Tryon Garden Club
Has Annual Meeting
The Tryon Garden Club, at its
annual meeting in the Congrega
tional Church House, heard reports
of all committee chairmen, and
then elected the following officers
for the coming year: president,
Mrs. Walter Fellows; vice-presi
dent, Mrs. Fred Owen; recording
secretary, Mrs. Willard Young;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. Wil
liam Barrow; treasurer, Miss
Sybil K. Morse.
Following a luncheon at Mill
Farm Inn, the meeting reconvened
for a lecture, illustrated with
colored slides by Oliver Freeman
on the Washington Arboretum. Mr.
Freeman, who served as curator of
the Arboretum from 1932 to 1950,
told how the plans for such a pro
ject were first authorised by Con
gress in 1927, how 420 acres of
suitable land were set aside in the
northeast section of the city of
Washington, only about three
miles from the Capitol, how over
25 acres are used for growing nur
sery stock, and how every effort
is made to plant the various trees
and shrubs in such a way that
they create a lovely landscape
picture all year round. Particularly
beautiful were the colored slides
of the Azaleas in bloom at the
Arboretum. Some of the pictures
were taken by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest
Burwell on a trip there last year.
