The report of the Visiting Gardens Committee was read by the Visiting 
Chairman, Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne, as follows: Gardens 
This Committee has little to report, but wishes to thank the Presi- Committee 
dents for their hearty co-operation and for the trouble they have 
taken in making the Garden List a possibihty. 
The Lists were sent out in the month of March and early April; 
some were received at Easter, March 27 th, so we hope that all 
members have their copies at this time. The copies were sent direct 
to the Presidents, as their signatures were necessary to make the 
lists personal and non-transferable. 
As three thousand copies were printed there remain extra copies for 
those whose copies went astray, and these may be had by applying 
through your President to the Chairman of this Committee. 
The Committee has had letters wishing to add gardens of members 
whose cards came in too late, and some letters noting corrections, 
so we have decided to send out a list of additions and corrections, if 
the members will send all such to the Chairman by May 25th. 
In regard to corrections — the Committee wishes to state that two 
bank hand-writing experts did the best they could to decipher the 
cards. They returned a few for verification and then dictated to the 
stenographer what, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the text 
was meant to be. 
We think that if the Lists prove a source of pleasure worth con- 
tinuing, it would be wise in another year to follow the custom of the 
Government Income Tax Collector and ask that at least the names 
be printed. 
It is not possible to thank sufficiently those Clubs who sent in their 
cards entirely typewritten. 
This Committee is most anxious to have a frank expression of 
opinion at any time regarding anything in the List itself, in the working 
out of our plan, or in the conduct of the members which in any way 
does not prove in accord with the wishes and ideals of the Club. 
The following report of the Color Chart Committee was presented Color 
by the Chairman, Mr. Fletcher Steele : Chart
