The Decatur Heights Citizens' Asso- ciation was organized around ‘“‘the old town pump.” The pump is gone, but the association with new enthusi- asm carries on a number of local ac- tivities. It pays special attention to the artistic planting of the home grounds and devotes siderable skill to vegetable and flower gardening. The ladies of the community make commendable exhibits at the Prince Georges County Special lawn irden campaigns are being initiated by several of the citizens’ associations in and about ‘Washington. We have the report that the lowa Citizens' Association at a recent meeting appointed a commit- tee to draw up suggestions for the use of Its members for the improve- ment of lawns in that vicinity. Following its plans of last year, the SATURDAY.

This column will keep you informed as to coming events. : Order blanks are now being dis- tributed to the members of the Ta- koma Horticultural Club, by which the individuals may secure a 10 per cent discount on all purchases of seeds and garden supplies from one of the larger firms in Washington. Orders also are being taken by Dr. D. N. Shoemaker, chairman of the lime purchasing com- mittee. The low prices secured on carload shipments direct from the lime kiln is another example of co- operative buying. Why not introduce this feature for the members of your garden club?
