ments. It is too arduous and expensive a task to devolve upon 
individuals. 
Late in March we had a very successful flower show at the home 
of our president, Mrs. Frederic A. C. Perrine, every member of the 
Club showing her interest by making one or more entries. 
At special meetings during the winter, we enjoyed talks by Mr. 
Wildman of Philadelphia, Mr. Otto Thilow, Mrs. Verplanck — twice — 
Mr. Fuld and Mr. Meyer, plant research explorer of the United States 
Department of Agriculture. 
We were represented at the meeting of the Garden Club of America 
in Lenox by our president, a delegate and one or two other members of 
the club.
