Alloway
April 1950
April showed a balmy spring nature to welcome
all the Sandy Spring Horticulturalers back to the first
meeting of the season with Wesleys at Alloway.

President Fred McReynolds called the meeting to order

Fred McReynolds was kept in him position as president
by unanimous vote. Lofton Wesley was made Vice President.

associate members and instructed the sectary to write

use lime freely on lilaces and clematis.

assistant to Clarence Hurrey.
