Edgewood April 17th 1869

The opening meeting of the Horticultural
Society was held at Edgewood on the 17th of
April 1869. Nearly all the members were present
and it was an exceedingly satisfactory meeting
with two exceptions. The first was the resignation
of our secretary and the second was a mistake
made in the selection of a person to fill her place.
Charlie and Annie Brooke sent in their resignation
which was accepted with regret. we hope they will
still feel inclined to join our meetings sometimes
when we will make them heartily welcome.

Anna Moore requested to enter the society as
a member and was accepted.

The specimens were good and the dis
play of flowers beautiful and made it hard
to realize that the ground was white with
snow one week before. The garden and yard
proved that our host and hostess were far
ahead of some of the members. The chickens
were in a flourishing condition. Number of
young ones fifty-three. Their education was not
far enough advanced for them to come when
called so we only saw them in detachments

We admired a lemon tree in full
