The objects of this association shall be: to stimulate the knowledge and love of gar- 
dening among amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference 
and correspondence in this country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native 
plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
TREES IN WINTER 
Gaunt ribbed, they stand against the winter sky, 
And with thin fingers trace their loneliness. 
Gone is the fulsome ease of lush July 
And fallen is the sheen of summer's dress 
The tattered leaves that here and there yet sway 
Upon their branches are as parchment dry, 
Whirled by the wind they crackle and decay. 
The solitary figure of the crow 
Who makes the woods more lonely with his cry. 
Sole tenant is of these bare boughs of gray, 
Casting his sable shadow on the snow.
