always at the request of the librarian. The Arnold Arboretum some 
time ago asked for a complete file and one was sent with ill-concealed 
pride. When, however, a similar request reached the editor from 
the Professor himself who had not been informed of the Hbrary's 
acquisition, pride stepped boldly forth and proclaimed itself. 
The following plan has been made for issuing the six numbers 
of the Bulletin: July or August, depending upon the date of the An- 
nual Meeting. This issue will contain a report of the Meeting, Com- 
mittee reports, accounts of Gardens visited, suggestions made, etc. 
About September 15th a Fall-Planting issue. About December ist an 
issue which will contain reports of the summer work of each Member- 
Club. Most of the Clubs have their Annual Meetings in October 
or November so at this time it should be possible to give lists of 
new officers and annual reports. The remaining three issues 
would be published January 15th, March 15th and May ist. For 
these spring numbers there is always interesting material. Do 
you approve of this schedule and if not what modification do you 
suggest? 
It may be well to remind you that the editor enjoys the Bulletin 
much as a mother does a troublesome pair of twins. The simile need 
not be elaborated. Impatience, affection, exhaustion and devotion 
are aU implied, but if you hke the Bulletin, satisfaction can be added 
to the list. 
Respectfully submitted.

Editor 
The President asked for suggestions in regard to the continuation 
of the Bulletin under its present policy. With no discussion, it was 
moved, seconded, and carried that the policy of the Bulletin remain 
unchanged. The question of distribution was then discussed, in 
regard to mailing the Bulletin individually, or in bulk package to 
each Club for individual distribution to its members. It was asked that 
this question be brought before the meeting of the Council of Presi- 
dents. 
The President asked for a report from the Committee on Historic Committee 
Gardens. The Secretary explained that Mrs. Harry Groome, of the ^^ Historic 
Warrenton Garden Club, had been Chairman of this Committee, but Gardens 
had resigned last Autumn, and that no one had been appointed to 
succeed her. That during the year, several contributions to the 
work of this Committee had come to the Secretary's office. It was 
moved, seconded, and carried that this Committee be reorganized 
and its work carried on.
