The Secretary announced that directly after the Annual Meeting in 
July a formal invitation was received from the Garden Club of Cleve- 
land for the Annual Meeting of 1 92 1 . The Secretary acknowledged the 
invitation and stated that an invitation was already under considera- 
tion from the Albemarle Garden Club for the Annual Meeting of 
192 1. Whereupon the Garden Club of Cleveland renewed its invitation 
for 1922. In September, when the difficulties of the visit to Virginia 
seemed very great, the Secretary again wrote to the Garden Club of 
Cleveland asking whether it would be possible to renew its invitation 
for 192 1, but was answered that many of its members had planned to 
go abroad next summer and that the Club repeated its invitation to 
the Garden Club of America for 1922. 
In speaking of "Quarantine 37" the President announced that a Quarantine 
committee had been appointed, with Mr. AKred Burrage as Secretary 37 
and Mr. Theodore Havemeyer as Treasurer, to consider this question, 
under the name of the Anti-Embargo Act Committee. The G.\rden 
Club of America, the President announced, had been asked to appoint 
a member to serve on this Committee. It is probable that the Horti- 
cultural Societies of New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania will 
each raise $2,000 toward financing the work of this Committee; and 
the President of the Garden Club of America announced that 
personal subscriptions toward this work were now in order.

in Newport, from Mr. David Fairchild, of Washington, it had been Garden

project of estabhshing a National Botanical Garden in Washington. 
Mrs. James made the suggestion that this be considered by the 
Garden Club of America. It was 
Voted: To recommend that this matter he referred to the Policy 
Committee. 
Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, editor of the Bulletin, reported that Publication 
owing to the bulk of the July issue of the Bulletin, due to the in- of the 
elusion of the reports of the Annual Meeting at Manchester, it was Annual Re- 
decided inadvisable to publish the annual reports of the Member ports in the 
Clubs for 1919-1920 in that number, and it was suggested to pubhsh Bulletin 
the reports annually hereafter in the December issue. This suggestion

return reports to the respective Presidents with the statement that 
each would be allowed an extra one hundred words in which to cover
