Excerpt from Bulletin of the Garden Club of America, 1917 Mrs. Scott's arrangement of potted plants was unusually pretty. The rock gardens were one of the attractive features of the New York Show and there were many exquisitely arranged private exhibits, of which there were few in Philadelphia. At neither show were any startling novelties shown, but both were most interesting. The New York exhibit was the larger and more elaborate. The attendance at both was very large, an evidence of the constantly increasing interest in gardens and gardening.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Garden Club of America, 1917 The Guild of the Gardeners Full many gardeners work with me In my little patch of ground; And I welcome the buzz of each blundering bee As laden with pollen his road I see; From flower to flower he's found. Sir Toad and Sir Snake their castle make In the roots of my blossom there, And each doth his toll of the insects take, And each I cherish for blossom's sake, As we league in the Garden's care. A wood thrush dwells in my neighbour's tree, And sings us an evening song; A right good gardener, too, is he, Many a grub do his sharp eyes see And he feasts where the insects throng. Many the hours we spend at our ease, Busy with garden love, I and the birds and the buzzing bees, I and the flowers, I and the trees, Learning yet more and more. And will you enter the Gardener's Guild? 'Tis a Brotherhood mus be won. You must serve humbly at Nature's knees, Willing to learn what Nature please, At toil in the wind and sun. Oh, The Guild of the Gardeners! are you one? 'Tis under an ancient sign. 'Tis a League of the lovers of air and sun, And of God's fresh breeze, and of work well done, Thank God that its mark is mine. - Beulah H. J.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Garden Club of America: January, 1922 A little farther along the Route de Frejus is the Villa Ele onore, built and planted by Lord Brougham about ninety years ago. You will remember that Lord Brougham was delayed at Cannes by government formalities in a time of plague and, liking it well, set up there his winter residence. The growth of the town dates from that day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
