I

The 810 th Meeting of the Enterprise Club met with Milton Bancroft at Norwood on Friday, June 16, 1933. Our walk took us to the barn and the gardens. The vegestable garden was in beutiful order and most things well advanced for this backward season. The flower garden with its dubble row of box, which is among the finest in the State, was much admired while the grapes showed such promice that someone said we should come back when they were ripe.

After a delicious supper and a pleasant social interval W ^m Moore called the meeting to order and both sets of minutes were read. Dr. Ladson, Mr. Leeds and M. O. Stabler were guests while C. L. Gilpin was the only member absent. This being the time to elect officers the Club reelected W^m Moore president and Osborn Stabler secratary. Albert Stabler

was appointed to collect the secratary's pay.

When most of the members and guests had gathered we started on a motor tour of our host's orchards. Rust has about 7000 trees and while we did not see all of them he seems to have a good set of fruit and has had to do some thinning. He has been very successful in getting a set of clover in his orchards by seeding with oats.

When we again reached our hosts beutifully kept home a delicious supper was ready and we all did it full justice.
