ATLANTIC ZONE 
Mrs. William K. Wallbridge, Chairman, Short Hills, N. J. 
The Atlantic Zone of the Wild Flower Preservation Committee of 
the Garden Club of America covers the area in the neighborhood 
of New York, 
There are sixteen clubs in all — six in New York, three on Long 
Island and seven in New Jersey. All of these clubs have appointed 
a Chairman for Wild Flower Preservation work. Eight reports have 
been made of work already done and planned for the coming year. 
Garden Clubs which have meetings only during the summer have not 
been heard from. 
The reports will show how much good work is being undertaken. 
(Mrs. William K.) Gertrude S. Wallbridge, Chairman 
Garden The Wild Flower Committee of the East Hampton Garden 
Club of Club is planning to undertake the following work during the sum- 
East mer of 1921: 
Hampton At each regular meeting of the Club there will be an exhibit 
of the wild flowers in bloom at the time, with their names, common 
and scientific. Every effort will be made to protect the Laurel, 
the orange and white-fringed Orchids (Eabenaria ciliaris and hleph- 
anglothis) and the Butterfly Weed {Asclepias tuber osa). 
One of our members has kindly given the use of part of her 
estate in the effort to naturalize plants not indigenous but which from 
the character of the cHmate might become so. Those to be tried 
this year are the Cardinal Flower {Lobelia cardinalis), the Fringed 
Gentian {Gentiana cinita), and the Wild Azalea (Rhododendron nudi- 
florum). 
We plan to put up the notices of the Wild Flower Preservation 
Society of America at points sufl&ciently removed from the plants
