School oj Horticulture ELIZABETH POWELL RIDGWAY Mickleton, New Jersey “Betty” Betty graduated from Philadelphia High School for Girls in June, 1927. Then came hard work at the School of Horticulture in September. Her principal interest is the growing of native plants requiring acid soil. She reigns supreme over a section in the WoodLand Path and even delves into bog plants whose tastes are acid. She hopes to be a consultant horticulturist. PENELOPE ROBERTS 137 West Twelfth Street New York City “Penny” Penny left Berkley Institute, New York City, to come to us. She is intensely interested in Landscape design and wishes to work with a Landscape firm. CLARA J. SIMENDINGER 144 Meadow Lane New Rochelle, New York “Rosebud” “Rosebud” graduated from the New Rochelle High School in June, 1927.

I Vise-Acres ROSALIND VAN REWEN LINSON Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey In 1927 Westhampton College, University of Richmond, handed Rosalind her sheepskin. The passing motorist is apt to have the rare privilege of seeing Rosalind and her companion mud turtle wading around a so-called water garden or massaging a cow. Native plants in the Woodland Path have a fascination for her. After graduation she desires a situation with a firm of landscape architects—“I don’t care what or how,” says she! LUCILE ELIZABETH PORTER Alma, Nebraska “Lucile” Alma High School, experience as a bookkeeper and work in the School of Horticulture have made our “Lucile” a meticulous botanist and horticulturalist. There is no inch of space —no plant in the Rock Garden whose pedigree is unknown to her. Her interest in growing novelty annuals and perennials is also keen. She chooses that enticing work, and the making of planting plans and the after care of gardens. CLARA ELIZABETH REED Cortland, New York “Clarie” Clara graduated from Cortland High School and came here to improve her technique. She has accomplished a colossal piece of work in her Iris classification. She cared for her bulbs assiduously and there is little concerning propagation of perennials that she does not know. She is deeply interested in Commercial Floriculture and desires to have her own nursery and greenhouse. m 12»
