H.H. Miller read a letter from Mr
Kerr

growing a succession of ten varieties
of pears which he considers fit
for the climate and other conditions
of Monthomery and also a list of
plums. Henry Miller had fine specimen
of Le Conte pear which he had raised
Does any member have success in raising
Wild goose plums? Yes several

The experiment of putting bags of
salt in the crotches of quince trees seems
to have produced a good crop of salt spread
on the ground around the tree in April
would have the desired effect.

On our walk we visited the poultry
Many chickens and a beautiful
flock of over fifty turkies. The Flower
garden had many flowers blooming.
The vegetable garden was full
of vegetables and a thrifty melon
patch had many good melons, which
tho' later, our host thought would give
much satisfaction.

The next place of meeting
to be Rock Spring
