The Horticultural Society held its June
meeting at "Hermon," with DIR. and Mrs.
William E. Magruder. The display of fiow-
ers and vegetables brought by members
was exceptionally fine for the season. and.
as usual. the gardens of host and hostess
received the highest praise for quantity and
quality OF contents. A very amusing and
original essay upon Gardening was con-
tributed by Henry II. Miller of ''Stanmore"
The association adjourned to ''Tanglewood,"
the home of Alban G. Thomas. in July.
The closing exercises of Sherwood School
on the morning Of June were witnessed by
a goodly assembly of parents and guar
dams. who were apparently much gratifed
with the whole proceedings. The essays.
recitations and songs were creditable to
both teachers and pupils. and Caroline III.
Miller. in a pleasant little address, con-
graduated Sandy Spring generally upon
the possession Of Sherwood as a source OF
wise and beneficent influence upon our COM
ing men and women. The entertainment
concluded with play. entitled THE Postal
