Every member of The Garden Club op America who was 
fortunate enough to have attended the Flower Show in New 
York in March was justly proud of the exhibits shown by 
Members and by Member Clubs. Never before have the 
Clubs been so closely brought together as at that time. "We all 
thank the twenty-four Clubs and the twenty-six Members for 
responding so ably. 
Many thanks are due the Flower Show Chairman, Mrs. 
McPherson, and her Committee for their untiring efforts in 
making this possible. Each Exhibit, whether a Table Decoration, 
a Japanese Arrangement or an adorable Miniature Garden, was 
a pleasure and an education to thousands of persons. 
I wish you could have heard the remarks I heard every day 
and all day long from the enthusiastic crowds. 
When I asked for co-operation in the January Bulletin I 
did not dream of anything so far reaching, and I thank you 
most deeply. 
Katherine C. Sloan, President. 
The members of the Flower Show Commitee of the Garden 
Club of America wish to take this opportunity to acknowledge 
with keen appreciation the unfailing courtesy and helpful 
assistance of the Horticultural Society of New York, so generous- 
ly extended to them at the recent International Flower Show. 
Margaret McPherson, Chairman. 
The Bulletin voices the opinion of every Garden Club 
member who was in New York for the Flower Show, in 
expressing its admiration for the splendid work done by the 
President and the Secretary during that fatiguing week and 
through the preceding weeks of preparation. 
The Tea Eoom Committee and the Girl Scouts too, were 
wonderful in the successful accomplishment of their important 
part, and their timely ministrations to the weary garden-lovers, 
will long be remembered with gratitude. 
As this is the Wild Flower number of the Bulletin, the first 
twenty pages are devoted to news of this very important depart- 
ment of the Garden Club of America. Mrs. Farwell has 
selected and edited the articles, and it is interesting- to compare 
this number with May of last year and see how the work has 
progressed.
