better by the efforts. Plans for next
year are already under way. The
club plans on starting early in the
spring before time for preparing the
ground. Instructions will be given
when to prepare the ground, what
character of ground best to select for
the various plants, the manner of
preparation, and every other detail
necessary to educate the children in
the work. In this way the rial
foundation laid this year will enable
the club to make real progress next
year. The following letter from the
judges will explain the necessity of
earlier efforts next year:

make, owing to the great differences
in the size of the competing tracts
and also to the varying tastes of the
competitors in their choice of varie
ties of flowers, vines and shrubs. An
other difficulty, and one that should
be provided against in any future
