Wild Flower Preservation 
Wild People 
Spring begins when the leaf falls from the tree, when we 
plant our May bulbs and when we finish this year's work. 
We know that as the trees and plants are storing up energy 
for the new output of vigor, we too must be alert and ready 
before the real time comes for our activity. Garden Clubs are 
not so active in the winter, but the Wild Flower committees 
have then their best opportunity, for in winter we can reach 
that tremendous group of our embryonic citizens, the school 
children. The Wild Flower committee in one of our ^laryland 
Clubs has gone through the country with a simple pledge to be 
signed, which asks the children to help the Garden Club op 
Harford County in this work of protection and over one 
thousand names w^ere signed.
