Robert Moore showed a letter
on raising cucumbers for pickles.
The hills were four feet by six
apart, a large shovelful of
barn-yard manure and a hand
ful of super phosphate to each
hill and six vines allowed to
grow in each hill. He brought
each family of our society a
package of cucumber seed of
the variety grown by his
correspondent, for pickles.

In our walk, we found
the garden in order, various
plants up and doing well,
Grape-vines trimmed and tied
up, and the rose bushes mak-
ing a splendid growth

After a delightful day we
separated hoping to meet next
month at Longwood

The readers appointed for next
meeting Mary M. Miller and
Mary E. Gilpin
