Arts, and Landscape Garden Design.

four states — Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana — and they 
hope for special exhibits in handicraft of one kind or another. 
In addition to the exhibits in the Galleries, every Wednesday and 
Saturday afternoon, during the period from March 8th to April sth, 
they are to have, in Fullerton Hall, lectures pertaining to Agriculture 
or Horticulture, many of them illustrated by slides or pictures of the 
beauties of color in landscape design. These lectures will be free. 
Christmas The fourth annual Christmas Market held under the auspices of 
Market the Woman's National Farm and Garden Association in Boston 
showed a marked improvement over any previous year. The sum of 
$7,500.00 was taken in, and this 1920 Market handled three times the 
amount of "produce" over any other year. 
The sales of the Market include farm-produce, fancy-work, jellies, 
anything and everything that a woman-farmer, or garden or rural 
house-keeper would ofifer in exchange for money with which to carry 
on her business. Eggs, preserves, knitting, tatting, poultry, cheeses, 
etc., are sent in, and the sender receives the amount of the sale less 
10% the latter amount being used for the Scholarship Fund which the 
Association has created for young women eager to study gardening, 
floriculture, or farm management; sixteen were placed in good paying 
positions last summer. 
City Gar- The City Gardens Club of New York City has affihated with the 
DENS Club Society of Little Gardens. They have adopted as their slogan "Let 
us have backs to our houses as well as fronts." Although only two 
years old, they have already done valuable work in planting the yards 
of churches and hospitals, besides turning their own back yards into 
gardens which can boast some architectural beauty, besides the ac- 
quisition of plants and shrubs. The architecture of the backyard is 
one of the most vital objectives of the Society of Little Gardens. In 
order to stimulate interest in this much needed art a competition will 
be held in May at the Art Alliance, prizes to be given by the Society. 
As soon as this plan is perfected it will be given to the public.
