During June, the Garden Club of Cleveland held a Flower Show in

window boxes but factories and wholesale establishments are adopt-

On May 2d, Mrs. John W. Searing gave an interesting lecture on 
"Livable Gardens" for the Ulster Garden Club. Mrs. Searing's 
lectures are illustrated by beautiful pictures by Mrs. Jessie Tarbox 
Beals. Other subjects are "The Joys of a Little Garden" and
