The | reports by individual club pres- | idents were omitted and only District Directors reported. On| the first day, besides registration, | there were a board meeting and luncheon for State Officers. Forums of the different depart- ments of the Federation were | held in the afternoon and the | opening dinner was held that | night with addresses by Mr. Dan Beard and Mr. Oliver Griswold | with two moving pictures on “The Everglades, a Treasury of Wildlife.” The introduction of speakers by Mrs. Lewis H. Palm- er was clever and highly amus- ing. The pictures were excellent | but one would have been enough. | Afterwards a reception was held | in honor of Mrs. G. C. Spillers, | president of the National Coun- cil of State Garden Clubs. Mrs. William Knox, State Horticulture Chairman, request- ed Miss Cunniff (District 6) to aid her in the Horticulture For- um. The Key West delegate ini- tiated a new idea of oral quiz- zing of club members to elicit desired information on plant/ growing data from different parts of the state asked for by Mrs. Knox. Miss Cunniff con- ducted the quiz and had 3 quizzees to demonstrate the method to other horticulture chairmen and members in the short time alloted. It was a lively and informa- tive session. The growing of native plants in gardens to pre- serve vanishing flora was stress- ed and a display of suitable wild plants from all ts of Florida was on display. The six differ- ent examples from the Keys were exhibited, namely: Gumbo- limbo, wild lantana, byrsonima, | lignum-vitae, joewood. and bay cedar. | The second day of the con-/| vention opened with the Pres- | idents’ Breakfast and Round Ta- | ble Discussion, and continued} with the first complete session | in the auditorium, State Presi- dent, Mrs. Halle Cohen, received | a gift copy of “Flowering Plants | from Cuban Gardens,” published by the Garden Section of the| Woman's Club of Havana from the Havana Club, and displayed it from the platform. Cun- niff had brought a copy from the Key West library and had already shown it to many dele- gates and to Mrs. Dale Hen-/ dryx, State Book Service Chair- | man. Hence it re’ ed double publicity. The District Directors fine reports, but that of George H. Newsome (District 6) was outstanding. Among the myriad activities of the 68 clubs in District 6 she mentioned the Key West 1952 Flower Show covered by the National Geo- graphic Magazine and the reha- bilitation of t d Key West Botanical Garde a =6Bird, Plant and Wild! ctuary.
