Riis of our earnest individual co-operation in the time still before us. 
Motion carried. 
Mrs. Martin called for the Reports of the Different Committees. 
Committee on Beautifying of Roadsides — In the absence of the 
Chairman, Doctor Warthin, the report was read by the Secretary. 
Color Chart — Report printed elsewhere. 
Committee on Garden Literature — Report printed elsewhere. 
Committee on Historical Gardens — Miss Goodman reported for the 
Chairman, Mrs. Groome, that they would postpone this work for 
another year on account of the war. 
Honorary Award — Mrs. King, the Chairman, stated the Com- 
mittee was desirous that this work should continue. The Committee 
have consulted with a sculptor, Mr. Flannigan, who will make a design 
for a medal for $1,500.00. After that the cost would be about $1.60 
each for bronze impressions if 100 were ordered at one time. It was 
felt with 2,000 members of the Garden Club that this expense might 
be met for such a cause. 
Mrs. Allan Marquand, a Member of the Committee, felt that it 
was desirable to have this medal so that it could be given on special 
occasions and urged the Club, if it were giving a medal, to give a 
beautiful one. 
Mrs. Scribner also spoke in favor of the medal, stating that the 
artists should be encouraged at this time so that they would not have 
to suffer as have the artists and sculptors abroad. 
A motion was made and seconded that the Committee on Honorary 
Award be instructed to canvass according to their best ideas for sub- 
scriptions for the medal, and report at the next Executive Meeting 
of the Garden Club in October. Motion was carried. 
Committee on the Bulletin — In the absence of the Editor of the 
Bulletin, Mrs. Brewster, the report was read by Mrs. Stewart. 
A motion was then made by Mrs. King and seconded by Mrs. 
Sanford that "The heartiest vote of thanks of which this gathering is 
capable be sent to Mrs. Brewster for her unremitting and brilliant 
services as Editor of the Bulletin." This motion was unanimously 
carried. 
Committee on Lectures — Report printed elsewhere. 
Remedies for Pests — Report printed elsewhere. 
Photography Committee — There was no report as in war time it 
has been deemed unadvisable to make any special effort in the line of
