7 Is this a good time to put lime on the lawn? Yes
8 Will the seed of "Country Gentleman" corn, bought
last year, be good to plant this year? Better not use
9 Will it do to trim blackberries when in bloom
It will be better to wait until the fruiting is over
10 Will it do put duck and hen eggs in the
same incubator? No, the duck eggs require
more moisture.
11 Is it too early to plant Lima beans? Some
members have planted, but the ground is
cold and one who planted four weeks ago
says they are just coming up.
12 Is it too late to plant Spinach? No, not too late
Swiss chard is also a fine summer "greens"
13 Should an old kale bed be left for further
use? No, plant a new bed in early fall.
14 Will it pay to move the plants of asparagus
bed five or six years old? Opinions differ
15 Should the young plants which come up in an
asparagus bed be allowed to grow? Decidedly not

Roger Farquhar brought some pea vines
and asked why they were so feeble and shriveled?
others had the same trouble and knew not
the cause nor a remedy.

In our walk we found good order and
neatness in the lawn, and the early things growing
in the garden in spite of the cold, and in the
flower garden the vigor of the rose bushes was
admired.

Next meeting to be at Alloway -
