Last Saturday evening the first named
society met at the residence OF Guy
Chandler. 1t was the evening for the
usual bl monthly election. and nearly
all tine members being present. we pro-
ceeded to business and elected our
officers. Our society is growing both
in numbers and interest, and bid fair
to be permanent. We vii; not give our
program for the next meeting as it
may not be interesting to the various
readers of the Home Circle.
We have been talking in our neigh
borhood of trying to get up a club TO
send for seeds. both y. flowers a Id veg
etables; but it seems to be slow work
for everyone says oh. there's plenty of
time yet" So there. is If we send now:
bu, il they all wait month from now
before tine, decide, and then have to
select the seeds and send Tor them, the
prospect is that there will be chance
to wait after we are ready Tor them,
before they come. Some one suggests
that we make our selections and lei the
editress Of the Home Circle send for
us. do not see why big club might
not be raised in that way, and all send
ing at one time could get more seeds
for the same money than we could by |
alone. Say. Mrs Ed. will YOU
send for us?
Yes, | will send for anyone who
wishes me to do so. Send postal card
to James Vlck, Rochester, N. Y. tor a
catalogue to select seeds from. | will
leave my order open until March lst
All that desire to send can find ME at
tie GRAPHIC office at any time.-ED.l
