Allegheny Garden Club 
The Allegheny Garden Club has created a fund to be used by 
the County Agricultures to aid the farmers of the county in the pur- 
chase of seeds and fertilizers, and to urge them to a greater sowing and 
cultivation of farms — this fund to be kept separate from the Club's 
treasury. The Club has proposed also to give a vegetable show in the 
summer with prizes for various classes. 
Amateur Gardeners' Club 
The Amateur Gardeners' Club has undertaken a Community 
Garden which the Club has agreed to finance. The garden is situated 
in one of the poorer districts of the town, and is to be used for the 
cultivation of vegetables only and to be worked by families who will 
rent small patches for a nominal sum of money. It is superintended 
by a trained garden worker who is employed by the Civic League to 
do similar work throughout the city. 
Garden Club of Ann Arbor 
The Garden Club of Ann Arbor is doing no work as a Club, but 
all members are active in war work. Many have special duties in this 
crisis and one has been called to active service. Members are putting 
the major part of their time and gardens into growing vegetables and 
many are co-operating with other organizations in spreading garden 
propaganda. Experts on canning, etc., have been secured from the 
Michigan Agricultural College, whose lectures have been very suc- 
cessful, the attendance being so large that overflow meetings have had 
to be held. 
Green Spring Valley Garden Club 
The Green Spring Valley Garden Club has given away plants 
and seedlings to about ioo of the poorer people of the neighborhood. 
The use of a cannery in one of the neighborhood schools has been 
offered the Club for the canning of excess fruits and vegetables, which 
are to be sent from the Club to the Red Cross. Jam and marmalade 
has also been promised to the Red Cross, these to be put up at home. 
Harford County Garden Club 
The Harford County Garden Club still continues the regular 
meetings, but has given up having lectures; flower talks have been 
superseded by those on vegetables, canning, etc.
