This is to be held on the grounds opposite the Chicago, Milwaukee. and North Shore Electric station at' \Vilmette avenue. The money raised is to be used in beautifying Witmette. We a.re desirous of raising as much money as possible and can only do so by the aid of those who will furnish plants .and flowers. The Wilmette Garden club committee, headed by Mrs. E. E. Moore, has heen working out a plan which is sure to succeed. \Vill you kindly help us by purchasing your plants from us? On Friday, May 20, Mrs. Carl Miner of Glencoe will be the guest of the club. She will build a rock garden at the home of Mrs. John F. Weedon,. 204 Fifth st,r eet, to demonstrate the secrets of plant growing among the rocks. After the demonstration, the club will go in a body to the home of Mrs. C. N. Hurlbut, 715 Greenleaf avenue, where Mrs. Miner will give an illustrated lecture on "A Rock Garden." Tuesday, May 24, is to be our first opportunity to contribute flowers to the sick and needy of Chicago. Will you try and acquire the habit of sendin,g in flowers to the North Western station every Tuesday m or n in g throughout the summer. Flowers are acceptable every day, but Tuesdays are set aside for the people of Witmette to see that these people who have so little in life shall at least share part of our great privilege of living in the midst of sunshine and flowers.
