The Garden During the War the Summit Club abandoned its regular meetings, 
Club of and the members devoted themselves to Red Cross, War Garden and 
Summit, Land Army Service. During the past year the Club has been simply 
New Jersey enjoying itself. It has met every two weeks during the season, and at 
each meeting has had talks on practical garden subjects by experts. 
Mrs. McKinney of Madison, N. J., talked on The Bearded Iris, 
Its Culture and Charm; Mr. Manda of South Orange, on Trees, Ever- 
green and Otherwise, for this section; Mr. Lager of Lager & Hurrell 
of Summit, on Orchids, and Mr. Smith, from Bobbink & Atkins, on 
Fertilizers. Mr. Totty of Madison, N. J., gave three afternoons, 
Roses, Chrysanthemums, and The Fall Hardy Garden. 
Mr. Rothe of Glenside, Pennsylvania, gave a most interesting 
talk on Rock Gardens, showing about eighty colored slides. 
Our season is closing with Mr. Leonard Barron of Garden City, on 
Fall Gardens and Spring Preparations, with slides. 
We were able to make some creditable exhibits at Short Hills, 
both in the June Flower Show and in the September Dahlia Show. 
But if it were possible for us to put into execution all of the ideas 
with which we are bubbling. Summit could not hold us. 
We have worked with the Summit Board of Trade in the matter of 
signs and have succeeded in modifjdng to modest proportions those 
announcing the location of Summit. 
We hope to extend our influence further in this matter.

\ of Trenton, twenty-nine at the present time. Monthly meetings are held from 
a ; New Jersey October until June. Original papers are read by members, garden 
p topics are discussed and lectures given by professionals. 
From the proceeds of an illustrated lecture given last Winter by 
Dr. Reik of New York, and donations from some of the Club members, 
we were enabled to plant shrubbery and boxwood in the grounds of the 
Old Barracks, a Colonial landmark in Trenton, built in 17 58 and used 
for quartering troops during the Revolution. The Club also sent 
perennials to be planted in the grounds of the Camp Dix Hospital. 
In September the Club presented a silver cup as a prize for the best 
Dahlia in the Annual Show of the Trenton Dahlia Society, a large 
organization made up of amateur gardeners from all parts of the city. 
After the Annual Meeting in October we had an exhibit of Autumn 
flowers from our gardens. 
The President has appointed a Committee to work out some plan
