Forethought gave seasonable advice
as to planting seeds trimming raspberry,
rose, and other shrubs, transplanting
perennials. When setting out
geraniums, take cuttings, keep them
growing and in Sept. pot for winter
blooming. Earth from old hot - bed with
sand and a little fertilizer is good for
potting them.

A few visited the garden and
saw spot where vegetables are expected
to appear some time in the
future Hearsay evidence was
preferred by most members.
Those who braved the cold gave
a good report.
