The first meeting for the year was
held out of the regular timeowing to the death
of a former member. We were most happy to welcome
our President - after his long illnes. In his opening
remarks he again urged us all to bring specimen
of some kind to every meeting. He gave the Society
a chance to change its officers, but it allowed
the golden opportunity to pass by
and must now go on in the same old way
for another summer. Every family was represented
at this meeting and our guests were
Johnathan and Emma Taylor of Baltimore
Mary Stabler of Alexandria, Mary Showmaker of Germantown,
Albina Stabler, Sarah Stabler, Mariana
Stabler and Kate Janney.

Society were called for. In response, a member
handed in a proposition, in writing, which will
discussed at the next meeting, for the host
or a member of his family to prepare a short
essay on some Hoticultural sunject,
