1885 Falling Green Noon Tem. 56°

April 7th 1885

The first-meeting for the year was held
at Falling Green on the 7th of April
Every family was represented except
that from White Hall. Our guests were
Rebecca Thomas, Granville and Patty
Farquhar.

This being the meeting for electing
new officers, the society was given
the opportunity to make a change
but no change was made. The
President in his opening remarks
considered that we have cause for
gratitude that our society in its
23rd year, should have lost so few
of its members, and that all seem
so interested in the subjects introduced
at each meeting and in the
improvement of our gardens.

The winter just gone, or just
not quite gone has been a hard
one on roses; many members had
their bushes killed to the ground
and some lost some of their
house plants.

Henry Miller tried to have lillies
of the valley in the house but they
did not bloom. Some discussion
arose as to whether they were bulbous
rooted and so many knew
