but we hope to get something from them soon. 
Members of the Societies represented in your Committee are as 
follows:

The reports on the American Sweet Pea Society and the North- 
western Peony and Iris Society were made by their respective 
secretaries as no member of the Garden Club of America is listed 
in their membership. This fault we hope to correct before long.

Four negatives of city gardens have been received and will be 
made into shdes for the use of the Garden Club of America. In 
acknowledging with thanks this acceptable contribution, the Com- 
mittee wishes to state that other plates depicting the subject of city 
gardens will be welcome. 
Owing to the growing demand for collections of slides, a decision 
has been made to ask a payment of two dollars for each box sent out 
to a Member Club in order that the overhead expenses of the Com- 
mittee may be more adequately met. 
A new Chairman will be appointed who will conduct the work of 
the Committee which will be centraUzed under one head. Your
