H/4/1899 -1-

Edgewood
April 10th 1899- Moon 46°

The members of the Horticultural
had the satisfaction which has been
rare lately, of a ride in the sunshine
before meeting for the first time in 1899.
The year which has already proved
a record breaker. Mary M. Stabler
read an article containing several
recipes for destroying insects injurious
to plants. Robert H. Miller read one
on mushroom Culture which made it
appear a desirable crop to grow and less
difficult than often supposed.

The poultry report was as follows.
Alloway 60 chickens
Avalon 3
Brooke Grove 64
Cloverley about 20
Edgewood 78
Falling Green 16
Hermon 20
Norwood 40
Rockland 24
Rock Spring 27
Total 288
