LULWORTH,
October 9th, 1928

The September meeting of the Horticultural
Society, held at The Highlands, Sept. 4th,
was a full meeting of members, some guests being
asked to enjoy the afternoon with us.

The Chairman called the meeting to order
at the appointed time. The minutes were read and
adopted as written.

READERS.
The first appointed reader, Mary Brooke,
read from Farm and Fireside two articles of interest;-
"Saving of Seed", told us many points to be
considered. For pure seed plant apart from other
plants, pick when dry (to avoid mildew), mark each
years seed carefully, and after drying throughly

the planting of old fashioned annuals, petunias
and geraniums both being of easy culture, and
give a wealth of bloom. As a house plant nothing
excels a geranium. This plant is native of the
table-lands of Africa, and is grown all over the
world in it's many varities.

Helen Hallowell read from The National
Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild magazine. In the
Washington Cathedreal Close, in Bishop Harding's
Memorial Garden are to be found treasures of trees,
shrubs and plants. Two majestic cedars of Lebanom
transplanted from far accross the Seas, a memorial
from The Garden clubs of America. Magnificent
Box bushes found by Mrs. Walter Tuckerman on a
memorial grant near Harper's Ferry. These bushes
must be two hundred and fifty years old, they are
of a dwarf variety, being only ten feet tall, but
covering a space of twenty-five feet. The All-Hallows
Guild also secured old stones and rocks
