Riverton
August 1^st 1899

The Horicultural met at Riverton
the residence of Mrs. Katherine Janney
People were very late in assembling
and this has become such a fault of
the Society that the Assistant - Secretary
is instructed to call the attention of
the members to the general tardiness, and
to emphasize the fact that the hour of
meeting is 4.15

The hostess requested Chas. F. Brooke
to preside and after being called to order
the minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved.

First reader Mrs. Janney, had chosen a
timely article which gave the treatment found
efficacious at on of the experiment Stations
for killing the green worm. Pulverized resin
5 lbs. concentrated by 1 lb. Fish oil 1 pint.
Water 5 gals. Boil 2 hours. Stir in 16 gals
water and add 3 gals white wash and
1/4 lb Paris Green. this mixture is not more
deadly in its nature than many others
but it so adhesive that the worm
has no chance of escape.
