extracts from a most interesting
book on Herbs & their uses _
It would seem there had recently
been a renaisance now found
growing in many gardens with
the government issuing a
bulletin about them.
The article recalled to the minds
of some of the members the use
in their earlier years of the brews
that were theior household remedies
& given freely as such.

The question was asked as
to what was curry powder &
no one could tell more thsan it was
a condiment much used in
India; so Elza Thomas was
to find out more about it & tell
us next time.

William Bancroft's volunteer reading told us
of the experiments that are being
made in the raising of dahlias
finding those that will flourish
best in different soils & climates,
& dividing them into various
types as to size, color, etc.
