and confinement at home has been
made much easierby the thoughts

the staff at Early Memorial and
the tireless efforts by Dr. Giles

than I can express. Thank you
all.

the Blakely Garden Club for
September. Their selection was
based on general appearance,
over-all attractiveness and neat
ness.
This is the second time the
Richardson’s yard has received
the coveted honor of having the
Garden of the Month plaque placed
in their yard. Sponsored by the
Blakely Garden Club, definite
rules and scores have been set
up by the Garden of the Month
committee, which have been en
dorsed by all members of the club.
A different selection committee
serves each month, named at the
beginning of the fiscal year.
After narrowing the candidates
down to only a few, the committee
used a score card; the points
are tallied according to: gene
ral appearances, condition and
care of the lawn, arrangement
and landscaping of shrubs, trees
and walks, design of flowerbeds,
walks and ornaments, kind of
background, recreation and play
area, grills, accessibility to and
appearances of living quarters
and screening of out-buildings,
clothes lines, fuel and garbage.
The contemporary brick home,
with white blinds and white trim,
has boxwood in the beds across
the front; on either side of the
front entrance the boxwood, three
plants deep, are rounded at the
top; in front of the carport the
shrubbery is kept clipped close,
forming a low square shaped
hedge-
Many of the flowers, shrubs,
bulbs and trees throughout the
yard were given to Mrs. Richard
son by her mother, Mrs. Edward
Brantley of Banks, Alabama, who
is an avid gardener, and by neigh
bors and friends who shared their
plants with her. It is Mrs. Rich
ardson's delight to cite these
plants and relate who contributed
them for her attractive yard.

meet at the home of Mrs. A EX
