£be Xenox Garben Club 
The Lenox Garden Club, now beginning its sixth year, reports a 
very successful and interesting season, during which meetings were held 
every two weeks, of Club or Council, with informal conferences and 
demonstrations or lectures by experts on subjects pertaining to horti- 
culture. 
Our Vice-President, Dr. W. Gilman Thompson, favored the 
club with a lecture illustrated with charts and specimens on "Garden 
Plants Used in Medicine." Professor Chandler, the noted chemist, 
told us about dyestuffs obtained from madder, logwood, saffron and 
other plants, and how they have been replaced advantageously by the 
synthetic processes of modern chemistry. 
Mr. Herbert W. Faulkner, of Washington, Conn., lectured most 
entertainingly upon "The Mysteries of the Flowers," using ingenious 
working models on a large scale of flowers and of the bees and other 
insects that cross-fertilize them. 
Among the lecturers was also Louis Agissis Fuertes, the artist- 
ornithologist, who delighted us with his talk about "Birds in the 
Garden." His water color pictures of birds and his clever imitations 
of their songs are equally remarkable. 
At the Annual Meeting in October the officers of the Club were 
re-elected and committees appointed to prepare for the entertainment of 
the Garden Club of America at Lenox on June 27, 28, 29, 1916. 
By way of entertainment at this meeting, we had a talk by Mr. Wilson, 
horticultural explorer connected with the Arnold Arboretum of Boston. 
He showed about seventy-five tinted lantern views of the charming 
gardens of Japan.

Xttcbfielb (Sarben Club, Season 1915 
During the summer months of 1915 the Litchfield Garden Club 
has held eight regular meetings, all well attended. The club has estab- 
lished associate memberships, such members having all the privileges of 
the club, save the vote and paying dues of $5.00. 
There have been three interesting and profitable lectures given 
before the club, one on "Roses" by Mr. Maurice Fuld, which was 
followed by a demonstration of pruning in the garden of the hostess of 
the day.
