Note two items which have been added to the agenda since the winter issue of the Quarterly Bulletin: (1) the Sunday tour of Barnard's Inn Farm, Polly Hill's garden and arboretum on the island of Martha's Vineyard - we will travel by ferry from Hyannis to Martha's Vineyard and spend the day exploring Polly's extensive collections of rhododendron species and hybrids, as well as other Ericaceae, dogwoods, magnolias and conifers, and (2) a panel discussion on judging and proposed changes in show classification, Friday afternoon following the speaker session.
