A former Iowa farm and small
town woman who says she is
trying to adjust to life in a city
apartment, writes to tell how to
keep the birds around the house
all year long.
She says squash. cantaloupe
and melon seeds should be saved,
dried and put out for the birds.
Cardinals particularly like them
Suet is relished by woodpeck-
ers, chickadees and nuthatches,
she writes. They also go for
stale. greasy doughnuts and but
tered popcorn, and. she says. it
is worthwhile seeing the birds
attack an ear OF corn that has
been hung to the clothesline.
And, she writes. don't forget
that birds need water. During
the winter. or during a long
summer dry spell, they will APP
preciate it.
And, anyway, there isn't any,
thing nicer than watching birds
at a bird bath during hot
weather.

there will be at least rs flower
shows In this area. They will be
held in church Easements. school
gymnasiums. stores. clubs-any
place available. During the
height of the spring season there
will be two or three flower shows
a day. The League endeavors to
maintain a calendar of these
events. The few judges qualified
to Judge these shows are over
worked. A garden center would
provide class facilities to train
judges.
The growth in interest in gar
dening in the National Capital
area is only part of a like trend
all over the country. The estab-
lishment Of a Garden Center in
the District of Columbia is a
worthy goal. Far seeing members
of the National Capital Garden
Club League have dedicated
themselves to it.

which will be put In by league
members at the Washington
Home for Incurables on April "a.
While the league functions
as the co-ordinating agency of
this area, the need for a physi-
cal focal point is we'll recognized.
With members scattered all over
Fairfax. Arlington and Alex
andria Counties in Virginia,
throughout the District. and in
Prince Georges and Montgomery
Counties in Maryland. the league
badly needs some central place
from which to function.
In the last % years Sc of the
large cities of the United States
have established garden centers.
In some cities, such as st. Louis
and New York. the Botanical
Gardens serve as garden centerS
for the area. In other cities a
specific garden center has been
built for the purpose of serving
the gardening public. Cleveland
has such a center. Some centers
are established by q group OF
interested individuals. some re-
ceive municipal aid. Others are
given the ground and buildings.
First Detectives
A garden center should be edu-
cational and -profit-making.
but 1t must be financially secure.
1t should provide a library, con-
sultation service, Office space
meeting space. and If large
enough. a place for flower shows.
1T should provide grounds for
rock gardens. rose gardens, shady
gardens, perennial gardens and
possibly experimental plots. 1t
might we'll provide a wild flower
garden in which people could
learn to know and recognize
local native plants which are in
danger of extinction and in need
of protection, similar to the wild
flower meadow at the New York
Botanical Gardens. The chill
dren's vegetable garden program
of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
has been a conspicuous success.

education.
