the Stantons, and
back into our fold, whom we have sorely missed,
Andrew and Roberta Adams. Andrew Junior is now a
weightly member of the Ten Oaks family. It was
also a great pleasure at this meeting to have
another honorary member with us, Clarence Hurrey.

Forthwith the President appointed him to
represent The Horticultural as consulting historian
on the Sandy Spring Annals Committee. Frederic
Thomas was named as alternate.

Excellent wit and humor were displayed in the
really handsome though "scentless" rivalry between
some Glen Lauder garlic and skunk cabbage. The
other exhibits listed by Lillie Stabler consisted
of the graceful Glen Lauder pussywillows, the
charming French cart of posies from Tanglewood,
bright jonquils from The Highlands, blooming crocus
plants from Millwood, and pansy plants from Ten
Oaks, both later gifts being gratefully received by the
hostess. Equally admired was the box of fine, fat,
winter-kept vegetables from Tanglewood - sleek
parsnips, potatoes, onions, turnips, rutabagas,
salsify, carrots and parsley.

The motion was passed that we meet in alphabetical
order accoridng to the names of the places. The
host and hostess are to arrange for any exchange.

Mr. Stanton told how the rubber business is
being restarted in Singapore by the British Colonial
office.

Upon adjournment, we ate our delicious supper
in the Alloway basement playroom, and the initial
meeting in 1947 became history.
