A patch of moss in a flower
garden indicates acid condition. Lime
& fertilizer will help correct it.

It was really discouraging to
the one asking how to raise gourds
to hear that it was said only
fools could do it, but we think we
will find there are exceptions to that rule
if she plants the seed in rich soil.

If climbing roses are liable to
be badly winter-killed, they can
be taken off their trellis & laid
on the ground & protected.

Margaret C. Bancroft recommended
to garden[?] a book by
Gertrude Jekyl called "Love of
Gardening, & other books suggested were
"Garden for an Ignoramus" by
Mary Rush, "Garden Making and
Keeping" by Dr. Findley & the "Gardener's Digest".

The secretary was asked to send
a message of sympathy to Mrs. Hurry who could
not be with us owing to illness.

Readers for next meeting -
Margaret Bancroft, & something
from Fred & Eliza Thomas about
their trip.
