OVERLOOK,

July 1st. 1930

"What is so rare as a day in June
If ever comes the perfect day,
When Heaven ties earth, if it be in twain
And over it gently its soft air lay."

Just such a day The Horticultural met
at Tanglewood with Frederic and Elza Thomas. Almost
all of the members were with us, our new
friends and members, Mr. & Mrs. Hurry were welcomed
to our membership.

Since the last meeting our valued member
Mrs. Hagerman had been called to the Great Beyond.
By request a memorial was prepared and read by
MarymReading Nichols. Cousin Charlie Brooke suggested
this tribute be spread upon the minutes,
and a copy be sent Mr. Hagerman and his family.
The Secretary was insturcted to do this.

The readers for the meeting were Helen
Nesbit Farqujar and Mary Reading Nichols. Helen
read a most entertaining discription of the
Magnolia Gargens of Charleston S.C., and Mary
Reading told of the Historic trees of Washington
D.C.. their origin and significance. Both
articles were instructive and full of charm.

Anna Farquhar, our Forethought gave us
information, suggestionsfor planting and pruning,
when and how, and reminded us of the beauties of
June that lie around us as we pass along. Flowers
require love to make them grow and flourish.

Our Poultry report of this season was
3746, exceeding that of 1929 by 1548. no poultry
other than chickens, was reported this year.

The Assistant Secretary, Mary Brooke,
