GARDEN CLUB PROVES BIG
SUCCESS IN ITS FIRST SEASON
Hundred and Three Children of the Town Respond Heartily
to Admirable Civic Movement-Many Prizes


for his or her own particular plot.
The seed was obtained in large part
from the Department of Agriculture
in Washington, through Senator Ball.
When the call came for applicants
into the Club, the committee found
themselves confronted with the prob
lem of supplying seeds to 2O3 chill
dren of the town. 1t was expected
that perhaps SO or more young people
would respond, but instead, they were
almost swamped by the eager anna
teur gardeners. Through Senator
\Ball and several merchants of the
town, sufficient seed was finally pro-
cured to start the kids off on their ad-
ventures with the shovel and trowel.
All through the summer the chill
dren worked diligently in their
farms" and some very fine displays
of flowers and vegetables greeted the
members Of the committee on their
frequent trips Of inspection.
The Garden Club is now an estab-
lished civic organization and is al
ready laying plans for an even better
showing next year. The efforts of

The Better Gardens" campaign
made the past season by the Civic
Committee of the Newark New Gen.
tury Club and carried to the boys and
girls of the town through the newly
formed Garden Club surpassed all ex-
pectations of those concerned and has
proven to be a great success.
This Committee decided that some
effort toward the improvement and
utilization of the many yards and
back lots of the town which have in
the past remained unused and in
many cases were unsightly should be
made in the hopes that the residents
would become interested in the civic
Improvement of the town. This idea
became reality last spring when the
tentative plans for a Garden Club
among the school children were drawn
up. Under the direction of Mrs. Geo.
L. Townsend, chairman of the COM
mittee, the children and parents were
approached in the matter and in a
number of cases gave their whole
hearted approval.
The gardens were to be divided into
two classes, flowers and vegetables,
and each child was held responsible
