Notes. 
Slides The Slides Committee wishes again to call to the attention 
Committee of the Member Clubs of the Garden Club op America, the rule 
that "two weeks' notice must be given of the date on which a 
set of slides is desired." Many times a collection of slides 
desired by a Member Club for a certain date is, at the time the 
request is made, at the other end of the State, or at a consider- 
able distance from the office. It should be easily seen that due 
time must be allowed for the return of the slides, their re- 
arrangement and re-shipment. It is not possible to fill the 
requests unless such notice is given, and this rule will be strictly 
adhered to. 
Inter- "While in France Mrs. Crosby had great success in establish- 
national ing affiliation with the "Societe Dendrologique de France" and 
Relations with the "Societe Nationale d 'Horticulture de France," whose 
Committee representatives greeted her with much interest and cordiality 
and undertook to arrange for the interchange of publications. 
She had a most interesting visit at the Vilmorin nursery, the 
gardens being personally shown her by Monsieur Leray. 
Mrs. Crosby expresses great appreciation of the successful 
effort of Mr. Dykes, secretary of the Royal Horticultural 
Society, who arranged that many members carrying letters of 
introduction from the Garden Club op America were permitted 
to visit private gardens. 
Historic Several interesting papers have been received of late. One 
Gardens from Mrs. Eowe of the Cincinnati Garden Club, with a descrip- 
Committee tion of old gardens in that city and in Lexington, so fascinating 
that we shall all want to visit them. This paper is delightfully 
illustrated by photographs. 
Mrs. Stockton sends charming notes of the gardens of 
"Morven" and "Prospect" at Princeton. Mrs. Frazier has 
nearly completed her work on the eastern part of Pennsylvania, 
and Mrs. McKnight writes us of the restoration of an historic 
garden in an old-world village in Allegheny County. 
These papers and others will be published in the Bulletin 
as space permits. 
The Best Mr. T. A. Havemeyer, President of the Horticultural Society 
Kind op °f New York, pays this compliment to the Garden Club of 
Publicity America by saying in a recent speech: "I personally think that 
the Garden Club op America is doing more for horticulture 
today than any other society." The speech referred to was 
before the National Association of Gardeners, and was made in 
introducing Mrs. Sloan, who gave the address of welcome.
