Tree with an appropriate bronze tablet has been planted at Ruxton 
station in honor of the men of Baltimore County who served in the 
war. We have an exchange of plants and seeds every year, and the 
Winter months are helped by the thoughts of flowers that will be bom 
again for us in the Spring.

Rye Garden During the year ending October 5th, the Rye Garden Club held 19 
Club, meetings. From April to October, inclusive, regular meetings were 
New York held on the first Tuesday of each month, informal meetings on the 
third Tuesday. 
The meetings included four Lectures and six Field Days. On 
Field Days the Club members visited, by invitation, various gardens 
in Long Island, New Jersey and Westchester County. 
During the summer of 1919 the Club undertook the flowering of 
East View Hospital and this Summer is supplying vegetables to the 
United Hospital, Port Chester. 
In August, 1919, a competition was held among the Club mem- 
bers for the planting of grounds and garden of the Quilting Bee in 
Rye. Blue-prints of the grounds were given to each member, and 
prizes awarded for the best plans. 
Each Spring the Club holds a Bulb or Flower Show and each Fall 
a Harvest Show. Entries for the Harvest Show are open to the public 
and exhibits include vegetables, fruit, canned goods, cakes and pies. 
In May of this year the Presidents of six Garden Clubs in the vicin- 
ity met in Rye at the invitation of the Rye Garden Club and discussed 
the possibilities of a combined Flower Show. It is now hoped that this 
may be held in the Spring of 192 1.
