Falling Green Sept. 5 1939
H/9/1939-1-

Our September meeting was
at Falling Green. Many of
us
remember the days when
Cousin Charlie and Annie and
Cousin Eliza Brooke welcomed
the Horticultural and now
we have our cordial hostesses
Mary Brooke & Edith Green to carry on.

After the minutes were accepted,
Lena Stabler read about
the little Bulbs of Spring. These
are to be planted in the Fall
so this is an appropriate time
to plan for them. Put
bone meal under each bulb
in fertile well drained soil.
The term "drift" used
constantly for clusters or
branches of blooms is very
descriptive. Crocus, grape
hyacinth, "drifts" of {syllas?]
& star of Bethlehem. Hyacinth
Roman types are effective in
the Spring border. Soil of compost
is good! Humus, fallen
leaves, (Burning leaves is like
firing dollar bills), commercial
fertilizer & lawn
clippings. Lime hastens
decomposition. Fork or spade
over. Poultry manure is also
good. Lena read also
