■which could also be followed in season. Vines on the walls are Wistaria, 
shrubs of Deutzia and mock orange. Tall Cedar trees are massed in the 
corners. The main feature of this garden is a square stone wall, 
the crevices of which are planted with vines, moss and running 
plants. Entrance gate of dull green, delightfully English in form. 
A wide straight central path leads down to the dipping pool and two upper 
paths run parallel to the seats in the shaded corners. The real stone work 
cut to scale was entrancing, it was a garden everyone wanted to own and 
most simple to copy.

Design, Small garden close to the house, service garden beyond. 
Intimate circular garden delightfully close to the house. The path from 
the street leads up through two Japanese temple gates (very delightful 
suggestion). The contour of the rocky land is particularly well handled. 
A charming semi-circular stone seat at the foot of the lawn backed by 
Cedar trees gave variety. In every detail this was a perfect little gem, 
but the Judges considered the house was the main feature rather than 
the garden. 
To the Garden Club members who did such marvellously- 
good work, — and such hard work, — on the Miniature Gardens 
it must have been very gratifying to have the models instantly 
"be-spoke" for exhibition both in the Metropolitan Museum and 
the Museum of Natural History in New York. 
By this time the collection is scattered. The First prize-win- 
ner, the description of which is found on the central page of 
this Bulletin, is on exhibition at the T Square Club in Phila- 
delphia. The Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh hopes to have 
several of the models at the Garden Exhibit which they have 
planned in honor of the Garden Club of America when, as 
guests of the Garden Club of Allegheny County, they visit Pitts- 
burgh on their way from the Annual Meeting held this year in 
Cleveland. 
Japanese Flower Arrangements 
To the lay mind the Japanese Flower Arrangements were a 
disappointment, but Miss Averill professed herself proud of her 
pupils and encouraged by the right instincts displayed by 
Garden Club op America members. 
The first prize was won by Mrs. Littleton of the Garden Club 
of Fauquier and Loudoun Counties with an arrangement of 
Bird of Paradise flowers (Strelifzia Reginae) in a bronze recep- 
tacle like a little rock-edged pool beside which bronze turtles 
sunned themselves. It was simple and the details were well 
carried out. 
The second prize was awarded to Mrs. Seton Lindsay of the 
South Side Garden Club of Long Island for a graceful Cedar 
branch set in a charming blue and white bowl which stood on a 
peach-colored cloth. The bowl was filled with sand in which the 
branch was planted and snails (presumably) made patterns.
