A tract of land on Shaker Heights, all of which was orig- ~ v 
inally owned by one of the Shaker communities, has been turned ARDEN 
into a wild garden, by the combined efforts of the City of Cleve- L B 
land and the two Garden Clubs. The wild flowers were every- 
where fast disappearing, and here they will be preserved and 
increased for the pleasure of future generations. The ruined 
mill left by the last of the Shakers is an interesting landmark 
on the grounds. 
The second day the annual meeting will be held at the 
Kirtland Club, and Presidents, delegates, and non-delegates will 
lunch there. From the tower of the Club seven counties may be 
seen, and nearby is the old Mormon temple, which was founded 
by the Latter Day Saints as the tide of Mormonism flowed west- 
ward. At Mentor, one of the way stations to the Club, stands the 
old home of the late President Garfield. Later in the afternoon 
at the Art Museum, of which Cleveland is justly proud, Mr. 
Henry Turner Bailey will talk on trees. 
Wednesday's program includes luncheons at the Hunt Club,
