Notes 
The President of the South Side Garden Club of Long Bermuda 
Island, writes that any one wishing to visit the many charming Gardens 
gardens in Bermuda, may apply for permission to Mrs. 
Frederic P. Hill, Pembroke Hall, Pembroke, Bermuda. 
The Garden Club of Richmond, Massachusetts, has sent the Richmond 
Bulletin a copy of their calendar for the Garden Year Club 
from May through October. I wish it might be printed Calendar 
in full, for it is charming, compact and comprehensive. Perhaps 
a copy might be sent from the Richmond Club to any harassed 
Club Secretary who is trying to make up her program for 
next year. 
Because of several requests received lately at the Bulletin Policy 
Office from professional magazines for Garden Club of Committee 
America news for publication in their periodicals, it is 
thought wise to print in this issue of the Bulletin a decision of 
the Board of Directors of the Garden Club op America. 
At a meeting held January 12th, 1921, in reply to a question 
from the Policy Committee whether *' information from member 
clubs should be given out through professional magazines;" 
the decision of the Directors was that "no information of 
Garden Club matters be sent out except through the 
Bulletin." 
The love of gardens which is latent in the heart of every 
American, has taken the form of a great Garden-Club movement. 
Groups of women are forming all over the country, just to meet 
and discuss the successes and discouragements of their beloved 
plants, to exchange a few bulbs and to hear how best to care for 
these garden children. How to be of most use to these embryo 
clubs is a problem of the Garden Club of America. 
There are some flourishing clubs not quite old enough to come 
into our circle, or for some reason not anxious to affiliate, but 
still writing to us for advice or looking to us for suggestions. To 
these, Chapter XIII of Mrs. King's "Pages from a Garden Note 
Book," is recommended. It tells not only how to start a club, 
but gives many helpful suggestions for older clubs and rules for 
shows. Any of these clubs might subscribe for our Bulletin if 
they feel it would be of help. But we must not give these mem- 
bers too many of our hard-won privileges. Therefore the 
Directors wish to remind us that Mrs. Thome's "Garden Vis- 
itor" is absolutely non-transferable. It is our passport, and like 
a passport cannot be lent. The conditions of visiting, you will 
notice, say that we may be "accompanied by one non-member." 
Our club papers which the Librarian keeps, and our slides 
are for use by Member Clubs only.
