Moths and Butterflies; and Botanical Exhibits — not to mention 
a rare collection of Garden Books ancient and modern. Imagine 
what a field this was in which to browse for weeks! As the 
Exhibition is open till the autumn I hope many of our members 
who are passing through Pittsburgh will stop over a few days 
for these delights. 
Out of this wealth of beauty I can only mention a few out- 
standing gems. Three pictures by Henri le Sidaner of al fresco 
repasts — especially the one called The Stone Table; In my Gar- 
den by Gari Melchers, Pond-lilies at Giverney by Claud Monet. 
The Veil of Leaves by Ruger Donaho and another Peonies by 
Wilton Lockwood. 
Then in the long gallery, Maud Mason's Phloxes stood out 
true and refreshing. White Lilies by F. C. Prieske can never 
be forgotten. Two paintings by Laura Hills and Jane Peterson, 
both called Peonies, were an interesting contrast. A pastel of 
white Poppies by Gladys Thayer Reasoner gave great pleasure. 
Roses by Abbott Thayer and a number of flower combinations 
by Carl Blenner were most interesting. A small painting of 
The Little Fountain by Miss Margaret Whitehead made some 
of us wish that she would come and paint our gardens — such 
life and joy did she get into that small canvas. The fountain 
itself was by McCartan. 
Among the etchings it was good to see Katherine Cameron's 
fairy-like work again, and the wood block-print by Helen Isen- 
bart called Jasmine was bewitching. Mrs. Hailman, our hostess 
of the morning, had three delightful paintings, one called The 
Blue Border was specially admired. There were two notable 
Redfields — landscapes with Plum-blossoms, and another with 
Apple-blossoms, that attracted a good deal of attention. 
As for sculpture, there were wonderful things by Malvina 
Hoffman, Anna Hyatt, Edith Parsons, Brenda Putnam and 
Prances Grimes, all most gifted women. 
Edward McCartan had four delightful entries. A collection 
of lead figures created great excitement. They would suit so 
many of our little gardens. 
The plans and photographs were tantalizing, even maddening 
to the enthusiasts who tried to glean in ten minutes what they 
needed weeks to assimilate. The special collection of 122 
photographs of domestic Landscape Architects covers an 
immense field and would greatly repay detailed study by us 
amateurs. I feel sure the Galleries are haunted at midnight by 
the eager shades of Garden Club members who have come back 
in spirit to "read, mark and inwardly digest" this gathering 
together of all they love best — I, for one, have dreamed of 
nothing else.
