The Horticultural met at The Cedars
on July 4th. The Exhibit was an excellent one
and the attendance was good. The absent

and Riverside, and the guests were Mary
H. Miller, Mrs Parsons, Carrie Stabler, Ellen
Stabler Emily Massey, Mrs. Harry Gilpin
Marcia Libbey, Rebecca T. Miller, Lillie Williams
Henry and Isabel Farquhar.

After the reading of the minutes,
A G Thomas called the attention of the Society
to one of the questions of the day,
that of Roads, by reading an admirable
article on the subject. Mary S. Hallowell
and Dr. Kirk were appointed readers
for the next meeting which was announced
as belonging to Cloverley. By request
those who had recently returned from
the World's Fair told something of their
trips. Eliza N. Moore spoke of the Rose
garden in which she saw 50,000 rose
bushes in full bloom; of the Japanese
exhibit of dwarf plants, of the Water
plants in and near the Lagoon, and of
