THE RUMSON GARDEN CLUB, 
RUMSON, NEW JERSEY 
The last meeting of the season of the Rumson Garden Club 
was held on October 13th. We have had a very successful year. 
Two very good shows were held, one in June and one in Sep- 
tember. The June show was very remarkable for its Delphin- 
ium, which were unusually beautiful, very tall and well grown, 
also the roses which were very lovely. In the September show, 
the Dahlia was wonderfully represented with some new and very 
special varieties. 
Our Children's Garden for the Public School children com- 
menced in May with 72 children, ending with an exhibit of 45 
children showing vegetables for which the best received prizes. 
We feel this work can be continued with success, but not neces- 
sary to have a paid teacher as heretofore. We have had several 
Field Days, which were most charming, the hostesses opening 
their houses and gardens to the club members. In September, 
we had a very interesting lecture on Iris and Lilies given by 
Mr. Arthur Herrington. We now have 37 colored lantern slides 
in our collection, many of them very lovely views of the mem- 
bers' gardens.

HARDY GARDEN CLUB OF RUXTON, MARYLAND 
The Hardy Garden Club of Ruxton, has just ended a very 
active year. Fourteen meetings were held at which there were 
either special speakers or exhibitions, often both. There were 
twelve exhibitions altogether, three being in conjunction with 
other garden clubs, all culminating in the Flower Show to which 
certain other clubs were asked to join and ten competed for the 
Bronze Medal of the Garden Club of America. This was won 
by one of our own members, Mrs. Ernest Dinning. Incidently, 
it is the first time in Maryland that this award has been offered. 
We conducted a successful booth at the Annual Flower Mart 
of the Civic League in Baltimore, in the spring and won prizes at
