SThe beauty of a town ismeasured not alone by the excellence of ýits architecture. Wide, well arranged stetimpressive dwellings, mas- sive churches,. and perhaps a wat er front, mean little unless, these are supported and beautified With properly cared for plantings. The real beauty of a town comes fromwell cared for trees, beautiful parks *a nd, home grounds that reflecÉt..a civic pride on the part of the homne owner. No one person nor group of per-, sons working-alone tani really produce a beautif nI town. The park board can accomplish wonders ini a.park system provided it is also giiven civic support and cooperation. But mnuch effort in the parks may be lost if the private plantings are neglected a nd shabby. Therefore, each individual has a defi- nite responsibility in' town beautifi- cation, not only in aiding and abetting the park board, but ini seeing to it that his own grounds are planted and cared for in such a manner that they will add to, and not detract froni, the beauty of the town as a whole. In every community there are a HARDY PIUENNIALS (Many varieties as low as tep cents each) Delphianiumi -Colambine Canterbury. Relle - Veronica Oriental Poppies - Ceduna C. Painted Daisies - Hardy LD Platycodon - Carnations SShasta Dasis - Violai Hans and Chicloens their interest to probiems aefinitely affecting only their own niembers. As a result they arc of littie assistance to their park board or the. much greater number of home oWners. who, foi various reasons, cannot become, me mbers of: a.garden, club. Centeir Excellent Melinin The north shore ls especially'for- tunate in the extent and influence of its -garden,.clubs. The spirit' of co- operation between 'the individual clubs is very ýmarked, reaching its. fullest expression in the North;Shore Garden Center, w'ith headquarters: in Winnetka. Cornrnnity Flouse. Here the various clubs hold comnion meet- ings. every Tuesday morning at. 10 o'clock.. The feature.of each meeting is an. address by an authority on some timely topic of mutual interest. Speci- me ns of current shrubs and flowers are always exchibited. Lîsts of sur- Plus plant material from thorth shore gardens are posted on the bulletin board f rom whith on~e nlay hoose something to 611l in a vacant spot in the garden. Current magazines are there to be consulted, and a small hl- brary of garden books. A librarian is always on hand to answer questi ons on horticultuare and help with the garden- problems. Free to Public These meetings are free to the public and every garden lover is wel-. corne and cordially invited to corne. This. seems a wonderful Ôpportunity for everyone to ga tler information upon garden question~s such as is sel- dom available in other commurtities. Such a democratic spirit as is offered by. the North Shore Garden Center warrants the support and cooperation of every home owner and garden lover along the north shore.
