The ticket was accepted as read with the following additions: 
A member of the Garden Club of Princeton nominated Mrs. J. 
Willis Martin as Honorary President. This nomination was accepted 
with applause. 
A member of the Summit Garden Club offered the following 
nomination: 
The member stated that while recognizing the qualities of Dr. 
Edward L. Partridge, of the Orange & Dutchess Counties Garden Club, 
as candidate for President, her Club begged to call the attention of 
the meeting to the fact that the Garden Club or America was 
largely a Woman's organization. She therefore begged to add to the 
ticket the name of Mrs. S. V. R. Crosby, President of the North Shore 
Garden Club, Massachusetts, as candidate for President of the Gar- 
den Club of America. 
Inasmuch as there were two nominations for the office of President, 
Mrs. Benjamin Warren, Chairman of the Nominating Committee, 
moved that the ticket be split, and that the Secretary be empowered 
to cast the ballot for the election of all officers with exception of the 
President. 
This motion was seconded and duly carried. 
Upon motion duly made, seconded, and carried, it was voted that 
the election for President should be by ballot.
