Cleremont - May 3, 1938 -
A very full attendance of members
& some guests gathered at Clermont
for the May meeting of the Horticultural.
Minutes of the last meeting were adopted
as read.
Richard P. Iddings selected article
was from the Communicator & told of
a trip up the coast of California thru
some of the thousands of acres of
flowers planted for seed, many
of which are distributed by the
large seed houses here in the East.
He also read from "The Universal
Recipe Book," (given to his grand
mother in 1818) some of the recipes
there in given & while some might
prove helpful even to-day, we are
sure no one could give 1 1/2 hrs. constant
beating to the making of a cake as so
advised in this old book.
Emeleen Hill, in lieu of a reading,
told of a trip she took two years
ago along the Gulf of Bothnia &
up through Scandinavia, describing
especially the wonderful growth
of evergreen forests that so impressed her.
Forethought had no suggestions
to give us, but read of this
work of a week-end gardener
