spring flowers of the outdoor gardens and the similar wild flowers of the 
district. 
Prizes were awarded not only for original plants but for arrange- 
ment of the individual exhibits, for table decorations, etc. 
The exhibit was by far the largest the Club had ever given both in 
quantity and variety of the plants, also in their excellence and beauty. 
It not only showed to the members and their friends the progress that 
the Society had made during the live years of its existence but was a 
great stimulant to further work and to the greater progress we may 
hope for in the coming years.

The Garden Club of Cincinnati, organized in 1914, has thirty Garden Club 
members, all women, but includes men in its list of associate and of 
honorary members. Cincinnati, 
The Committee on Roadside Planting, which from its inception Omo 
has been one of its most important aims, is pleased to report that the 
30,000 Roses and the large planting of Daffodils and Iris along the 
Wooster Pike is one of the joys of our springtime pilgrimage to the 
country. The fruit trees sent to devastated France have been grate 
fully acknowledged and we still maintain our War Orphan. The 
Entertainment Committee reports lectures by Loiing Underwood, 
Miss Frances B. Johnston, John C. Wister, and Mrs. Samuel Taft; an 
Iris talk wth colored slides, with Mrs. Larz W. Anderson operating 
her own lantern. 
An important piece of work undertaken by the Club was the Grove 
of Memorial Trees planted in memory of our war heroes in Ault Park 
this spring. A creditable Iris show was staged under the auspices of 
the American Iris Society, and almost all of our members are now 
specializing in Iris. 
A Committee was formed to encourage the formation of other 
Garden Clubs in the vicinity of Cincinnati and to arrange yearly 
meetings to co-operate. 
Three DahUa shows during the Dahlia season were held. The 
Mordacai Silver Cup was won by Mrs. Charles Anderson, and the 
Club awarded a medal to their President, Mrs. Taft, in recognition 
of her work with the Dahlia and for seedlings created. The Cincinnati 
Garden Club is directly responsible for the planting of window boxes 
in all business houses along the thoroughfares.

The Garden Club of Cleveland has faced the same difficulty that Garden Club 
has confronted most of the other Garden Clubs, namely, that of re- of 
construction after the war activities with a definite and worth while Cleveland, 
object, aside from the pleasure derived from the monthly or garden Omo
