August, 6th. 1929.

The July meetingof the Horticultural Society was
held at Brooke Grove. The president, Harry Stabler
called the meeting to order at the appointed time,
with a large attendance of members and several
guests present. The usual order of business followed.
The first appointed reader, Bessie Stabler,
departed somewhat from the hows and whys of horticulture,
and read several articles of timely advice
and interest. We must learn the story of progress
in all things, domestic& religious, Writers show us
that the young people of today are typified by high
character, and constructive thought.

Mary Brooke, the second reader gave us the pedigrees
of our most used vegetables, and Miss. Mary
Gilpin read a most interesting volunteer article.

Forethought told us when to cut, and how to care
for cut flowers. Always cut, never break flowers
for decoration.

Lillie Stabler the Assistant Secretary, gave account
of a fine showing of exhibits. The Highlands
showed apples coming and going, and Roseneath had
a real tomato, sound and good all over, which for
July was unusual. Every home showed groups of interest,
and flowers bloomed all around.

The committee appointed to arrange an exhibit this
year, had no report, but Anna Farquhar, chairman,
asked the committe to be retained.

The report from the Community Council was read,
and help asked for by suggestions from the various
Societies on where to provide a public dump, and
regulations regarding parking at Roadside Markets.
No helpful suggestions were made, but appreciation
of the work of the Council was expressed.
