H/7/1951-2.

Rebecca Small gave the members many things to
work on in their gardens if they followed her advice
in her Forethought report. Some were; snip off
the dead polyanthus blooms to keep the flowers
coming all summer, sew biennials now, prune wisteria
hard, cultivate and fertilize rhubarb and
asparagras and prune the climbing roses. Her poem
for the month was "The Use of Flowers".

The meteorologist, EdwardIddings, gave the report
that there had been the unusual amount of 11 35/100
inches of rain in June and that the average temperature
had been 69 1/2 %.

Lofton Wesley suggested that the secretary send
messages to Elza Thomas and Clarence Hurrey, the
two members who were unable to attend because of
ill health.

The August meeting will be held at the South
Highlands, the readers being Jack Bentley and
Rebecca Small.

The meeting adjourned for the members to enjoy
friendly conversation and the delicious supper served
at tables on the lawn.

Respectfully,

Sylvia B. Woodward

Sec.
