retiring Chairman thanks most heartily the Zone Chairmen for their 
valuable services which have assured the satisfactory development 
of the Committee. 
Supple- Seven slides have been made of exhibits entered in the Bird-Bath 
MENTAEY and Planting class at the International Flower Show by the Garden 
Report of Club of Allegheny County, the Bedford Garden Club, the Garden 
THE Newly Club of Easthampton, the North Country Garden Club of Long 
Appointed Island, the Short Hills Garden Club, the Garden Club of Somerset 
Chairman Hills, and the Philipstown Garden Club. 
In thanking the many Member Clubs for their generous co-opera- 
tion which has so enlarged the Slide Library, a word must be said in 
regard to packing slides for shipment. Great care should be used in 
sending slide contributions and a similar message is extended to 
Clubs returning collections to the Committee. 
All requests for boxes of sHdes must be sent to the Chairman of 
the Committee at least two weeks before the date on which they are 
desired, addressed to 
Mrs. Samuel Edson Gage,

Margaret L. Gage, Chairman 
Trade As Chairman of the Trade Relations Committee, Miss Rose 
Relations Standish Nichols, presented her report as follows: 
Committee The main object of the Conmiittee on Trade Relations is to do 
away with graft. After the American Society of Landscape Archi- 
tects, the Ornamental Growers' Association, the American Nursery- 
men's Association, the National Gardeners' Association, and the 
Farm and Garden Association, not to mention our own society, had 
passed resolutions condemning both the givingj and taking of com- 
missions we hoped that we were on the road to victory. I am sorry, 
therefore, to report that not only is our work not finished, but it is 
hardly even begun. Mr. Frederick Law Olmsted of the American 
Society of Landscape Architects and Mr. H. P. Kelsey of the Orna- 
mental Growers' Association will probably call a meeting of the Trade 
Relations Committee comprising representatives of these societies, 
of the American Nurserymen's Association and of the Garden Club 
OF America the last of this month at my request. Any recommenda- 
tions from you can be brought up at that time. 
At the conclusion of the reading of this report upon motion duly 
made and seconded it was 
Voted: That the Garden Club of America co-operate with the 
Joint Committee on Trade Relations in opposing the taking of 
graft. X
