The objects of this association shall be: to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening among 
amateurs; to share the advantages of association, through conference and correspondence in this 
country and abroad; to aid in the protection of native plants and birds; and to encourage civic planting. 
Now when the time of fruit and grain is come, 
When apples hang above the orchard wall, 
And from a tangle by the roadside stream 
A scent of wild grapes fills the racy air, 
Comes Autumn with her sunburnt caravan, 
Like a long gypsy train with trappings gay 
And tattered colors of the Orient, 
Moving slow-footed through the dreamy hills. 
The woods of Wilton, at her coming, wear 
Tints of Bokhara and of Samarcand; 
The maples glow with their Pompeian red, 
The hickories with burnt Etruscan gold; 
And while the crickets fife along her march, 
Behind her banners burns the crimson sun. 
Bliss Carman.
