The objects of this association shall be: to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening among 
amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference and correspondence in this 
country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
It's the Spring. 
Earth has conceived, and her bosom, 
Teeming with summer, is glad. 
Vistas of change and adventure, 
Thro' the green land 
The grey roads go beckoning and winding, 
Peopled with wains, and melodious 
With harness-bells jangling : 
Jangling and twangling rough rhythms 
To the slow march of the stately, great horses 
Whistled and shouted along. 
White fleets of cloud, 
Argosies heavy with fruitfulness, 
Sail the blue peacefully. Green flame the hedgerows. 
Blackbirds are bugling, and white in wet winds 
Sway the tall poplars. 
Pageants of colour and fragrance, 
Pass the sweet meadows, and viewless 
Walks the mild spirit of May, 
Visibly blessing the world. 
Pastoral — W. E. Henley.
