The Garden Club met with Mrs. Rufus King on Jan. 24, 1928.
The roll-call showed twenty-four members present. Members answered to their names by telling of interesting gardens they had seen in this country and abroad. Pictures of Hampton Court were passed around by Mrs. King and photographs of Mrs. Lipscomb's charming little garden in Greensboro were shown by Mrs. Tomlinson and a letter read from Mrs. Lipscomb which made us each want to make as home-like a garden as hers.
Mrs. G. W. Clarke reported a conference with Mr. Johnston, who papreciated the Club's interest in the grounds of the High School. Any help we can give will have to be deferred until after the report of the landscape-gardener for the school grounds.
Mrs. Tomlinson reported that the City had set aside an appropriation for the parking down the center of Jones St. and that Mr. Tillson had made plans for beautifying these plots. Mr. Tillson later presented these plans before the Club and at the close of the Meeting Mrs. Tomlinson and her Committee conferred with him.
By vote of the Club, the request of Mrs. V.A.J. Idol that on account of her health she might be axcused from attendance until Fall, was grant ed.
