Club members were reminded of the Convention of Garden Clubs to be held at Myr- • tie Beach in April. Program chairman was Mrs. J. L. McCord who presented a program on “Gardening In Shade”. Mrs. McCord set the tone of her presentation with an opening statement, “Shade in the garden can be a source of both pleasure and problems.” She then set forth methods that can be used in overcoming the problems to make the shaded areas in gardens areas of out standing beauty. A number of plants, Rosebay Rhododendron, Catawba Rhododendron, Maple leaved Viburnum, Woodland Ferns, Azaleas, Auculia, Arbe- lias, and Drarf-arbelias, were mentioned for their effective ness in shaded gardens. Par ticular attention was directec to the use of beautiful Eastern Mountain' Laurel. Caution was given to use nursery stock as this is more satisfactory than wild plants. Shade loving ground lovers such as Ajugras, Violets, Lily- Of-The-Valley, Vinea or self branching English Ivy can save hours of gardening when used and controlled properly. Mrs. McCord mentioned many other plants, shrubs, and grass that fare well in limited sun light. She closed with the re minder that “nothing will grow under a Norway Maple or beech.” This was the final program of the current Club Year. Retiring President Mrs. John E. Smith, Sr. expressed her appreciation for the cooperation she has re ceived throughout the year. The door prize, a Peace Rose bush, was won by Mrs. J. H. Holcombe.
