dealing with the period in American landscape gardening which came just before 
the Civil War. 
Earle. Old Time Gardens. Although not accurate or in any sense profes- 
sional this book contains a great many interesting points for those seeking informa- 
tion as to Colonial landscape gardening. 
Eliot, Charles W. Charles Eliot, Landscape Architect. The best book 
we have taking up the whole subject of landscape architecture practiced as a 
profession. 
Felton. Portraits of English Authors. Of the earlier English books dealing 
with landscape gardening, this rare book ought to be better known which can only 
be done through a reprint. To the student in the history of landscape gardening 
this book is of special interest. 
Jekyll. Colour in the Flower Garden. While many of the flowers suggested 
in this book do not grow well in American gardens, the general ideas are of great 
value in planting. 
Nichols. English Pleasure Gardens. While in many ways not accurate and 
in spite of the subject being presented from perhaps but one point of view, this 
book presents the subject of the whole historv of landscape gardening in a very 
general readable way. 
Triggs. Art of Garden Design in Italy and England. These two books are 
of value and several others in the list, for their good illustrations of gardens.

Committee on Garden Pests and Remedies 
Chairman — Miss Lucilla Colgate Austen, Amateur Gardeners. 
Members — 
Mrs. David Chidlow, Ridgefield Garden Club. 
Mrs. Appleton Wilson, Amateur Gardeners. 
Report — 
This Committee is being formed very slowly, as we find really 
interested workers from the different sections. It is mainly 
executive and depends on the sub-committees in the Member 
Clubs for original work. We earnestly hope to have more 
members soon. The clubs in the Atlantic States are working 
hard: so far the Western clubs have not replied at all.
