fulfilled their whole purpose unless the beauty in their own gardens 
overflows. 
"And thou shalt be like a watered garden whose waters fail not, 
and they that shaU be of thee shall build up the old waste places." 
Mrs. M. H. Bowman, Jr., Recording Secretary, 
Garden Club The Garden Club of Harford County, Maryland, held but three 
or Harford meetings during the year 19 19. At one of these it was decided that the 
County, Club should use its influence in endeavoring to save a very beautiful 
Maryland part of the County, "The Rocks of Deer Creek," hoping to have it 
made into a State Reservation or Park; we are still working with that 
end in view. Flowers were sent to the hospitals and plants given away 
' to our neighbors as usual. 
During the season ended September, 1920, our Garden Club held 
eight well attended meetings. At two of these we had lecturers, Mr. 
Windsor, on Gardens in England and France, and Mr. Vincent, on 
Dahlias. At another, a talk upon spraying was given by one of our 
members; at another the hostess gave a demonstration in canning. 
One afternoon was given up to reading Mrs. Martin E. Ridgely's 
report on the Annual Meeting of the Garden Club of America. 
At the three other meetings there was a general exchange of garden 
experiences, and transaction of business. 
During the war and the year following the Club merely existed, but 
the past season shows a renewed interest, greater than in any previous 
year.
