H/9/1886 -1-

Alloway

Sept. 28th 1886

noon Temp. 86º to 92º

This meeting was to have been held
at Brook Grove but owing to sickness in the
family, Alloway came to the rescue and
received the society tho' the head of the house
was in Minneapolis.

It is never too hot nor too cold
nor too stormy to go to Alloway. The
noon temperature on this day, at some places,
was 92º.

Our president, in remarking on
the recent Exhibition, says it was decidedly
a success, especially in the culinary
department and in fancy work. He wishes
any one who noticed anything amis in
the management or arrangements to report
it that it may be remedied.

Our specimens were good but
only a few members contributed. From
Rockland egg-plant, tomatoes, sweet
corn, parsnips, salsify cabbage okra, Lima
beans, peppers, celery, and flowers.

The Cedars, flowers.

Edgewood sweet potatoes and flowers

Riverside sekel pears, beets, parsnips
carrots, tubers from the Japanese yam,
the "Beautiful cinnamon vine" of the catalogues
for distribution and flowers

Rock Spring flowers and Hollyhock
