H/5/1937 -1-

Edgewood. 5-4-1937

The 4th of May was the loveliest
spring day so far this year, so
it was a most appropriate one for
the meeting of the Horticultural at
Edgewood.

The minutes of last meeting were
adopted with one or two minor
changes.

Eliza B. Thomas being absent
[?] Nesbitt told by her request
some thing of the wild flowers
in California & his description
of their weather & beauty made
us long more than ever to
see for ourselves that of which
most of us present had only heard.

This rainy season there stores
up the moisture that makes
even the desert blossom & a
visit to the Mohave in April
finds the hundreds of acres a
blaze of color, later on to become
almost a barren waste.

Alice Farquhar the other
reader had beft before the
last meeting had concluded
& so had not heard her appointment.
