We are advised to plant more of every
kind than ever before, and fight weeds
vigoroursly. In the flower garden [Shrubbery?]
that has bloomed should be pruned,
the bed should be worked
and if any plants have to be moved
it should be done now and seeds may
be planted. Let out Dahlias, Cannas
etc. In all our papers we are advised
to live simply and economically

Forethoughts advised that we do not
have expensive meats at our supper
but have some of the various savory
sandwichs and simpler relishes"

This advise was highly approved and
a committee appointed to consider the
subject of "Eats"
