Lulworth

July, 1931

On a rare June day, the second day of the
month, the members od the Horticultural Society
assembled at Glen Lauder, This was our first meeting
with Mr. & Mrs. Hurry, in the home they have
so restored and adjusted that it possesses a charm
all it's own. The situation, the beautiful views,
the harmony of surroundings, the home touch everywhere,
makes a picture that lingers long in memory.

The meeting was called to order by the
President, Henry Nichols. Lillie Stabler read a
short memorial to our Mrs. Massey. This was offered
by request.

The appointed readers gave us articles of
interest, Elza Thomas told us of new varieties in
the climbing rose collections, some of them important
additions to the rose family. Robert Miller
read from The Rural New Yorker, that paper of
authority, of the attempts and failures of raising
cauliflower, weather being a strong factor, He'also told of a pet butterfly, showing habits in
the life of these lovely creatures.

Lillie Stabler gave a volunteer article of
instructions on the chrysanthimum, this imperial
flower of Japan, which holds a place in every
flower lovers garden. Now Japan is getting new varieties from us.

FORETHOUGHT; -

Helen Farquhar, Forthought, gave good advice
for June gardening, and read information from the
much prized gardeners book "A thousand and three

members. Peas ready for the table, corn 32in. high

almost ready, fruits in season, strawberries,
gooseberries, currants, and flowers in perfection
and variety, with wintered apples in good condition.
