TANGLEWOOD,
May 3rd, 1932

Brooke Grove was the Mecca to which the
members of the Horticultural journeyed for our
first meeting in 1932/ As always our welcome was
one of graciuosness and cheer, the old sycamore
standing gaurd over the home that has sheltered
so many generations of the Brooke family, shone
in all its glory this sunny April day. Many
members and many guests assembled after luncheon
in the sunny rooms. The meeting was called to order
by its Presdient, Henry J. Nichols. The minutes
at the October meeting at Cloverly were read, with
the report of weather conditions and exhibits for
the season 1931. Edith Green the forst appointed
reader chose an article, "The quest for Happiness"
which told us happiness was to be found at home
in the flower border, the blooming of a fruit tree
the wholesome work of gardening all could bring
us happiness and contentment. Mary Stabler the
other appointed reader gave advice on treatment
of boxwood, with a spray of Rosin. She also told us
of Phlox to be bought in harmony of color.

Richard Iddings read a clipping telling of
a freakish Elm tree that grew when planted up-side
down.

Mary Newton Stabler read a letter from
Rebecca Miller telling of a terrific Sand Storm
she had experienced in Texas.

Forethought gave us much wholesome thought
for April.

Mary Magruder told of putting old window
screens over newly sown seed in her flower garden.

of the season, seedlings from Tanglewood, blooms
