One of the most active years in
the history of the five Gainesville
garden clubs may be expected in
1950-1951, judging from the sched-
ules outlined in their yearbooks
and their projects to date.
/ Requirements for a standard
garden club are an active organi-
zation, one flower show yearly,
one local pilgrimage yearly, sys-
tematic course of garden study,
presentation of at least one au-
thoritative speaker on garden
subjects of flower arrangement,
some kind of garden project, rep-
resentative at one state meeting.
‘ Already the garden clubs have
been represented at the state ex-
ecutive meeting at College Sta-
tion, and the District Two meet-
ing at Mineral Wells; one has
held its annual flower show, au-
thoritative guest speakers have
been invited here, and open house
is being planned by one club for
this week.
Outstanding on the calendar for
the coming season is the accep-
tance by clubs in District Two,
comprising several counties, to
meet in Gainesville next spring.
The meeting, tentatively set for
April 18, is the first to be held
here.
Garden Council
The Gainesville Council of Gar-
den clubs, organized last spring,
will sponsor the district conven-
tion. The council is another sign
of growth in the five local clubs,
all of whom are represented by
three delegates to the coopera-
tive organization.
Mrs. Sid Horn is president of
the council; Mrs. Curtis Gilliland,
vice president; Mrs. Joe Leon-
ard, Sr., recording secretary; Mrs.
Pat Parker, corresponding secre-
tary and treasurer; Mrs. J. E.
King, parliamentarian.
To date, the council has sug-
gested action in the following
courses, beautification of Camp
Sweeney, distribution of flower
seeds to school children, beautifi-
cation of the swimming pool at
Leonard park. These suggestions
were followed by the five garden
clubs.
On the agenda for 1950-1951,
suggested by the council, is the
beautification of the bath house
at Leonard park. The garden
clubs will also cooperate this win-
ter and spring in planting redbud
clumps by the Blue Star Memor-
ial highways. This action is spon-
sored by Texas Garden clubs,
Inc., and will be carried out over
the state. Gainesville is especially
Concerned, since North Highway
77 was dedicated two years ago
as a memorial highway.
