Riverton
Aug. 6th, 1918

Hot, hotter, hottest was the 6th of Aug-
ust 1918, when the Horticultural met
at Riverton.

Although the dear Horticultual
Society boasts of long lived members, there
were many of us who could never
remember such heat as we experienced.
those days of early August, so owing
to the weather, we had a smaller
meeting of members, but as there were
about twenty guests, the gathering
seemed the usual size.

Our punctual Pres. called the meeting
to oder on time, the minutes of the
last meeting were read & after a
slight correction, were adopted.

Anna Farquhar was the first reader,
& she told us in her article on the
growing of beans "the very early
varieties can be planted as late as
the middle of August. The
ground rarely gets too dry for
planting them.
