Mary Moore Miller recommended visiting the Mercer Museum in
Doylestown, Penn., where she had recently seen more than 70 sections
of interesting displays. There was also a delightful her garden
at Pennsburg Manor, recreated from the authentic papers of William
Penn. She also had a package of Ginkgo Tree nuts for any one who
cared to try them.

Lucy Manning wanted to know who had been to the Brooklyn Botanic
Gardens and where they were located? They are in Prospect Park and
Dale and Alan had visited them when they lived in Brooklyn years ago.

When visitng Clinton, New York, sometime ago, dale thomas had
seen some pink anemone, and wanted to know if they could be grown
in this area. Yes, because Bea Wilson has some right here.

Helen Bentley asked what was eating her Zinnia petals? It might
be rabbits. When do you plant Fall peas? About the first of Auguts.

Clive Lawrence has a viburnum bush that is splitting and dying.
Why should this be? There seem to be insects getting into the splits,
caused by last winter's freezing and thawing, so a thorough spraying
with DDT should improve the situation. He also wanted to know what
happened to the expected stump burning? Bea Wilson explained that
so far she couldn't get the necessary material from Bolgiano.

Buzz Hussman told us that the systemis for the Dutch Elm disease
which feeds in the vascular system of the trees, is not yet
ready for public distribution and consumption.

Wendy Lawrence wanted to know how Mary Moore Miller's Luffa
plants were growing? Several are growing and doing well.

Francis Thomas reminded us again of the beauty and size, and
the effort put forth into the Ligons' red and white potatoes. He
also remarked on the Wilsons' 2-panel chestnut rail fence and the
beautiful curved rails. Then he adjoruned the Society at 9:40 pm
to meet again in August with the Goffs at Mt. Pleasant.
