The Almost all of our Committee attended the three lectures given at 
Weeders the Academy of Natural Science arranged by the Society of Little 
Gardens and the Garden Club, We are devoting our first Spring 
meeting to the subject. 
A desire on our part to co-operate with the other Garden Clubs 
in any pubhc work we may undertake, has resulted in some very 
delightful interchange of ideas — an afternoon with The Gardeners, 
where colored slides were shown; and a day at the New York Flower 
Show, where Gillette's Exhibit and the Rock Gardens of Bobbink 
& Atkins were especially appreciated. This Chairman thinks that 
work among the school children through field days with their teachers 
would produce quick results, and in her neighborhood this has been 
started and leaflets given to the country schools. Next should 
come a gentle propaganda through the "movies" to reach not only 
the children but their often far more thoughtless parents. Clear 
and tactful paragraphs could be made from these aforementioned 
leaflets to accompany some of the colored shdes of the more usual 
flowers. 
We feel that our Wild Flower Committee will have the privilege 
of helping our country in a very real way in preserving the beauty of 
our woods and fields.

Garden We have not been able to meet as a committee and really plan 
Club of any work, except to make strenuous efforts at once to stop the whole- 
Albemarle sale cutting of Kalmia and Evergreens, which are used mostly for 
decoration at the University dances. 
(Mrs. John Newton) Harriet A. Tidd, Chairman 
Fauquier I enclose an article prepared by one of our members and trust 
AND you may find something of interest in it. Our meetings were discon- 
LouDOUN tinued during the winter, but we have just begun to meet again and 
Garden to garden. We shall have a wild flower picnic in May and will report 
Club it to you if it will interest the Wild Flower Committee. We are also 
steadily naturalizing and transplanting wild flowers into appropri- 
ate places in gardens and meadows. 
We assure you of our interest in the work of your Committee and 
our pride in the Bulletin, which is a precious possession for each 
one of us, and a great achievement for the Editors and the Garden 
Club of America.
