Woodburn
Aug 3^rd 1897 noon 85°

The Horticultural found Woodburn
looking its best on this beautiful afternoon
and the unexpected presence of
our President compensated in part for
the absence of the members from Hillcrest
Knowlton, Riverton and Tanglewood

John C. Bentley presided at the Presidents
request. After the reading of the
minutes Dr. Kirk read an article recommending
using turkey-hens as incubators. C. F.
Kirk not being present, Dr. Kirk acted as
his substitute by reading suggestions for
the treatment of chickens with gapes.

The Forethought made appropriate
suggestions after which the assistant
secretary Lillie B. Stabler read the list of
specimens

Avalon, flowers
Woodburn, raspberries, salsify, pie-plant
The Cedars, flowers, cabbage tomatoes
potatoes and wine-berries
Fair Hill, flowers
Hermon, flowers, a cabbage potaotes
tomatoes, onions and cymblings
