Gardens of a neighboring Club were visited, and co-operated 
with the Bernardsville Club in the June Rose Show, with the 
Short Hills Club in the September Dahlia Show, and with the 
Florists and Gardeners Association of Morristown in its annual

NEW CANAAN GARDEN CLUB 
The season of 1921 began with the Mid-winter meeting held 
in New York in January. At this meeting plans for the coming 
season as well as the Annual Show, were discussed and the new 
slides which had been prepared for the Garden Club of America, 
were shown. 
For 1921, the program committee provided the following 
lectures : 
May — "Pests (papers by members both from a serious as well as 
an amusing standpoint.) 
June — "Trees, Their Care and Diseases," Mr. J. J. Levison. 
July— "Dahlias," Mrs. Chas. H. Stout. 
August — "The Small Estate and How to Develop It," Miss Rose 
Greely. 
September — "Gardens in Prose and Poetry," Mrs. Waldo Rich- 
ards. 
October — "Preparing the Garden for Winter," (Papers by mem- 
bers.) 
One new departure was a combined flower show ; New Ca- 
naan uniting with Rye, Greenwich, Bedford and Ridgefield in 
a highly successful exhibit in June. 
Our own show in September aroused much interest owing 
to the fact that every class was open not only to members but to 
any resident of New Canaan and being held from 3 P. M. to 10 
P. M. the attendance was larger than ever before, many coming 
at night who otherwise could not have attended. 
One Field-day was held. The October meeting took the 
form of a picnic luncheon in the woods, the regular meeting being 
held indoors later.

President.
