A recent advertisement by Carbone and Company of Boston, 
announces his decision to discontinue the sale of Arbutus, Laurel 
and Ground Pine, after Jul} 7 first, when his present contracts 
cease. This is a splendid courageous step on the part of this 
well-known firm, which we cannot too highly estimate, as showing 
a beginning towards co-operation on the part of the commercial 
dealers. 
This small and most useful volume was originally compiled 
by The Gardener's Chronicle and when the first edition was sold 
out. they did not care to publish another, so in 1915 the Garden 
Club of Michigan printed a second edition, but this was soon 
exhausted and it has been impossible to buy a copy for several 
years past. 
There seemed to be a very real demand for this book and the 
Directors of the Garden Club op America authorized the order- 
ing of 1000 copies, to be ready on June first. 
They will sell for one dollar each and it is hoped that every 
member of The Garden Club of America will not only buy one 
for herself, but several more for her friends, thus justifying the 
Club in assuming this financial obligation. 
At a meeting of the Philipstown Club, Mrs. W. H. Haldane 
won a competition, "Naming Wild Flowers." Fifty cards of 
wild flowers such as are used in public schools were placed on 
boards and numbered and the members had paper and pencil 
given them and a half hour to compete. Mrs. Haldane named 
forty-eight correctly. Mrs. Frederick Osborn won a similar 
competition in naming birds. 
Cards for recording the colors of flowers according to the 
Ridgeway Chart can be bought at the Garden Club of America 
Office for fifty cents per hundred. 
The next International Flower Show will be held in New 
York March 12th to 17th, 1923, closing on the 17th (Saturday). 
You will note that this does not include Sunday, thus departing 
from the custom of other years. 
The Committee on Foreign Relations has deposited with the 
Central Office, 598 Madison Avenue. New York City, information, 
lists of Gardens, and cards of introduction necessary to permit 
visiting those gardens abroad which are open to our members. 
These lists and cards are to be had by applying through the 
President of your home Club to the Central Office. 
Correction In the May "Bulletin, through an oversight in proof-reading, 
the chairman of the prize-winning luncheon table at the Flower 
Show in New York last spring was listed as "Miss Haldane" 
instead of "Mrs. Haldane."
