Bettes Hartge needs apiarist Gordy Allen-Wardell's phone number to arrange
bee hives to be put in at Riverside. Her second question regarded the
optimum distance between bluebird houses. Some say 85 yards. Others say
put lots of houses in and let the birds figure it out.

Ellen Hartge asked about gypsy moth traps. Yes they really work. However,
the Extension Service doesn't reccommend because they attract and bring
in moths from far away thus increasing your woes and diminishing your
neighbor's.

Mo Chance has a neighbor with a 5-year old wisteria that has not
blossomed. Wisteria said to take anywhere fro 5 to 10 years for wisteria
to flower.

As mentioned several times earlier the hour was late and the assembly that
wasn't dozing off was pawing to get home. We thanked the Hanels for their
hospitality, bid them improved health, and congratulations on the approaching
wedding of their daughter Selma. We agreed next to me at Rose Hill, home
of the Rogers at which time Tom Canby will be the assigned reader.

with apologia for erata,

Peter Austin

Secretary/Treasurer
