The George Robert White Medal Of Honor Of The Massachusetts Horticultural Society For The Year 1921 Has Been Awarded To Mrs. Louisa Yeomans King (francis) In Recognition Of Her "services To Horticulture By Increasing The Love Of Plants And Gardens Among The Women Of Tiie United States. This Has Never Been Awarded To A Woman Before. (The editor considers that the news of this award to our dearly-loved Mrs. King will give more pleasure than any editorial that could be written, and therefore gives it the place of honor in the November BULLETIN.)' THE MAKING OF THE WEST It seems to me God took a part of Eden And purged it of the things that should not be. Then molded on it gentle hills and valleys And placed it by his own most wond'rous sea. He builded mountains, traced around them rivers, He sowed it with a lavish hand in grain: He touched it with the energy of Ajax And tinged it with the indolence of Spain. Ho conjured fruits and flowers into being And all his work was with perfection blest: He bathed it in his melted golden sunshine And so God made the Great Pacific West! The Orerland Monthly. By Kenneth A. Millican. News of Three Western Garden Clubs The Garden Clubs of Denver, Pasadena and Santa Barbara and Montecito, have assisted in making this the "Western Number" of the Bulletin. Their response to a request for help was most gratifying, and the editors regret that owing to lack of space many of the contributions had to be omitted. Denver Garden Club The author of the suggestion of the presentation from the Difficulties Garden Club Ok Denver, of an article on the difficulties Of of gardening in Colorado, met with a response from the Gardening members of the club...

How women changed the American landscape from planting war victory gardens to saving the redwoods, beautifying the highway to creating horticultural standards. In 1904, Elizabeth Price Martin founded the Garden Club of Philadelphia. In 1913, twelve garden clubs in the eastern and central United States signed an agreement to form the Garden Guild. The Garden Guild would later become the Garden Club of America (GCA), now celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2013. GCA is a volunteer nonprofit organization comprised of 200 member clubs and approximately 18,000 members throughout the country. Comprised of all women, GCA has emerged as a national leader in the fields of horticulture, conservation, and civic improvement. As an example, in 1930, GCA was a key force in preserving the redwood forests of California, helping to create national awareness for the need to preserve these forests, along with contributing funds to purchase land on which they stood. The Garden Club of America Grove and the virgin forest tract of Canoe Creek contain some of the finest specimens of the redwood forests. The Garden Club of America is a centennial celebration of strong women who nurtured the country, helped spread the good word of gardening, and continue to plant seeds of awareness.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Garden Club of America, 1917 The Guild of the Gardeners Full many gardeners work with me In my little patch of ground; And I welcome the buzz of each blundering bee As laden with pollen his road I see; From flower to flower he's found. Sir Toad and Sir Snake their castle make In the roots of my blossom there, And each doth his toll of the insects take, And each I cherish for blossom's sake, As we league in the Garden's care. A wood thrush dwells in my neighbour's tree, And sings us an evening song; A right good gardener, too, is he, Many a grub do his sharp eyes see And he feasts where the insects throng. Many the hours we spend at our ease, Busy with garden love, I and the birds and the buzzing bees, I and the flowers, I and the trees, Learning yet more and more. And will you enter the Gardener's Guild? 'Tis a Brotherhood mus be won. You must serve humbly at Nature's knees, Willing to learn what Nature please, At toil in the wind and sun. Oh, The Guild of the Gardeners! are you one? 'Tis under an ancient sign. 'Tis a League of the lovers of air and sun, And of God's fresh breeze, and of work well done, Thank God that its mark is mine. - Beulah H. J.
