Gardening.” Members of the club
gave their own experiences with
varied types of plants, some of
which dealt with rare plants and
at the close of the comments, Mrs.
A. W. Drinkwater, president of
the club, requested that at one of
the spring meetings each member
bring an unusual plant to the club
showing an experience in indoor
gardening which seemed unique.
The club’s project for the month
was that of planting dogwoods.
Each member of the club pledged
herself to plant one or more dog
woods on a public plot, or a front
lawn and to urge others to do the
same during the month of January.
During the business session
those members of the club who
were present and had not made
their contribution to the Eliza
bethan Garden, did so, and expres
sed earnest hope that the project
would go forward. The club is
also ready to cooperate with the
other clubs of the community in
developing the pre-school play
ground which the 'Woman’s Club
still expects to push forward. The
club members stated their interest
in this project which was started
last spring.
During the social hour of the
afternoon the hostesses served cof
fee and strawberry shortcake,
which seemed a pleasant forerun
ner of spring.
