The convention, opening at 10 a.m. was high lighted during the morning session with greetings by Mrs. N. F. Walknetz mfyHuntington and the response by Mrs. Clarence D. Jones of Fort Wayne, district flower show fhairman. After the pledge of allegiance led by Mrs. N. A. Bixler of the Decatur club, the group was favored with a vocal solo by Mrs. William Feller. The main address of the morning session was given by the state president. Mrs. Earl T. Aiken of Elwood, who emphasized the current projects of the Garden clubs of the state of Indiana, namely the litterbug campaign, by which the clubs hope to rid the highways and parks of trash, the Clermont Girls school where the Garden clubs have donated a green house and employ a horticulture teacher and also provide a' scholarship for further study. Yhe garden of fragrance, at South Bend " incorporates therapy for the blintl, including specia tools for their use. There is also the wild flower sanctuary near Lafayette where all the native flowers of the state are being collected and grown in their natural surroundings. Mrs. Aiken closed her address with the thought that gardeningVs a privilege but that God is the\-eal artist in the gardens. After a luncheon which was served by the ladies of the Methodist church, the afternoon session was turned over to Prof. Norlan C. Henderson, a professor of biology at Huntington College, who showed colored slides and explained the habits and families of over 100 native flowers of Indiana. He deplored the fact tliat many are disappearing completely because of careless picking. He suggests never trying to transplant a wild flower unless its natural surroundings can be dupli-

cated. Indiana is the only stfite with a state flQWer not a native to the state, and that has no important part in its economy. The state flower is the ziftnia and it is a native of Mexico. A movement is now underway l to change it to one of the 1,000 flowers native to the state of Indiana. Short talks were given by Mrs. Thomas McKinney, state vicepresident, Mrs. George Baldus, state chairman of programs, and Mrs. R. B. Danley, state chairman of the National Gardener magazine.
