Brooke Grove, Lima beans and flowers
Charlie Hawthorne flowers

The minues were read and no objection
made to them. Henry Miller read an
article on raising roses by slips which was
approved by those who are most successful
in raising roses. In June or just after they
have blossomed is considered the best time
for taking slips. The second reader, Frances
Stabler, read an article on making lawns
which, it was thought, would succeed
without doubt, but, for most of us a slower
process would suit our means better.
Roger and Carrie Farquhar were appointed
readers for our next meeting.

The vote was taken for or against an
exhibition and resulted in 20 yeas 12 nays.
The time selected was the 22nd of Sept. and
it was further decided that it should be
held at the responsibility and expense of
this Society, and if the clubs and other
Societies and the neighborhood generally,
desire to exhibit articles we will be very glad
to receive them, but, we The Horticulture Society
of Sandy Spring, collectively and individually
are to take all the care and responsibility
and to us will be due the blame if it prove
a failure, and consequently the praise will
be ours if we succeed. May success crown our
efforts!
