Katharine C. Sloan, Chairman 
In view of the meeting of the Garden Club of America, No. i, in Committee 
Virginia next autumn, I have made the following plans for the Historic on Historic 
Gardens Committee — ist. To compile a bibliography of all books, Gardens 
monographs and articles published on the subject of old gardens in 
Virginia and Maryland ; 2d, to make a list of gardens " over one hundred 
years old" which have not hitherto been recorded, including in such 
list pictures and descriptions of any gardens which are of special 
interest, with notes of design and planting, and also of the historic 
interest, traditions and anecdotes connected therewith. This material 
when collected should be on file with the Librarian for use especially 
by the members going to Virginia. Whether the material should be 
distributed among the clubs would depend upon the value and 
interest which might develop. 
To carry out this plan the co-operation of the Clubs in Virginia 
and Maryland is, of course, necessary. I am writing to the Presidents 
of those Clubs asking for suggestions and also to be put in com- 
munication with such of their members as would be interested to 
help in the work. I shall write to the Presidents of all the other Clubs 
as well, asking for a corresponding member from each, as the same 
general plan should gradually be carried out for all the States. 
It is a pleasure to report that in response to a note in the December 
Bulletin, I have received from Miss Mary Olcott a most interesting 
account of "Casagmo" gardens in Ridgefield. There is undoubtedly 
a wealth of such material which it should be the aim of the Committee 
to assemble. Delia. West Marble, Chairman 
Woman's National Farm and Garden Association 
The Woman's National Farm and Garden Association announces 
that for the first time the Art Institute of Chicago has combined the 
Architectural-Exhibit with that of Landscape and Garden Design, as 
they feel that their Association must demonstrate the great necessity 
of having the two go hand-in-hand.
