Elizabeth Ligon and Robert Miller for Nomminating Committee
gave the following report:

President: Buzzy Hussman
V. Pres: Alan F. Thomas
Secy: Helen N. Farquhar

There being no nominations from the floor, this

trim roses, clean rock gardens, plant artichokes,
asparagus, rhubarb, "Hot weather" lettuce and
"Patio" tomato, "Aristocrat" zucchini are recommended.

Then came a dissertation on planting root
vegetables in the "dark" of the moon, and top of
ground seeds in the "light" of the moon, and
