read. The Club regret very much the 
retirement of the President Miss Meyer, who held office for two 
years, but are rejoiced at welcoming back as Vice President, Dr. 
Wm. Oilman Thompson. In June the Club, by the kind invita- 
tion of the Millbrook Garden Club and Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne 
had a very charming day, lunching in the shade of Mrs. Thome's 
beautiful old trees and attending the lecture by Mr. Loring Un- 
derwood. In the hope of interesting the Lenox school children 
models and plans were made for small vegetable gardens, they 
proved rather difficult but a prize day was held and prizes, rib- 
bons, and ice cream were distributed. The models for next year 
have been simplified and the enrollment is to be more systema- 
tic through the help of one of the teachers. Members are to 
supervise a certain number of children and endeavor to over- 
come the opposition of some of the parents who consider the 
children's time wasted when not working for them and who are 
the most necessary to get hold of.

THE LITCHFIELD GARDEN CLUB 
The Litchfield Garden Club has had a very successful sum- 
mer, and much interest has been shown at the meetings which 
have been held on alternate Thursdays from June to September. 
On June fifteenth we very much enjoyed the hospitality of the 
Millbrook Garden Club, with luncheon at beautiful Thorndale, 
and an illustrated lecture by Loring Underwood. 
On June twenty-third we had the pleasure of having as our 
guests the Hartford Garden Club, and were able to show them 
some of the Famous old Colonial Houses and Gardens of Litch- 
field. 
We have had several very interesting lectures, one from Miss 
Jay on French Gardens, one from Mr. Coe on Gardens of Ja- 
pan, and one from Miss Alderson on Herbaceous Borders. 
We also had the privilege of seeing the Herbarium of Mrs. 
Carey, and also a wonderful collection of pictures of wild flowers 
by Miss Luqueer. 
We had a very successful Flower Show in August with 
nearly fifty exhibits of baskets and arrangements of flowers, 
which was well attended and much enjoyed.
