April,5,1927.
On October fifteenth, the Horticultural met at Edgewood-nothing more need really be said about what a delightful neeting we had-for to all of us Edgewood is synonimous with beautiful surround ings and gracious hospitality.
After luncheon the meeting was called to order by our President,Mr. Brooke. The Minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted as read.The selected articles were then called for. CousinHelen Hallowell read for Mr. A. G. Thomas an article on ferns by Dr. Stile of Millwakee. One bit of information well to remember, is that the Boston fern is the hardiest of house ferns.
Miss. Mary Brooke had her House-guest read for her an article which particularry appealed to us. It told of Main, Iowa, and Kentucky all havforbidden the unsightly Bill Boards being erected on their main highways.
Mrs. Shackleford, and Edgewood guest, form Kentucky gave us an old Kentucky receipt for cooking a ham... Soak for a day, put into a large lardcan, cover with water, put in six large winter apples, skin and all, one pound of brown sugar, three pods of red pepper; let steam for fourteen hours, skin and bake as always.
Forethought told us to keep fighting weeds, The way to propogate dogwood is to gather the red berries, mash, dry and plant, about one inch deep.
The assistant Secretary reported very fine displays-a very lovelu basket of flowers which Mrs. Hagerman, a guest brought, came in for it's share of admiration.
