The Rose Garden of Admiral and Mrs. Aaron Ward will again be 
shown in June at "Willowmere," Roslyn, Long Island, for the benefit 
of the American Ambulance Hospital at Neuilly, France. 
Last year Admiral Ward offered bis garden for this cause, and the 
proceeds of the entertainment paid for an ambulance, which he named 
in memory of Claude Pernet, the son of the famous rosarian in Lyons, 
who was killed in battle. 
Although the rose fete last year was not widely announced, there 
were 1200 people who took advantage of the opportunity to see 
Admiral Ward's famous roses. This year they will be shown on 
Thursday, June 8th, from three to six o'clock, and during the after- 
noon Mr. E. H. Wilson of the Arnold Arboretum will deliver a special 
lecture on the hybridization of roses. 
In case of rain, exhibition will be postponed until the following day . 
Tickets of admission, Si. 00, can be obtained from Mrs. Robert 
Bacon, Westbury, Long Island, or at "Willowmere," Roslyn, Long 
Island. 
Under the auspices of the Garden Club of Cincinnati, Mrs. Francis 
King gave a lecture on "Color in the Flower Garden" on April 5th. 
Early in April this Club opened a distributing station, from which 
in two days many thousand Crimson Rambler plants were sold at the 
nominal price of ten cents each. 
Mrs. Albert Krippendorf is chairman of the Garden Extension 
Committee. 
Mrs. Herbert W. Hamlin has originated a well-planned Garden 
Record Book which might be of interest to Garden Club members. 
It is arranged to cover a period of five years and is practical and 
convenient. Copies may be had from Mrs. Hamlin, Greenwich, Conn. 
Excerpts from a Letter 
Just Received from Mrs. Walter S. Millard 
The Ridge, Malabar Hill, Bombay, India 
"I five in hope that we may still start such a thing (a Garden Club) 
in Bombay, but it is impossible until the war is over. All our thoughts 
and work are given over to war and what we can do for the poor 
wounded, etc., and how we wish it would come to an end, and have 
peace once more."
